Call for Papers for Scholarly Publication

- Zora Neale Hurston:

Art, Religion, and the History

of the African Diaspora

Deadline: 1 May 2013

Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) was an anthropologist, a novelist, a folklorist, a playwright, and a history maker in her own right. Hurston was a product of the Harlem Renaissance and is often described as one of the greatest literary artists of the twentieth century. Praised by many for her studies of African derived religions in the American South, Haiti, and Jamaica, she is most famous for her 1937 novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, and her literary works inspired such writers as Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Ishmael Reed, Gloria Naylor, and Jewell Parker Rhodes, among others.

This scholarly publication is timed to coincide with the year-long 75th anniversary celebration for Their Eyes Were Watching God in 2012 and 2013, and it is related to the September 2012 “Watching God and Reading Hurston Conference.” This open-access journal will be published electronically via Digital Commons at Cleveland State University. (For more information on the Hurston Conference, the RASHAD Initiative, and CSU’s Digital Commons / Engaged Scholarship activities, please visit http://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/hurston/.)

Typewritten, double-spaced manuscripts, no more than 30 pages in length (including endnotes), should be prepared using A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (University of Chicago Press, 2007 or later).

Hypnose er ikke farligt. Det er en naturlig tilstand, som du faktisk også glider ind og ud af, når du falder i søvn og lige inden du vågner op. Det er en naturlig forekommende tilstand i mennesker at kunne hypnotiseres. Al hypnose er selvhypnose, som betyder at du er med hele vejen i hypnose processen. Du vil være i fuld kontrol hele vejen, og derfor vil der ikke ske noget som du ikke har lyst til. Du bestemer farten og indholdet af behandlingen, både før under og efter behandlingen.
