CFP: Al-Andalus and its Legacies (5/31/07; journal issue)

*AL-ANDALUS AND ITS LEGACIES. **Comparative Literature Studies *invites
submissions for a special issue guest-edited by Esperanza Alfonso
(Universidad Complutense-Madrid) and Ross Brann (Cornell University). In the
region of Iberia that was under Islamic control from the eighth to the
thirteenth century, Hebrew and Romance literatures burgeoned alongside
Arabic and created the distinctive hybrid culture invoked in the name *
al-Andalus*. *CLS *seeks papers that explore literary interactions and
influences between cultures and languages in the aforementioned period,
papers that reveal the legacy of this hybrid culture for later literary
production, or those that critique later representations of *al-Andalus* in
literary or historical texts. Papers should follow the Chicago Manual of
Style, contain a minimum of 6,000 words, and be comparative in nature.
Please send submissions to *Comparative Literature Studies*, Dept. of
Comparative Literature, 311 Burrowes Building, Penn State University,
University Park, PA 16802, or electronically to cl-studies_at_psu.edu. The
submissions deadline for this issue is May 31, 2007 and the issue is
scheduled to appear in spring of 2008.
