> >This new series will highlight the relationship between understandings of
> >subjectivity andbroader historical change. It seeks to foster studies
> >which explore historical changes inthe construction of subjectivity and
> >which situate subjectivity in social, political andcultural contexts. We
> >are seeking works which interrogate and elucidate broad historical themes
> >and periods, cultural and social change by analysing discourses about
> >personal identity and subjectivity, or lifestories and representations of
> >the self.
> >
> >The series will have no chronological or geographical limitations, although
> >preference will be given to comparative work or studies which approach
> >their questions in a broad
> >transnational framework. As the emphasis on subjectivity suggests,
> >questions about gender and sexuality, and national or ethnic identity will
> >be central issues in all volumes.
> >
> >Detailed studies should also offer a sense of the broad context of
> >historical change:
> >questions of national identity, for example, should be discussed within
> >transnational and
> >imperial frameworks.
> >
> >The emphasis on 'critical' histories is indicative of our interest in
> >theoretical and
> >historiographical debates and in opening up new historical approaches which
> >problematise
> >standard ways of dealing with subjectivity and culture. We are
> >particularly interested in debates about historicising identity, and about
> >reading contemporary identity into the
> >past.

> >Volumes under consideration already address:
