Call for Submissions - Destructive Praise Anthology: Whiteness and Blackness in Quentin Tarantino's Films

Deadline: 30 April 2013

(Jennifer Jazz, the editor of Destructive Praise, would like to invite submissions for an anthology on Quentin Tarantino's films and how he "treats whiteness and blackness". Details below.)

Destructive Praise, ​a creative group committed to publishing critical work too hip for academia, is now accepting submissions for a June 2013 anthology around the films of Quentin Tarantino.

​We're looking for pieces that:
  • create imaginative links between Tarantino's films and those of other directors, music or visual art
  • examine how he treats whiteness and blackness
  • map his influences
  • look at his identity as Hollywood "other"
  • present fresh readings of his plots or characters
We'll be leaning towards egocentric narratives that go deep. We're also interested in English translations from writers outside the United States. Word count approximately 1500 - 4000.​

Contributors will retain all rights. We welcome queries.

​ The anthology will be a small paperback run that's guerrilla marketed. We can't offer advances. Writers selected, however, will receive two complimentary copies and a chance to edit our next anthology.
