ABC: The Academic Anglophone Society Journal

We are pleased to announce that the deadline for submissions of contributions to ABC, the journal of the Academic Anglophone Society of Romania, has been extended to May 15. This forthcoming issue is a jubilee edition marking ten years of publishing existence. To celebrate this exciting occasion of ABC’s 10^th anniversary, we invite provocative submissions, in the form of articles, creative-critical essays, interviews, book reviews, conference presentations and research projects descriptions that seek to take Anglophone studies to a new level of enquiry across disciplinary boundaries.

The jubilee is an occasion to draw a line and consider developments, continuities and new departures. Aiming to feature a wider selection of new writing in English, in our future issues, we expect to place stronger emphasis on unconventional insights into the practice and theory of Creative Writing. It gives us great pleasure to preview ABC’s new feature, the academic diary, meant to record impressions of and reflections on the cultures of the academia as experienced by the visiting lecturer and global conference goer.

ABC is an international, peer-reviewed journal that seeks to explore cross-disciplinary developments in Anglophone Studies in the changing environment forged by digital media, advanced technologies and global knowledge. Our primary goal is to contribute fresh angles to the academic subject of English by promoting shape-changing research across conventional boundaries. As well as providing innovative approaches to influential crosscurrents in current thinking, the journal sets out to connect work by scholars conducting advanced research in the theoretical humanities. Within the proposed range of diversity, our major scope is to provide close examinations and lucid analyses of the role and future of the academic institutions at the cutting edge of high-tech. With its wide subject range, ABC aims to become one of the premium electronic journals resources of Romanian academia. With this end in view, we especially invite contributions in the fields of Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies, Postcolonial Theory, Social and Political Science, Cultural Anthropology, Area Studies, Multimedia and Digital Arts.

Guidelines for Contributors:

ABC seeks quality submissions of work in the entire spectrum of the humanities. The review process is blind: articles are sent out to subject specialists for reviewing anonymously and we leave it up to the reviewers to choose whether or not to reveal themselves to you. You are strongly encouraged to submit exciting and broad-ranging original articles that have not been published elsewhere, nor are currently under review in any other refereed journal. We regret we are unable to accept multiple submissions. You may submit papers that have been presented in conferences only if the papers have been thoroughly revised or extended to engage a theme that fits the ABC profile. A chief objective of the journal is to minimise the time for paper processing and to expedite printing; therefore, electronic submission of papers in final form is strongly recommended. Please email your contribution to abc.journal@ulbsibiu.ro before the closing date. Alternatively, manuscripts should be sent in triplicate to the Editorial Office (see address below) as hard copy and on CD Rom. Submit three copies of your double-spaced, single-sided manuscript, along with the originals of illustrations, drawings, and tables. The first page of the manuscript should carry the title, names of authors, institutional affiliations, a brief but detailed 200-word abstract, and ten key words/concepts. The normal word-limit for articles is 7500 words including notes. Please include a brief 200-word biography for our Notes on Contributors along with contact information. Only the materials styled according to the latest (6^th) edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers will be considered for publication. For detailed instructions for preparing your contribution and a sense of format, topics of interest to us and targeted audience, you may wish to consult the journal's previous issues and style files at http://abcjournal.ulbsibiu.ro. Contributions can include articles, in-depth interviews with both established and emerging thinkers and writers, notes on groundbreaking research, reviews of recently published fiction and reference works. Tables of contents and sample full text articles can be viewed without a subscription and our search feature is publicly available. Please email us if you have any queries. Questions about content should be directed to adriananeagu@lett.ubbcluj.ro.

CALL FOR PAPERS: INTERNATIONAL ANGLOPHONE THEATRE

The Academic Anglophone Society of Romania invites contributions for a forthcoming Special Issue of its periodical ABC on the topic of "International Anglophone Theatre."

The contemporary world theatrical canon includes many examples of Anglophone playwriting by playwrights with connections beyond Anglophone countries; and of non-Anglophone texts in English translation and adaptation. Recent examples include Rock’n’Roll, the epic examination of twentieth-century Czech history by Czech-British playwright Sir Tom Stoppard, directed, in Romanian translation, by Andrei Serban; the international hit Waxing West, a play in English by New York-based Romanian playwright Saviana Stanescu; the current Broadway revival of British playwright Christopher Hampton’s Les Liaisons Dangereuses, adapted from the French novel by Choderlos de Laclos; and Nigerian-British playwright Biyi Bandele-Thomas’s Oronooko, adapted from the novel by Aphra Behn.

How do these cross-currents between languages, cultures, and theatrical and literary decisions expand the canon of Anglophone drama? What traditions or concerns presently exist in "Anglophone" theatre, distinct from the theatrical traditions of specific Anglophone countries or cities? How does movement between different languages, perspectives, and audiences change the adapted, translated, or produced text? And to which contemporary international Anglophone playwrights, translators, and theatre companies should the world theatre community pay closer attention? These are a few of the questions that the Special Issue in Anglophone European Theatre may consider. 

We seek:

• Research articles
• Theatre and Performance reviews
• Script extracts from original plays by European authors, in English or in English translation
• Interviews with theatre practitioners and/or theorists

… relevant to the following topics:

• Anglophone playwrights – contemporary and earlier - in an international context
• Plays in English translation
• English-Language plays in translation
• Cross-currents in Anglophone and non-Anglophone theatre

Please ELECTRONICALLY submit articles, interviews, and script extracts, by 1 September 2008, to:

Lecturer in Creative Writing
Humanities, University of Gloucestershire
