CFP: Berghahn Series “New Directions in the Study of Everyday Life, Past and Present”

Although distinct in their historical formations, the fields of (European) ethnology and folklore studies share a central concern with the contemporary cultural and historical study of everyday life. Co-editors Hande Birkalan-Gedik and Anthony Bak Buccitelli are pleased to announce the creation of New Directions in the Study of Everyday Life, Past and Present—a new series with Berghahn Books that will publish works from both fields focused on the study of everyday life past and present.

Supported by an international editorial board comprised of ethnologists and folklorists at leading institutions around the world, this peer-reviewed series will focus on publishing monographs and coherently edited volumes. The series aims to either push the intellectual and/or ethnographic boundaries in the contemporary or historical study of the everyday broadly defined or addresses everyday issues of pressing concern around the world.

For further information regarding the series, please contact the editors by email (see below). To submit a proposal, please send it directly to the publisher at editorialus@berghahnbooks.com.
