[Bilimsel Haber] CFP: “Theorized History,” special issue of French Historical Studies

[Gonul Pultar]

The editors of French Historical Studies seek articles for a special 
issue on “Theorized History.” Articles that demonstrate exciting new 
approaches to the writing of history are welcome. Rather than taking a 
polemical position on whether the “linguistic turn” proved beneficial or 
detrimental to the field of history, we are interested in examples of 
historical analysis that investigate the past with the awareness that it 
comes to us through textual artifacts in the broadest sense of that 
term. In particular, we are hoping to assemble a collection of articles 
that move beyond some of the binary oppositions that have so divided the 
field of French history in the last twenty years: the “social” vs. the 
“cultural,” “biological reality” vs. “discursive representation,” and 
“history” vs. “theory.” We seek essays which demonstrate each side of 
these binaries as informing and constituting, rather than opposing, the 
other. We are further interested in scholarship that treats history and 
theory as inseparable components of a unified approach to historical 
practice. We are hoping for essays from a wide variety of sub-fields 
within French History, including science and medicine, race and the 
Empire, social, intellectual and cultural history, gender, and 
transnational approaches.

Queries regarding submissions should be addressed to the guest editors, 
Paul Friedland (paulfriedland at gmail.com) and Mary Louise Roberts 
(maryroberts at wisc.edu). Articles may be either in English or in French 
but must conform to French Historical Studies style (see 
http://fhs.ucdavis.edu/style/shtml for details) and must be accompanied 
by abstracts in both languages. Quotations must be translated from the 
French for articles in English. Papers should be between 8,000 and 
10,000 words (up to but not longer than 15,000 words including notes). 
For the inclusion of illustrations written permission must be obtained 
from the relevant persons or institutions for print and on-line publication.
