Call for Publications Theme: Cosmopolitanisms, Race, and Ethnicity Publication: Collection of essays Deadline: 30.7.2017 __________________________________________________ The collection of essays “Cosmopolitanisms, Race, and Ethnicity” focuses on the intersection of race, ethnicity, and cosmopolitanism as conceptualized in contemporary theory and race and ethnicity studies in the U.S. If the notions of race and ethnicity have been interrogated and discussed by numerous scholars, it is only recently that the critical gaze has been turned in the direction of cosmopolitanism. The book will investigate how contemporary scholars of ethnic and postcolonial studies theorize cosmopolitanism in the U.S. in an attempt to see it as a notion that could provide a platform for transcultural human communication and transnational human solidarity. No longer viewed as an attribute of intellectual Western elites, the new cosmopolitanism is vernacular and part of what H. Bhabha terms “minoritarian modernity.” The book will attempt to distinguish the main lines of cosmopolitan thought and investigate in what way they could enrich the perception and understanding of the culture of multiracial and multiethnic societies such as the United States. The call for papers encourages essays that address but are not limited to the following topics: - Transnationalism and trans-indigenism - Diaspora, Black Atlantic and migration - Transculturation - Postcolonialism and anti-imperialism - Pan-Africanism and pan-Americanism - Marxist internationalism, old and new - Transatlantic slave trade and transatlantic abolitionism - Glocalization and hybridity - Border studies - Intersecting identities - Nomadism - Creolization - New Mestiza and new tribalism - Immigrant writing - Travel writing and tourist cultures The project is funded by a grant from the University of Warsaw. The book will be peer-reviewed and published by Peter Lang in the series “Encounters: Warsaw Studies in English Language, Culture, Literature, and Visual Arts.” Only original and unpublished submissions will be considered. Manuscripts should be between 5000-7000 words and should adhere to the latest MLA style. Please send complete papers to e.b.luc...@uw.edu.pl or a.pochm...@uw.edu.pl by July 30, 2017.
