Renaissance Studies announces a call for papers for a
special issue
devoted to Pacific travel. Articles are welcomed on any aspect of travel
to the region in the period, whether by English voyagers, Italian,
Portuguese, Spanish, French, or others. The aim of the issue is to
provide an interdisciplinary perspective on European activity in the Far
East, addressing a range of potential issues: ethnography, cultural
encounter and exchange; the rhetoric and representational practices of
travel writing; missionary work; Jesuit relations; natural history
(incuding medicines, spices, disease); trade and trade routes;
exploration, cartography, and geography. The issue as a
whole will
provide a comparative outlook on Renaissance experience, emphasising
specific motivations, rivalries, negotiations, and encounters. The time
frame may vary from the 13th to 17th centuries according to the countries
considered.
This special issue is linked with the journal Parergon which will also
publish a special number on the theme of Pacific travel. Submissions will
be considered for publication by both journals.
Completed papers or abstracts for further discussion should be submitted
to the guest editor:
Dr. Daniel Carey
Department of English
National University of Ireland, Galway
Galway
Ireland
e-mail: daniel.carey@nuigalway.ie
The deadline for submission of completed essays is March, 2000. The issue
of Renaissance Studies will appear in 2001.
