CALL FOR PAPERS: MHRA Working Papers in the Humanities

The Modern Humanities Research Association (MHRA) Working Papers in the
Humanities (http://www.mhra.org.uk/ojs/index.php/wph) is a new electronic
publication forum intended to allow researchers to present initial 
findings or
hypotheses such as might, at a more advanced stage, become eligible for
publication in established scholarly journals. As such it will be of 
particular
interest to postgraduate researchers, though established scholars are also
invited to submit papers.

Submissions for the first issue of the Working Papers, to be published in
October 2006, are invited on any topic, but the editorial panel aims to 
choose
half of the papers from submissions that relate to the theme of 'Youth and
Age'. Authors might consider, among other things: the cultural 
construction and
symbolization of youth and age (e.g. notions of 'young blood', coming of 
age,
seniority); the role these terms play in constructions of gender, ethnicity,
etc.; the symbolization of political or artistic succession in terms of 
youth
and age (e.g. 'the old guard' / 'young Turks'); and the privileging, in
cultural discourses about generational succession, of the male 'line' over
female-female and mixed-gender relations. Authors may also want to dismantle
the opposition youth / age to consider more complex models of life stages.

Papers may come from any field in the 'modern humanities', which 
includes the
modern and medieval languages, literatures, and cultures of Europe 
(including
English and the Slavonic languages, and the cultures of the European 
diaspora).
History, library studies, education and pedagogical subjects, and the 
medical
application of linguistics are excluded.

THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS 1ST MAY 2006.

Any questions can be directed to the editors at postgrads at mhra.org.uk
