The Journal of Folklore Research invites papers on any aspect of the folklore of conflict zones and conflict resolution. Topics may be current or not-so-current. “Conflict” for the purposes of the issue should be understood to involve the group use or serious threat of coercive physical force. Theories and comparative treatments of vernacular discursive tactics and interventions, based on field observation and/or analysis of archived or published texts, are welcome. Please send an article proposal in the form of a 200-300 word abstract to mills.186@osu.edu. If accepted, we will solicit a finished paper for external review. Papers (total 20-35 pp. double-spaced) will be needed by February 28, 2009. Details
