\n\n\n\n
\n

Monstrophy: The Academic Study of Monsters\u00a0\u201dMonstrophy\u201d is a term referring to the academic study of monsters as representational and conceptual categories, which has gained recent currency in several related fields of study (literary and cultural history, sociological theories of identity and difference, et al.), as well as in a number of recent books and articles about monsters as subjects of theoretical interpretation. Etymologically derived from Latin \u201dm\u014dnstrum\u201d (meaning prodigy, ominous sign, monstrous creature or person, abomination) and Greek \u201dsophia\u201d (\u03c3\u03bf\u03c6\u03af\u03b1, wisdom), hybrid compounding of monstrophy is not uncommon in disciplinary names, e.g. [[sociology]], another Greek and Latin compound.) Monstrophy literally means \u201cwisdom about monsters,\u201d and in academic usage refers to the broader study of monsters in society and history\u2026Contributions are welcome from any discipline, time period, or geographic provenance, so long as the discussion highlights the cultural, literary, religious, or historical significance of the topic.\u00a0Contributions should be roughly 8,000 \u2013 12,000 words (with the possibility of longer submissions in exceptional cases), including all documentation and critical apparatus. If accepted for publication, manuscripts will be required to adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition (style 1, employing footnotes)\u2026Submissions are made online at: <www.preternature.org<\/a>>.\u00a0Final Papers are due February 15, 2012\u00a0Queries about submissions, queries concerning books to be reviewed, or requests to review individual titles may be made to the Editor:\u00a0Kirsten C.
