CALL FOR PAPERS: MHRA Working Papers in the Humanities

Contributions are now invited for the 2007 issue of the MHRA Working 
Papers in the Humanities. A special, themed section of the journal will 
be dedicated to "Identity Formation," but other topics are welcome as well.

The MHRA Working Papers in the Humanities
(http://www.mhra.org.uk/ojs/index.php/wph) is an 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.

The second issue of the Working Papers will be published in November 
2007, and the editorial panel aims to choose half of the papers from 
submissions that relate to the theme of "Identity Formation." Authors 
might consider, among other things:
- the role of philosophy, theology, sociology and/or ideology in the 
formation of identity
- national, diasporic and transcultural identities, hybridity, 
otherness, citizenship and the effects of migration on identities
- gender and sexual identity
- youth and age
- narrative identity, i.e. identity as a result of narrative language,
plot structure, spatial relationships, characterisation and
multimodal/transmedial representation

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 2007.

In order to submit a paper, you are kindly asked to register your name 
and email address with the journal at 
http://mhra.org.uk/ojs/index.php/wph/user/register.
You can register as author and/or peer reviewer. Submission works either
through the journal website
(http://www.mhra.org.uk/ojs/index.php/wph/author/submit/1) after logging 
in or via email to the editors (see below).

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