size=2>The post-millennium world has seen a rapid escalation of violent
conflicts in the Middle East, West, Central and </FONT><FONT size=2>some areas
of Southern Africa, and ongoing civil wars and human rights abuses in a variety
of other regions across </FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial><FONT
size=2>the world. As a means to engage these developments, Critical Arts
instituted a new Section, “Under Fire”. This is </FONT><FONT size=2>in keeping
with its interpretation of cultural studies as a form of praxis, of experience,
and of strategic </FONT><FONT size=2>intervention, in which individuals find
themselves caught up in broader process over which they may have little or
</FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>no
control. </FONT></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>The
aim of this section is to invite short theorised autobiographies,
authoethnographies, and dramatic narratives </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>of
what it is like living under fire, of the relevance of cultural studies in such
circumstances, and how it could be </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial
size=2>deployed to challenge such conditions. (Length: anything up to 2000
words.) </FONT></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>The
original Call emanated from a number of unsolicited submissions we have been
receiving from colleagues in </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial

The exigencies of being under fire make it </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>hard
to find the discursive space in which participants can catch enough breath to

does a culture of resistance lose focus, becoming a culture of violence as an

what point can one recognize when legitimate defence against violence has
suddenly become </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial
size=2>indistinguishable from the Warsaw Ghetto? </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>· How
can we turn war-talk into justice-talk, without provoking war-mongers to renewed
efforts? </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>· In a

those under fire on </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial

restitution, restoration, and </FONT></P>

size=2>reformation, in the face of corporate and state reaction? </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>·
Closer to our sites of research, when does academic managerialism,
burocratization of research become </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial
size=2>offensive, anti-humanist and self-destructive? The academic enterprise is
