CALL FOR PARTICIPANTSβ€”Feminisms with Chinese Characteristics: A Scholarly and Creative Collaboration

What do feminisms mean to you? Whose feminisms? Do Chinese interpretations of feminisms accord with or contradict your own views? Perhaps you have not thought of these questions, especially the last one. This special collaboration between editors of πΉπ‘’π‘šπ‘–π‘›π‘–π‘ π‘šπ‘  π‘€π‘–π‘‘β„Ž πΆβ„Žπ‘–π‘›π‘’π‘ π‘’ πΆβ„Žπ‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘π‘‘π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘ π‘‘π‘–π‘π‘ ,Β Cha: An Asian Literary Journal, andΒ Chinese Literature and Thought Today aims to bring together scholarly work and creative endeavours on feminisms.

We are looking for a group of creative writers to participate in a unique scholarly and creative collaboration. In this experiment, each writer will create an original piece of creative work in response to one essay in πΉπ‘’π‘šπ‘–π‘›π‘–π‘ π‘šπ‘  π‘€π‘–π‘‘β„Ž πΆβ„Žπ‘–π‘›π‘’π‘ π‘’ πΆβ„Žπ‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘π‘‘π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘ π‘‘π‘–π‘π‘  (Syracuse University Press, 2021), edited by Ping Zhu and Hui Faye Xiao. Each creative work should be at least 3 pages; it can be a long poem, a short story, a literary memoir, an inventive interview, and moreβ€”please surprise us.

Selected pieces by Ho, Xiao, and Zhu will be published in πΆβ„Žπ‘Ž as a special feature and their authors will be invited to read their work in online events alongside the academics. Each selected creative writer will be awarded an honorarium for their contribution.
