Call for Papers: Genre Fiction in German
The German tradition of Bildung and the disciplinary practice of German
Literature (Germanistik) have long marginalized the study of any kind of
literature which did not fall into the canon of high culture. Even
today, when the examination of non-canonical texts is well established
and uncontroversial in other academic contexts, such texts remain
under-studied in German. This is particularly true of genre fiction.
The editors of this proposed volume seek to address this relative lack
of academic scrutiny and to contribute to the larger project of the
interdisciplinary study of popular culture within German Studies. We are
soliciting new research on all forms of German-language genre fiction
including (but not limited to) detective fiction, science fiction,
romance and westerns. Completed essays should be 15-25 double-spaced
pages in length, with the usual academic apparatus, and should include a
separate bibliography.
Prospective contributors should please send a 1-2 page proposal and a
c.v. to the editors by April 15, 2008:
Vibeke R. Petersen, Professor of Women's Studies, Dept. for
the Study of Culture and Society, Drake University ([log in to unmask])
Alison Guenther-Pal, Postdoctoral Fellow in German and Film Studies,
Lawrence University ([log in to unmask])
Bruce Campbell, Associate Professor of German Studies, The College of
William & Mary ([log in to unmask]).
Proposals should be sent as .rtf, .doc or .wpd files.
