Call for Submissions to Paper Monster Press's Dream Pop Issue

After setting the mood with the seductive flair of our "S/Trip-Hop Issue," we will now be leading you into a lovely afterglow with the "DREAM POP ISSUE."

Melodies taking you on an out-of-body experience; rhythms wrapping you up in a blanket of spacious soundscapes; and voices resonating like an echo-laden remix of your favorite bedtime lullaby. Dream Pop is the kind of music that keeps you awake yet under the sheets in a trancelike state at any hour of the day. It is atmospheric and ethereal ... And that is precisely what Paper Monster's fourth issue is all about.

It may seem like such an underground subgenre, but in fact, Wikipedia has its own looong alphabetical list of dream pop artists. If you can get an aural picture of Kevin Shield's (My Bloody Valentine) indulgence for delayed and distorted guitar effects with Elizabeth Fraser's (Cocteau Twins) or Hope Sandoval's (Mazzy Star) sleepy-eyed vocals; and Anthony Gonzalez's (M83) blurry and up-front synthesizer tones, then it's quite easy to catch our drift.

Once again, we are calling all literary, visual and sound artists to give us their personal interpretations of DREAM POP in the form/s of:

LITERARY ART: We accept poetry, literary essays, critical essays, microfiction, reviews of Paper Monster Press issues 1-3, and ekphrasis works.

VISUAL ART: We accept new media art, installation art, abstract expressionism, lowbrow, graffiti, body art, pop art, photography etc. (any kind of visual art, basically).

SOUND ART: We accept sounds that embody dream pop. Think spacious, ambient, steady, atmospheric,ethereal.

General Guidelines:

All works must be submitted to papermonsterpress@yahoo.com.

Each contributor may submit 3 works ONLY from each category. That means you may submit 3 literary works, 3 artworks, and 3 musical pieces, but no more than that. This is to give space and a chance to others.

Submissions must be loosely/closely based on the dream pop genre of music.

The EIC’s laptop is Buddhist, so aside from attaching text submissions, kindly paste the contents of your piece to the body of your e-mail.

Submit literary pieces in English or Filipino. We do not have the capacity to read and/or translate foreign languages as well as local dialects at the moment. Works should not exceed 500 words.

Submit artworks in JPEG format. We accept both colored and black or white art, but please be reminded that PMP will only have a colored cover, the rest of the zine will be in black and white.

Submit sounds in MP3 format.

If your piece is inspired by a dream pop artist/work, kindly state the artist/work from which your piece sprang from.

PMP religiously follows the process of selecting and editing. We stand by our editors’ decisions. Please, don’t feel bad if your work wasn’t selected for an issue. There’s going to be lots more of Paper Monster Press in the future.

For updates, just check the Paper Monster Press Facebook page (www.facebook.com/papermonsterpress).

Deadline for this issue: JUNE 30, 2011

Ladies and gentlemen, let us now get ready to float in space...

Hero's revolutionary spirit reclaimed

In celebration of the 150th year of Rizal's birth, John Nery'sRevolutionary Spirit, an exhaustive study of Rizal, his works, and hisinfluence in Southeast Asia, has been published by the Ateneo deManila University Press, in cooperation with Singapore's Institute ofSoutheast Asian Studies (ISEAS).

In collecting material for and working on this book's engaginglywritten chapters, Nery sought to discern Rizal's impact on Asia andamong Asian intellectuals by studying Rizal himself, getting to knowhim more, and finding out how his contemporaries saw him. In theprocess he encounters and discusses at length many influentialmisreadings.

Noted historian Fr. John N. Schumacher, SJ, finds that Nery "breaksmuch newer ground in the larger part of the book, demonstrating therole Rizal played in inspiring Indonesian nationalists." Malaysianauthor Shaharuddin Maaruf likewise recognizes Nery's contribution toan insightful examination of a great life as well as to an enriched"Southeast Asian philosophy of history."

In his preface, the author cites a Social Weather Stations survey thatreports Rizal's "preeminence in the Philippine pantheon withunprecedented clarity, 150 years after his birth" among itsrespondents. The author contends that while this finding would nothave surprised Rizal's contemporaries, including Bonifacio, manycollege-educated Filipinos have been "taught that Rizal wasinsufficiently nationalistic, a patriot compromised by his class, aseparatist undone by his scruples" according to the most influentialhistory texts of the second half of the 20th century.

Through an impressive bibliography in Spanish, Indonesian, Dutch,English and Tagalog, the author rigorously shows that thisinterpretation is seriously inadequate. Further the author likewiseproves that Rizal's status as foremost Filipino hero can also bediscerned in how the Indonesians and Malaysians appropriated him inthe movement for independence, and in how he figures in the region'sintellectual, political and literary discourse.

John Nery, PDI senior editor, is a visiting research fellow at theISEAS, and the first Sandra Burton Nieman Fellow in Journalism atHarvard University (2011-2012). He has been cited for hisinvestigative reports and opinion journalism.

Revolutionary Spirit: Jose Rizal in Southeast Asia is available at the Ateneo Press bookshop, Bellarmine Hall, Ateneo de Manila University,Loyola Heights campus, and soon in bookstores nationwide
