General Call for Papers<\/strong> <\/span>
For the general section of its ninth issue, aspeers<\/strong><\/em> seeks outstanding academic writing demonstrating the excellence of graduate scholarship, the range of concerns scrutinized in the field, and the diversity of perspectives employed. We thus explicitly invite revised versions of term papers or chapters from theses written by students of European Master (and equivalent) programs. For this section, there are no topical limitations. Contributions should be up to 10,000 words (including abstract and list of works cited). The submission deadline is 18 October 2015<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Topical Call for Papers on “American Youth”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For its ninth issue, aspeers thus dedicates the topical section to “American Youth” and invites European graduate students to critically and analytically explore the particular relationship between notions of youth and American culture. With a host of disciplines–ranging from political science and history to medicine, legal studies, literary and cultural studies, economy, and beyond–devoting scholarship to this topic, we welcome papers from the various fields, methodologies, and approaches that comprise American studies as well as inter- and transdisciplinary submissions. Potential paper topics could cover (but are not limited to):\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

* explorations of the role of youth, childhood, or adolescence in American literature, broadly conceived, including movies, novels, video games, TV shows, graphic novels, or other texts that talk about coming of age<\/span>
* discussions of the cultural history of childhood, of notions of youth, or of growing up as they intersect with categories of difference such as race, class, or gender<\/span>
* analyses of the politics of childhood, be they contemporary or historical, and on how these speak of social dynamics within American society\u00a0 <\/span>
* papers that approach youth via its complementary ‘other,’ (old) age<\/span>
