CFP: Pakistaniaat: A Journal of Pakistan Studies

Special Issue on The Aesthetics and Limits of Historical Memory:
Contemporary Perspectives on Bangladesh

Guest Editor: Neilesh Bose, University of North Texas

Under the guest editorship of Dr. Neilesh Bose, Pakistaniaat welcomes
submissions for its December 2013 edition with a focus on East Bengal, East
Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Given the recent reflections on history of the
1971 war in historical literature and film, this special issue aims to
interrogate the state of debate regarding historical legacies, the arts and
aesthetic representations, and silences and voices within the contemporary
age. This special edition builds upon the 2010 issue about the 1971
Indo-Pakistan war by focusing on the contemporary debates about
historiography, historical memory, literary criticism, and film. Given the
emergence in 2011 of Rubaiyat Hossein's film Meher Jaan, Sarmila Bose's
Dead Reckoning: Memories of the 1971 Bangladesh War, and Yasmin Saikia's
Women, War, and the Making of Bangladesh: Remembering 1971, the field now
includes vigorous debates about memorialization, historic accuracy,
nationalism, violence, women's roles in the conflicts, relations between
East and West Pakistan in the years leading up to the 1971 war. This new
vista of reflection about East Bengal, East Pakistan, and Bangladesh has
also entered the larger field of the history and culture of contemporary
Pakistan. The editorial staff welcomes creative writing (poetry and
prose), book review essays, scholarly articles featuring new research, and
translations of original texts about any of these topics.

For submission guidelines and submission, please visit
http://www.pakistaniaat.org/about/submissions#onlineSubmissions. Please
contact the guest editor, Dr. Neilesh Bose, neilesh.bose@unt.edu, with
questions and concerns.

Deadline for submissions is June 1, 2013.

Pakistaniaat is a refereed, multidisciplinary, and open access academic
