Dear VICTORIA,
The Australasian Journal of Victorian Studies
(AJVS) invites submissions for a special
edition on neo-Victorianism to be published in
September 2013. AJVS
is a fully refereed journal published by the
Australasian Victorian Studies Association, with
articles covering topics as diverse as archaeology,
architecture, art, economics, history, literature,
medicine, philosophy, print culture, psychology,
science, sociology and theatre appearing in its
pages.
The past decade has seen increasing scholarly interest
in what Marie-Luise Kohlke, editor of
Neo-Victorian Studies, calls "the afterlife of
the nineteenth century in the cultural imaginary".
This edition aims to contribute to the growing
interdisciplinary dialogue about the ways in which the
Victorian period is re-imagined in contemporary
culture. The guest editor invites research papers on
any aspect of the neo-Victorian, including, but not
limited to:
- Neo-Victorian literature, popular fiction, graphic novels and comic books;
- Film, television and dramatic adaptations of Victorian literature;
- Steampunk fiction, art and fashion;
- Neo-Victorianism and cultural conservatism;
- Neo-Victorianism and its significance for Victorian Studies;
- Nostalgia and remembering;
- Gender, sexuality and class politics and neo-Victorianism.
Papers of no more than 7,000 words in length should
be emailed as a Word document with an accompanying
abstract of approximately 200 words to Dr Michelle
Smith,
msm...@unimelb.edu.au by
1 April 2013.
Author guidelines for AJVS are available at
the journal website: http://www.nla.gov.au/openpublish/index.php/AJVS/about/submissions#authorGuidelines
Best wishes,
Michelle
