https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jaac Guidelines for Submitting Symposium ProposalsSymposia typically consist of three relatively brief papers that address a topic of current interest or that introduce a range of views on a new topic. Normally, a symposium dedicated to the discussion of a monograph or the published work of a particular author should make contributions to a topic that is not well represented in the journal. Combined, the papers should total no more than 11,000 words (about 44 typescript pages). Names and brief biographies of contributors should be included with the proposal. Invitations to authors of symposia contributions should attempt to advance the goal of supporting diversity of authorship and perspectives, including diversity with regard to gender and otherwise underrepresented groups. A narrative of 200-400 words should explain what issues are involved and why it is desirable to devote a symposium to them. Papers for the symposium that already exist should be included with the proposal. Guidelines for Submitting Special Issue ProposalsSpecial Issues typically consist of 10-12 papers, some invited and some chosen from submissions, that address a new or innovative approach to a topic that has not received the attention it deserves in JAAC. Proposals should include a title and a narrative of 300-500 words that explains what issues are involved and why it is desirable to devote a special issue to them. They should also include the names of several well-known people in the field who have committed to contributing to the proposed Special Issue along with, if possible, the topics of their contributions. Invitations to authors of special issue articles should attempt to advance the goal of supporting diversity of authorship and perspectives, including diversity with regard to gender and otherwise underrepresented groups. Finally, the proposal should contain a brief biography of the proposed guest editor(s) that highlights such things as editorial experience, achievements in one’s field, and activity in the ASA. Book ReviewsThe JAAC publishes timely reviews on books about aesthetics, criticism, the arts, and cultural theory. Book reviews inform JAAC readers about new and important contributions to the ongoing conversations in various fields of aesthetics and art criticism. Reviews evaluate each author's impact in the field; they also seek to aid readers in determining a book's usefulness for teaching. For information on book reviews please contact Jonathan Neufeld at College of Charleston.
