Words for Football: World literature on Soccer and the Human Condition

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
“Words for Football: World Literature on Soccer and the Human
Condition”

As co-editors of a forthcoming anthology of world literature related to
football/soccer (University of Nebraska Press), we invite original submissions
for possible inclusion.

Essays, poetry, diaries, memoirs, short fiction, interviews, ethnographies,
field reports, video and audio transcripts, and academic research -- of no more
than 5,000 words per submission -- on all aspects of football, its culture, and
place in daily life are welcome. We are especially interested in contributions
about the grassroots game, women’s soccer, and the meaning of football as
a political, psycho-social, and aesthetic component in communities and among
persons around the world.

Submissions in languages other than English are encouraged, if accompanied by an
English-language summary of 100 to 150 words. The deadline for submissions is
June 1, 2006. Please include a mailing address and e-mail address (if
available).

If your contribution of original work is accepted -- either in full or in
abridged version -- you will receive a consent-to-publish form for your approval
and a complimentary copy of the anthology when published.

Address or e-mail submissions as documents or PDF attachments to:
