The Centennial Campaign for Scandinavian Studies

As we approach the centenary of the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study, we have many reasons to celebrate the accomplishments of our scholarly society. However, Scandinavian Studies has not been untouched by the economic challenges facing academic publishing in recent years. The Centennial Campaign seeks to assure the future availability of similar academic opportunities for a new generation of scholars. It will be necessary to assemble a combination of gifts from major donors, matching grants from national agencies, and special donations from the SASS membership itself.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline: 15 December, 2010

Contemporary cultural expression can perhaps more than ever before be
characterized as transaesthetic phenomena. Western media culture, modern
technology and the processes of globalization have caused an increase in the
occurrence of transmedial and multimodal hybrids, the blending of public and
private spheres, and have undermined the traditional academic boundaries
between the arts. The relational, digital and performative nature of much
contemporary literary expression poses theoretical and methodological
challenges to the study of literature and calls for an increased dialogue between
scholars affiliated with various academic fields.
