Submissions for Issue 2: Apocalypses & Garden Furniture are now closed. Please do not send anything on this theme, as it will be deleted unread.
Please send in your submissions for Issues 3 & 4, which are:
Issue 3: Sex in the Time of VHS - Think about the relevance of love and relationships in a time of technological change and obsolescence; think about cybersex and teledildonics; think about technology and fetishism, and how the body integrates and changes the mechanical; think Videodrome meets the Marquis de Sade; think media culture, the flesh and desire; think pain, glory and perversion.
Issue 4: Queer & Loathing in Wonderland - Think about the body and gender; think about sex; think about the landscapes we live in, the ideals we strive for and the utopian dream; think about urban existence and disaffection; think about gonzo journalism and the collapse between fiction and non-fiction; think about weird places and strained interactions in a place full of strangers.
All submissions must have a countercultural element. By this we mean an enagagement with, challenging of or subverting of popular cultures and ideologies. Many submissions lack this important point. Remember: we are 'The Anti-Pop Culture Journal'. If you want to know what that means, pick up Issue 2 when it comes out and see how our mission statement and our themes come together. Read the editorial introduction. Read the stories. Read the poems. Look at the art. Read the columns. Then ask yourself, 'Can I really imagine myself alongside these works?' If you can, then submissions should be sent, as always, to editor@polluto.com.
