Asian American Studies

The Asian American Studies series will continue to contribute to an understanding of the long neglected history, rich cultural heritage, and present position of Asian Americans in society. The series encompasses studies on all aspects of the Asian American experience, and we are committed to expanding the traditions of knowledge within the field to address vast Asian American epistemologies, communities, activities, and practices. We are looking for work which explores various facets of a transnational perspective including for example: diaspora, displacement and migratory identities, cultural hybridity, transculturation, comparative race studies, contemporary community issues, immigration politics, nationalisms, and representation. While seeking the highest standards of scholarship, the Asian American Studies series is thus a broad forum for research on diverse and complex Asian American issues. The Asian American Studies series is committed to interdisciplinary and cross cultural scholarship. The series scope is primarily in the Humanities and Social Sciences. For example, topics in history, literature, culture, philosophy, religion, visual arts, performing arts, sociology, language & linguistics, gender studies, global studies, ethnic studies, etc. would be suitable. The series welcomes both individually authored and collaboratively authored books and monographs as well as edited collections of essays. The series will publish manuscripts primarily in English (although secondary references in other languages are certainly acceptable). Proposals from both emerging and established scholars are welcome.

Modern French Identities

ISSN: 1422-9005

This series aims to publish monographs, editions or collections of papers based on recent research into modern French literature. It welcomes contributions from academics, researchers and writers worldwide and in British and Irish universities in particular. Modern French Identities focuses on the French and Francophone writing of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, whose formal experiments and revisions of genre have combined to create an entirely new set of literary forms, from the thematic autobiographies of Michel Leiris and Bernard Noël to the magic realism of French Caribbean writers. The idea that identities are constructed rather than found, and that the self is an area to explore rather than a given pretext, runs through much of modern French literature, from Proust, Gide, Apollinaire and Césaire to Barthes, Duras, Kristeva, Glissant, Germain and Roubaud. This series explores the turmoil in ideas and values expressed in the works of theorists like Lacan, Irigaray, Foucault, Fanon, Deleuze and Bourdieu and traces the impact of current theoretical approaches – such as gender and sexuality studies, de/coloniality, intersectionality, and ecocriticism – on the literary and cultural interpretation of the self. The series publishes studies of individual authors and artists, comparative studies, and interdisciplinary projects and welcomes research on autobiography, cinema, fiction, poetry and performance art and/or the intersections between them.

Carysfort Press Ltd.

Selected titles from Carysfort Press Peter Lang is pleased to announce that it has recently begun to distribute a new selection of outstanding titles from Carysfort Press. This Dublin-based company was formed in 1998. Its programme embraces contemporary writing for and about the theatre and about other performing arts. We believe that drama is playing an ever-increasing role in society today and that enjoyment of the theatre, both professional and amateur, currently plays a central part, for example in Irish culture. Carysfort Press aims to produce high-quality publications which, though written or edited by academics, will be accessible to a wide general readership. Titres sélectionné de Carysfort Press Peter Lang est heureux d’annoncer qu’il distribuera dorénavant une nouvelle sélection de titres de très grande qualité publiés par Carysfort Press. Cette maison d’édition irlandaise a été fondée à Dublin en 1998 et axe son programme autour d’écrits contemporains portant sur le théâtre et sur les arts du spectacle en général. Nous opinons que le théâtre joue un rôle majeur dans notre société et que le plaisir du théâtre, qu’il soit professionnel ou amateur, occupe une place prépondérante dans la culture irlandaise contemporaine, par exemple. Par ailleurs, Carysfort Press produit des publications de haut niveau qui, bien que réalisées par des académiques, s’adressent à une audience plus large. Ausgewählte Titel von Carysfort Press Neu vertreibt Peter Lang eine Serie herausragender Titel von Carysfort Press. Dieser in Dublin domizilierte Verlag wurde 1998 gegründet. Das Programm umfasst zeitgenössische Literatur für und um Theateraufführungen und andere darstellende Künste. Wir glauben, dass die Kunstform Drama eine immer wichtigere Rolle in der heutigen Gesellschaft spielt. Vor allem weil die Begeisterung für Aufführungen, unter Berufsleuten aber auch unter Privaten, eine immer zentralere Rolle einnimmt. Sei hier lediglich die Irische Kunstwelt als Vorreiter erwähnt. Die Stärke von Carysfort Press liegt in der Veröffentlichung hochstehender und für eine breite Leserschaft bestimmter Literatur, welche durch eine akademische Herausgeberschaft publiziert wird.
