Canadiana

The collection will offer a platform for the presentation of research-works in Canadian Studies, a discipline of increasing interest. New developments in the Studies of Literature, Culture and Media shall be documented in the new collection. The specific character of Canadianess creates a major interest for intercultural, multicultural and transcultural aspects. This fact will have an impact not only on the basic research fields, but also on epistemological dimensions. In this collection, research works to Canadian issues will be published in German, English or French, with abstracts in the other two languages. Editors’ Homepage: Prof. Dr. Klaus-Dieter Ertler Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Klooß La présente collection cherche à fournir une plate-forme aux travaux de recherche portant sur les Etudes canadiennes, dont l'importance ne cesse d'augmenter. Elle servira de documentation des nouveaux développements en recherches sur les littératures, les cultures et les médias. Par le caractère particulier de la canadianité, les aspects interculturels, multiculturels et transculturels y connaîtront une dimension particulière, ce qui aura des conséquences non seulement aux objets de la recherche, mais aussi aux questions épistémologiques. Dans notre collection, les recherches sur les sujets canadiens seront publiées en allemand, anglais ou français, avec des résumés dans les deux autres langues respectives. Page d'accueil des éditeurs: Prof. Dr. Klaus-Dieter Ertler Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Klooß Die Reihe versteht sich als Plattform für Forschungsarbeiten aus dem Bereich der Kanada-Studien, deren Bedeutung in den letzten Jahren ständig zugenommen hat. Neuere Entwicklungen in den Literatur-, Kultur- und Medienwissenschaften sollen hier dokumentiert werden. Durch den spezifischen Charakter des Kanadischen kommt den interkulturellen, multikulturellen und transkulturellen Aspekten eine besondere Bedeutung zu, was sich nicht nur auf die untersuchten Zusammenhänge, sondern auch auf die epistemologische Dimension auswirkt. In dieser Reihe werden die Untersuchungen zu kanadischen Themen in deutscher, englischer oder französischer Sprache mit abstracts in den jeweils anderen Sprachen veröffentlicht.

Études canadiennes – Canadian Studies

ISSN: 1781-3867

This series examines the many facets of Canadian reality from a multidisciplinary perspective. Contributions from both the humanities and the social sciences are invited. The editor welcomes manuscripts whose primary object is «Canada» in the widest possible sense of the term. The series therefore covers a variety of fields such as literature, history, sociology, politics, economics, geography, law, media, museology, etc. as well as comparative studies. One of the most innovative features of this series is its focus on the latest research conducted outside Canada. It therefore illuminates various aspects of the country in a new and significant manner and encourages a constant and innovative dialogue between Canadian scholars and the community of Canadian studies specialists worldwide. La collection «　Études canadiennes　» analyse les multiples facettes de la réalité canadienne dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire. Elle accueille des travaux sur tous les thèmes de recherche en sciences humaines et sociales qui ont pour objet principal le Canada dans son acception la plus large – études littéraires, historiques, sociologiques, politiques, économiques, géographiques, juridiques, médiatiques, muséologiques, etc. – mais elle met également l’accent sur les travaux comparatistes incluant le Canada. L’une des principales originalités de la collection est d’accueillir le fruit des recherches les plus récentes menées à l’extérieur du Canada. Elle jette ainsi un éclairage significatif et inédit sur les différentes composantes de ce pays, privilégiant le développement d’un dialogue constant et original entre les scientifiques canadiens et la communauté internationale des canadianistes répartis à travers le monde.

World Science Fiction Studies

ISSN: 2296-8814

World Science Fiction Studies understands science fiction to be an inherently global phenomenon. Proposals are invited for monographs and edited collections that celebrate the tremendous reach of a genre that continues to be interpreted and transformed by a variety of cultures and linguistic communities around the world. The series embraces this global vision of the genre but also supports the articulation of each community’s unique approach to the challenges of science, technology and society. The series encourages the use of contemporary theoretical approaches (e.g. postcolonialism, posthumanism, feminisms, ecocriticism) as well as engagement with positionalities understood through critical race and ethnicity studies, gender studies, queer theory, disability studies, class analysis, and beyond. Interdisciplinary work and research on any media (e.g. print, film, television, visual arts, video games, new media) is welcome. The language of the series is English. Advisory Board: Jinyi Chu (Yale University), Antonio Cordoba (Manhattan College), Elizabeth Ginway (University of Florida), Hugh O’Connell (University of Massachusetts, Boston), Iva Polak (University of Zagreb), Umberto Rossi (Sapienza University of Rome), Alfredo Luiz Suppia (University of Campinas), Ida Yoshinaga (Georgia Institute of Technology).
