Valerie Estelle Frankel shared this via RelCFP<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Hello, everyone. I\u2019m editing a series with Rowman & Littlefield\/Lexington on a line of academic books critically analyzing elements of\u00a0Jewish science fiction and fantasy<\/strong>\u00a0(that\u2019s the series title).\u00a0As such, I\u2019d love some authors with concepts to write about.<\/p>\n

At this stage, a paragraph-long proposal emailed to\u00a0valerie@calithwain.com<\/a>\u00a0with a subject of JEWISH SPEC-FIC would be great. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n

The Secret Jewish Roots of Star Wars (or some other top franchise)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Batwoman to Felicity: Jewish Characters in the Arrowverse<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rewriting the Narrative: Jewish Fairytale Novels<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jewish Alt-History<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kabbalah in Pop Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n

Israeli Dystopian Cinema<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Jewish Outsider as Werewolf<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jewish-Flavored Filk<\/strong><\/p>\n

Halacha in Space<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pop Culture Haggadahs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Revising the Big Franchises through Jewish Fanfic<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Works of _______.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking for topics that haven\u2019t been done to death, so Jews and Comics seems a little too obvious, but most other topics are open. Along with all the subgenres, writing about any mediums (novels, short stories cartoons, webcomics, fanfic, films) and works from any countries\/cultures are acceptable. As the examples show, you might go big or small, including a single franchise, author, issue, or genre. Treatment of Jews in science fiction (including by non-Jewish authors) would be acceptable as would something on fandom, current or historical. Interdisciplinary\/film criticism\/literary criticism\/fan studies\/minority studies are all welcome. Anthologies are also possible.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also seeking essays for several anthologies that will go in the series. At this point, I don\u2019t have firm topics planned (I might do Jewish representation in SF and F and A Jewish Author\u2019s Perspective, for instance), but you\u2019re welcome to send abstracts and specify that they\u2019re for essay length projects.<\/p>\n

Due date: Both proposals and final project deadlines are quite flexible at this point, as I already have a few years of material, but much more is welcome.<\/p>\n

Questions at\u00a0valerie@calithwain.com<\/a>\u00a0are also welcome.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
