[Bilimsel Haber] CFP: Transculturalisms, 1400-1700 (ongoing; new book series)

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

Announcing a new series from Ashgate Publishing Company—


Transculturalisms, 1400–1700

Series Editors:  Ann Rosalind Jones, Smith College; Jyotsna G. Singh,
Michigan State University; and Mihoko Suzuki, University of Miami

This series will present studies of the early modern contacts and
exchanges among the states, polities and entrepreneurial organizations
of Europe; Asia, including the Levant and East India/Indies; Africa; and
the Americas.

Books will investigate travelers, merchants and cultural inventors,
including explorers, mapmakers, artists and writers, as they operated in
political, mercantile, sexual and linguistic economies. We encourage
authors to reflect on their own methodologies in relation to issues and
theories relevant to the study of transculturism/translation and
transnationalism.

We are particularly interested in work on and from the perspective of
the Asians, Africans, and Americans involved in these interactions, and
on such topics as:

• Material exchanges, including textiles, paper and printing, and
technologies of knowledge
• Movements of bodies: embassies, voyagers, piracy, enslavement
• Travel writing: its purposes, practices, forms and effects on writing
in other genres
• Belief systems: religions, philosophies, sciences
• Translations: verbal, artistic, philosophical
• Forms of transnational violence and its representations

Proposals should take the form of either

1.  a preliminary letter of inquiry, briefly describing the project; or
2.  a formal prospectus including: abstract, brief statement of
editorial methodology, table of contents, sample chapter, estimate of
length (NB, in words, pls), estimate of the number and type of
illustrations to be included, and a c.v.

Please send a copy of either type of proposal to each of the three
series editors and to the publisher, at these addresses:
