Editorial Statements
FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS • www.fordhampress.comHelen Tartar, Editorial Director
In its scholarly publications, Fordham University Press focuses on the intersections between philosophy, religion, and aesthetic productions. Its list in literature emphasizes interdisciplinary work and work potentially of interest across fields or across languages.
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA PRESS • www.ucpress.eduRichard Terdiman, Coordinator, FlashPoints Editorial Group
The FlashPoints Series in Literary Studies seeks to publish books that consider literature beyond strictly national and disciplinary frameworks, distinguished by both their historical grounding and their theoretical and conceptual strength. The series is interested in how literature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present.
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PRESS • www.upenn.edu/pennpressJerome Singerman, Senior Editor
The University of Pennsylvania Press has long-established lists in interdisciplinary and comparative literary studies, from the medieval to the modern; its Material Texts series, in particular, explores cultural technologies of communication—books, manuscripts, scrolls, films, graffiti, the actor’s voice—with particular attention to the ways that the specific material forms in which linguistic communications are cast affect their meaning.
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA PRESS • www.upress.virginia.eduCathie Brettschneider, Humanities Editor
As the publisher of a translation series in francophone literature from the Caribbean and Africa, Virginia occasionally takes on studies of these literatures that demand knowledge of French. Similarly, the Press also publishes Caribbean cultural studies that often demand knowledge of the multiple languages in that region—not only French but also Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS • www.washington.edu/uwpressLorri Hagman, Executive Editor
The University of Washington Press’s publications in literary studies cover a range of world literatures studied from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. The Literary Conjugations series investigates literary artifacts in their cultural and historical environments to highlight the interdisciplinary character of literary studies and explore how literary production extends into, influences, and refracts multiple domains of intellectual and cultural life. The Press is also particularly interested in studies of Asian and especially Chinese literatures, as well as Scandinavian and Middle Eastern literatures.
