CALL FOR BOOK PROPOSALS
The Sussex Center for the Individual and Society (SCIS) tentatively
solicites book proposals for a possible SCIS series to be published by
Imprint Academic.
We currently have two titles under contract with Imprint Academic, namely:
1) "Anti-Democratic Thought", ed. Erich Kofmel (due out December 2008)
2) "Anti-Liberalism and Political Theology", ed. Erich Kofmel (due out
summer 2009)
To continue this as a possible SCIS series, Imprint Academic is at
this point most interested in proposals for high-quality monographs.
Imprint Academic is the publisher of journals such as "History of
Political Thought", "Journal of Consciousness Studies", "Polis", and
"Cybernetics and Human Knowledge". Their book programme covers
ambitious titles in social and political thought, politics, religion,
philosophy, higher education, cultural studies, and cognition and
consciousness.

SCIS is an interdisciplinary research centre and we are interested in
book proposals dealing with the individual and society in the widest
sense. Every volume published in the planned series will probe the
boundaries of academic discourse.

SCIS is not bound to prevailing paradigms of social and political
thought. We will shift paradigms. We are positively elitist and
meritocratic and wish to re-create the academic ethos that got lost in
today's mass universities. We invite proposals for books that are
going to redefine a field or open up new research agendas across a
discipline or disciplines, have the potential to be controversial and
will have an impact in the world. We seek out daring and unusual
research (there are no restrictions) that may alter the application of
knowledge and will benefit from being published in a congenial series.
The quality of scholarship and writing and the personality and way of
thinking of the individual researcher are what is all important.
Proposals are welcome from within the social sciences and humanities
as well as related disciplines such as development studies, social
psychology, cognitive science and artificial intelligence.
In a first step, please send an e-mail outlining the topic and aims of
your proposed book to:

Thank you.
