Anthropology + Materialism, A Journal of Social Research, an  international and multidisciplinary journal at the crossroads of  anthropology and materialism, which focuses on the critique of social  phenomena, announces a call for papers for its inaugural issue to be  published in September 2011.The first issue of the journal will be dedicated to the topic “Walter  Benjamin and anthropological materialism”, but propositions related to a  “materialist anthropology” inspired by Michel Foucault, Pierre Clastres  and other contemporary thinkers are welcomed.Both theoretical and ethnographic articles are invited in relation to  the general topic of the journal. All articles are peer reviewed and  are submitted on the condition that they are not in consideration for  publication elsewhere.The present deadline for articles to be included in the first issue of the journal is set for the 1st of May 2011.Length:Articles should typically be between 5,000 and 10,000 words (notes  and bibliography inclusive), and should also include an abstract of  100-200 words as well as a short note of 20-50 words on the contributor.Format:Manuscripts should be typed in double-spaced format including notes  and bibliography. Acknowledgements should form an unnumbered note at the  end of the text before the numbered endnotes. Quotations of more than  50 words should be indented after a double hard return. Foreign words,  excluding proper names, should be italicized.Language:British spelling conventions are to be followed for contributions in English (e.g. labour, not labor), including “-ise” instead of “-ize”.References:References should be in the form of in-text citations, and not in the  form of footnotes, and should in all cases include the last name of the  author, the date of publication and page numbers for direct quotations,  e.g. (Benjamin 1974: 3), or if the name of the author is mentioned in  the text by date and page number only, e.g. “According to Benjamin  (1974: 3)”. Endnotes should be used for elucidating points only.Bibliography:Bibliographical entries should be in alphabetical order including  name and initial of author, date of publication, title and, in the case  of books, place of publication and publisher. In the case of articles  the full name of the journal should be included as well as volume,  number and pagination.ExamplesAllen, N.J. 2000.
