Call for Contributions
The co-editors Michael Boehringer (University of Waterloo) and Susanne
Hochreiter (Universität Wien) invite contributions on the topic:
Zeitenwende: Österreichische Literatur seit dem Millennium, 2000-2010
for an edited volume to be published with an Austrian publisher,
scheduled to appear late 2010/early 2011.
Fin-de-siècle Austrian literature has been widely been recognized as a
key period in German-language literature for its innovation both in
terms of form and content, reflecting the rapid social, economic and
technological changes at the turn of the century.
The envisioned volume intends to provide a first scholarly overview of
Austrian literature of the New Millennium. How do both established and
new Austrian authors engage with the political, cultural, economical,
and technological changes associated with the first decade of the 21st
century? Are there dominant themes and topics to be detected in the
Austrian literature of the last decade? Summary treatments of one or
more authors or one or more works are equally welcome, but the focus of
the essays should be on the first decade of this millennium.
Please send inquiries, expressions of interest in form of a 500-word
abstract, contact information, and a short biographical outline to
either editor. Submissions are accepted in either German or English.
Final essays should range between 15-25 pages (30,000-45,000
characters).
Deadline for Abstracts: October 1, 2009
Notification of Acceptance: November 1, 2009
Deadline for Final Essays: June 1, 2010
