Call for Papers: Rereading the Canon: Feminist Interpretations of Jean-Paul Sartre. Papers reflecting a range of feminist styles and approaches to Sartre's philosophy are sought for a volume to be published in the Penn State Press series, Rereading the Canon, edited by Nancy Tuana. I am interested in critical feminist discussions of any major aspect of Sartre's philosophy from his early existential writings and notebooks on ethics, to his Critique, biographies, novels, and plays. Papers that address the significance of Sartre's work for feminist theories of social transformation are particularly welcomed. Deadline for submission of completed manuscripts is June 30, 1997. Send inquiries, proposals, and two copies of manuscripts to: Professor Julien Murphy, Department of Philosophy, University of Southern Maine, Portland, ME 04103.

Call for Papers: Rereading the Canon: Feminist Interpretations of Augustine. There is hardly a figure in western thought whose ideas about women generate more controversy than Augustine of Hippo—a thinker who has exerted an enormous and enduring influence on western culture since the fifth century. Feminist Interpretations of Augustine will be part of the Re-Reading the Canon under the general editorship of Nancy Tuana, published by Penn State Press. This collection will reflect the breadth of Augustine's thinking and will include essays from a wide range of feminist approaches—those already underway as well as those newly conceived. Analyses and critiques from many feminist perspectives and intersecting disciplines are welcomed. Topics may include but are not limited to Augustine's views on women, the body, human sexuality, marriage and the family; the contested notion of “imago Dei”; women in the church and society; his views on concupiscence, love, friendship; and his notions of politics, the state, coercion and violence, especially as these relate to women. Deadline for submission of completed manuscripts is September 15, 1997. Send inquiries, proposals, and two copies of papers to Dr. Judith C. Stark, Philosophy Department, Seton Hall University, South Orange, New Jersey 07079; e-mail:
