OPEN CALL: Differentiated Bodies

Call for Submissions: Subliminal Statements 3: Differentiated Bodies in Newsletter of the Society for a Subliminal State. Due December 31, 2007. Please email info@subliminalstate.org if you have a question regarding an article you'd like to write. For our third issue, Subliminal Statements asks you to help us grapple with phenomena in the solar system. Differentiated Bodies will examine the objects in our solar system with differentiated composition: from planets like earth, to the legions of asteroids with rocky surfaces and a crystalline once-molten cores.

We want your writings about all manner of celestial objects and subjects:
Planets and Moons; The bands of habitability inside planets further from the Sun than Earth; Comets; Objects in the Asteroid and Kuiper Belts; The Oort Cloud; The Sun, and its swirling combustive surface. Differentiated bodies here on Earth (made of rock, flesh, or anything else) Tell us your story about any of these objects or phenomena. Describe it, uncover it, recount its implications. Tell us how these things effect us. What do we see when we look at the sky, and how does the differentiation of celestial bodies impact our own differentiated bodies and minds. What changes does it enact in us?

Subliminal Statements is published in a newspaper format. Accordingly we will accept articles and essays written in a style befitting a newspaper: written as though reported, brief editorials, etc. Due to the scientific nature of the issue's theme, we are also accepting submissions in the form of scientific papers, charts, or other data-heavy examinations of the theme.
