From: Karina Marie Ash <[log in to unmask]> Subject: CFP Medieval Grad Student Journal Hortulus The Online Graduate Journal of Medieval Studies C A L L F O R P A P E R S Hortulus is a refereed journal devoted to the literatures and cultures of the medieval world. Published electronically once a year, its mission is to present a forum in which graduate students from around the globe may share their ideas. We are currently running a contest for contributions for our next issue, which will be devoted to the topic of HYBRIDITY The idea of hybridity is necessarily complex. Recent discussions have tended to address it in terms of identity and identity formation, but it may be extended to many other areas, including: Nationality and nationalism Culture, cultural motifs, and cultural practices Religion and religious syncretism Language(s) . The body . Literary hybrid genres Conversion . Borrowed histories Gender play . Translation The paper that in the opinion of our editorial board best addresses the theme will earn its author a cash prize of $250; the author of one runner-up paper will receive $100. All submissions should abide by The Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition) guidelines for the writing of research papers. For further guidelines and more information, please visit www.hortulus.net. Papers should be sent electronically to [log in to unmask] All submissions due October 15, 2005. ******************* The German Studies Call for Papers List Editor: Stefani Engelstein Assistant Editor: Megan McKinstry Sponsored by the University of Missouri Info available at: http://www.missouri.edu/~graswww/resources/gerlistserv.html
