Sheila Bock and Elo-Hanna Seljamaa Appointed Co-Editors of Narrative Culture

Folklorists Sheila Bock and Elo-Hanna Seljamaa are newly appointed as co-editors of Narrative Culture, a journal that seeks to offer a platform that integrates approaches spread across numerous disciplines. Bock and Seljamaa are thrilled to announce the publication of Volume 11, Issue 1 of the journal, which focuses on “Continuities, Shifts and Narrative Temporalities” with five contributions exploring how time is performed, bent and embodied, materialized and felt in a range of narrative forms and contexts.

Building on the strong work of Regina Bendix, Ulrich Marzolph, and Francisco Vaz da Silvaone, the future priority of the editorial team is to expand the geographic and disciplinary scope of the journal. Narrative Culture welcomes submissions of individual articles or proposals for special issues, and encourages potential authors to email Sheila Bock (sheila.bock@unlv.edu) and Elo-Hanna Seljamaa (elo-hanna.seljamaa@ut.ee) with further submission ideas and any questions they may have.
