Studies in Composition and Rhetoric
"This series welcomes both individually-authored and collaboratively-authored books and monographs as well as edited collections of essays. We are especially interested in books that might be used in either advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in one or more of the following subjects: cultural or multicultural studies and the teaching of writing; feminist perspectives on composition and rhetoric; postmodernism and the theory and practice of composition; post-process pedagogies; values, ethics, and ideologies in the teaching of writing; information technology and composition pedagogy; the assessment of writing; authorship and intellectual property issues; and studies of oppositional discourse in the academy, particularly challenges to exclusionary or hegemonic conventions. We also seek proposals in the following areas: the role of autobiography and of identity issues in both writing and writing pedagogy; the influence of social context on composing; the relationship of composition and rhetoric to various disciplines and schools of thought; collaborative learning and peer tutoring; facilitating and responding to student writing; approaches to empowering marginalized learners; the role or status of composition studies within English studies and the academy at large; and the role or status of student writers within the fields of composition and English studies."

Minderheiten und Autonomien
Eurac Research SchriftenreiheDer Forschungsbereich setzt sich seit vielen Jahren mit Fragen des Minderheitenschutzes und der Möglichkeit einer Integration durch Autonomie auseinander. Ausgangspunkt ist hierfür die Südtiroler Autonomie im Vergleich mit der Situation von Minderheiten in anderen Europäischen Ländern. Dabei richtet sich das Interesse nicht nur auf europaweite Themen, sondern bezieht ebenso globale Veränderungen in Richtung Föderalismus- Regionalismus und Autonomiekonzepte zur Konfliktbefriedung mit ein. So etwa im Rahmen des Projektes MIRICO, bei dem unter der Leitung der EURAC neun internationale Partner die Rolle von Minderheitenrechte in ethnischen Konflikten am Beispiel Ex-Jugoslawiens und beim Wiederaufbau funktionierender Staatsstrukturen am Westbalkan untersuchen. Der Forschungsbereich bemüht sich, durch Seminare und Masterprogramme, Studien sowie Veröffentlichungen Antworten und Lösungsvorschläge für ethnische Konflikte in verschiedenen Regionen zu geben. So werden klassische Föderalismustheorien mit dem modernen Ansatz des territorialen und ethnischen Vielfalts-Management beispielsweise bei der Kosovo-Frage oder der Verfassungsreform in Bosnien Herzegowina kombiniert. Bände 1 bis 34 der Reihe sind beim Nomos-Verlag erschienen: https://www.nomos-elibrary.de/buchreihe/B001031800/schriftenreihe-der-europaeischen-akademie-bozen-bereich-minderheiten-und-autonomien?qReihe=B001031800&qReiheNr=B001031800

Cultural Interactions: Studies in the Relationship between the Arts
Interdisciplinary activity is now a major feature of academic work in all fields. The traditional borders between the arts have been eroded to reveal new connections and create new links between art forms. Cultural Interactions is intended to provide a forum for this activity. It will publish monographs, edited collections and volumes of primary material on points of crossover such as those between literature and the visual arts or photography and fiction, music and theatre, sculpture and historiography. It will engage with book illustration, the manipulation of typography as an art form, or the ‘double work’ of poetry and painting and will offer the opportunity to broaden the field into wider and less charted areas. It will deal with modes of representation that cross the physiological boundaries of sight, hearing and touch and examine the placing of these modes within their representative cultures. It will offer an opportunity to publish on the crosscurrents of nationality and the transformations brought about by foreign art forms impinging upon others. The interface between the arts knows no boundaries of time or geography, history or theory.

Studies in Life Writing
Biography, Autobiography, MemoirStudies in Life Writing: Biography, Autobiography, Memoir welcomes full-length studies of life writing in all its forms: biography, autobiography, memoir, journals, diaries, blogs, and so forth. Dovetailing nicely with the critical theories of the later twentieth century, life writing questions the divide between fact and fiction, challenges the possibility of presenting a life objectively, and examines how the shaping forces of language and memory prohibits any simple attempts at truth and reference. Provocatively, interest in life writing has increased as both autobiographical and biographical narratives have become a major presence on the Internet, and the growth of literary nonfiction has prompted a resurgence of life narratives and memoirs. The series invites both single-authored book-length studies and multi-authored essay collections on the theory and/or pedagogy of life writing.

Literature and the Visual Arts
New FoundationsOffering works of scholarship and criticism on the interrelationship of literature and the visual arts, the series reflects the rich diversity of subjects and approaches in this field. Our authors contribute to an expert's understanding of the topic. At the same time, they speak to readers, lay and professional, with a more general interest in the area. Ideally - and this is the thrust of the phrase «New Foundations» in our series title - works published under the imprint focus on the ways their particular concern leads us to rethink the basic questions of comparative study between the arts, challenging the reader volume by volume continually to remap the grounds, historical and theoretical, on which such inquiry can take place at all.

Writing and Culture in the Long Nineteenth Century
The long nineteenth century, extending from the Napoleonic Wars to the First World War, was a time of enormous change and experimentation. This series aims to publish the work of scholars and critics alert to these changes in a variety of spheres, including literature, art, the sciences, philosophy, and economics. The editors have a special interest in work that addresses questions of aesthetics, poetics, and form at the intersection between the written word, the visual and decorative arts, architecture, and music. Many scholars are now working on the cultural matrix out of which these forms emerge and recent critical thinking has shown how important was the prevailing economic, political, scientific, and philosophical climate in creating the appropriate conditions for artistic production. Some volumes in the series focus on specific writers and texts, while others consider the connection between writing, art, philosophy, and science and the broader cultural horizon. All contribute significantly to the widening sphere of nineteenth-century literary studies.
