The InterDISCIPLINARY Journal of Portuguese Diaspora Studies
(IJPDS) is an online, as well as printed, peer-reviewed academic
journal, to be published annually, and in affiliation with Anderson
University, Indiana. The first volume of the journal is scheduled for
fall 2012. The editors of the IJPDS welcome contributions from
scholars in the humanities and social sciences, as well as writers and
poets working in areas of the Portuguese diaspora within a transnational
sense of community and self. We are particularly interested in
proposals from a wide array of scholarly proveniences, approaches and
perspectives that embrace a construct of Portuguese diaspora identity
whose discourses and ideas travel across time and space. Under the
rubric of ‘diaspora’ we also encourage papers that engage in the
exploration of the Portuguese diaspora in a comparative and global
context. Papers for this volume may focus on a wide range of
topics related to the Portuguese diaspora, including, but not limited
to: return migration and deportation; emergence of transnational
communities; processes of integration into host societies; ethnic
entrepreneurship; reproduction of ancestral cultural contexts; diaspora
and linguistic practices; education; identity and diaspora discourse;
diaspora in literature, the arts, and the media. Creative work in the
form of poetry and short stories will also be considered for
publication. IJPDS accepts papers on an ongoing basis, however
prospective contributors for the first issue of the journal are invited
to submit papers in final form by April 30th, 2012. For submission guidelines follow instructions here. The InterDISCIPLINARY Journal of Portuguese Diaspora Studies
(IJPDS) aims to provide a multidisciplinary, intercontinental, and
polyphonic forum, which will permit dialogue among Portuguese and
non-Portuguese scholars involved in research and creative work related
to the Portuguese diaspora throughout the world. The journal publishes
original research, evaluation studies, case reports, review articles,
and book reviews. We also accept narratives representative of the
Portuguese diaspora and whose message is conveyed in visual texts
(photography), and/or creative/fictional writing (such as poetry and
short stories). The works to be submitted may be written in English,
Portuguese, Spanish, or French. Dr. Dulce Maria Scott, Anderson University, IN, USA dmscott@anderson.edu Dr. Irene Maria F. Blayer, Brock University, ONT, CANADA iblayer@brocku.ca Dr. José Carlos Teixeira, University of British Columbia, BC, CANADA carlos.teixeira@ubc.ca |
