ABC Journal is now accepting submissions for its
December 2010 issue, an open-theme edition featuring our
usual selection of critical-creative multidisciplinary work.
We invite provocative contributions in the form of articles,
essays, interviews, book reviews, conference presentations
and project outlines that seek to take Anglophone studies to
a new level of enquiry across disciplinary boundaries.
In our upcoming issue, we aim to feature a wider
selection of new writing in English and place stronger
emphasis on unconventional insights into the practice and
theory of Creative Writing. ABC’s new feature, the
academic diary, presenting reflections on the cultures of
the academia as experienced by the visiting lecturer and the
global conference goer offers an alternative genre for the
distilling and recording of developments of the subject.
American, British and Canadian Studies appears biannually in June
and December. It is a peer-reviewed journal that sets out to
explore the intersections of culture, technology and the
human sciences in the age of electronic information. It
publishes work by scholars of any nationality on Anglophone
Studies, Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies,
Postcolonial Theory, Social and Political Science,
Anthropology, Area Studies, Multimedia and Digital Arts and
related subjects. Articles addressing influential
crosscurrents in current academic thinking are particularly
welcomed. ABC also
publishes book reviews and review essays, interviews,
work-in-progress, conference reports, research projects
outlines, notes and comments, and, annually, a list of
theses on topics related to Anglophone Studies completed at
Romanian Universities. To maintain an ongoing dialogue with
our readers, we alternate commissioned themed issues, where
papers are actively commissioned by the special issue
editor, with issues featuring unsolicited submissions that
address themes of immediate interest to us.
Decisions on articles submitted are normally made within two
months and accepted contributions published within three
months. Calls for papers inviting submissions to the
non-commissioned issues are announced via the journal's web
pages and in the journal itself. Our primary goal is to
bring together in trans-cultural dialogue scholars
conducting advanced research in the theoretical humanities.
As well as offering innovative approaches to influential
crosscurrents in current thinking, the journal seeks to
contribute fresh angles to the academic subject of English
and promote groundbreaking research across conventional
boundaries. 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. To respond to the
increasing demands of ‘acceleration’ in the twenty-first
century, an electronic edition of the journal is now being
made available, offering full access to subscribers, and
free access to the tables of contents, abstracts and reviews
to non-subscribers. Articles published in
ABC are abstracted
and indexed on the journal’s website. Detailed guidelines
for submission are given on the journal’s website
http://abcjournal.ulbsibiu.ro/.
Contributions can include: articles, in-depth interviews
with both established and emerging thinkers and writers,
notes on groundbreaking research, and reviews of recently
published fiction and critical works. Tables of contents and
sample full text articles can be viewed without a
subscription and our search feature is publicly available.
Deadlines for Submissions:
ABC is published
biannually in December and June. The deadlines for
submission of contributions are September
15
for the winter edition (expected publication:
December 15) and
March 15 for the
summer edition (expected publication:
June 15).
