Forthcoming issues CALL FOR PAPERS Critical Arts, a journal for media studies dedicated to the critical analysis of performance and communication media in the Third World, seeks contributions to a forth- coming issue to be entitled: POPULAR CULTURE AND PERFORMANCE IN AFRICA the questions to be addressed in this issue are: The journal encourages articles which question the ideo- logica'l assumptions underlying established modes of inter- pretation. It prefers approaches focussing on the sets of conditions and relations which produce performances and texts, rather than on textual analysis itself. Among * definitions of popular and working class culture * ideological problems in cultural analysis * artist/audience relationships and qualities of participation * the social effect and autonomy of popular culture * the value of class analysis and other structural concepts in cultural analysis Contributions which present fresh theoretical and methodo- logical perspectives are especially welcome, as are analyses of forms of African popular culture that relate them to the social, historical, political, and economic conditions from which they emerge. In linking popular culture with critical social theory, the journal promotes the development of unified frameworks for the study of communication in the context of African experience.
