*****Call for Contributions***** ANGERMION volume 2 (2009) Yearbook for Anglo-German Cultural Relations Edited by Rüdiger Görner (Queen Mary, London) Co-edited by Angus Nicholls (QM, London) and Michael John Kooy (Warwick) Published by de Gruyter, under the auspices of the Centre for Anglo-German Cultural Relations, Queen Mary College, University of London ANGERMION is a refereed yearbook for the analysis of historical and contemporary Anglo-German cultural transfers, mediations and reception processes. Literary criticism, literary theory, cultural studies, media studies and the history of ideas are the key fields of interest for the yearbook. The call for contributions for volume 2 (2009) is now open. The volume is scheduled to appear in autumn 2009. The theme for this volume is: National Concerns in Global Perspectives: Anglo-German Cultural Morphologies We invite contributions that consider the Anglo-German context of cultural globalism. Contributions may address questions such as: • How, if at all, have Anglophone and Germanic cultures reconciled national concerns with global and/or cosmopolitan aspirations? • How has the tension between national and global concerns shaped both cultures? • How has this tension as played out in one culture been observed by the other? We also welcome contributions on Anglo-German themes from the field of literary history, including world literature. Alongside the specific theme for each issue, we reserve space for essays on diverse topics relating to Anglo-German cultural transfer. We welcome individual essays on such topics as the comparative studies of literary and cultural criticism, inter-cultural prejudices, music culture, visual media, popular culture, myth research, and the study of urbanism and provincialism as cultural phenomena. Essays should be 5000-6000 words (including notes) and should be submitted electronically to Dr. Michael John Kooy, by 1 April 2009 ([log in to unmask]). Authors are advised to prepare their manuscripts according to the style sheet of the publisher. The stylesheet can be found at: http://www.sllf.qmul.ac.uk/research/anglogerman/ Essays will be considered by the editor, the co-editors and appropriate members of the advisory board.
