Subject: Call for articles on Morisco and Sephardic Diasporas (26th May)
To: <HISPANISTS at jiscmail.ac.uk>


Dear colleagues:

We invite article contributions for inclusion in the thematic special issue
of *Renaissance Studies*, “Diasporas of Sefarad and al-Andalus: Iberian
Questions beyond Iberia.”

The special issue brings together a collection of articles on the
intellectual and cultural life of the early modern Sephardic and
Andalusi/morisco diasporas. One of its aims is to explore the challenges,
advantages, and potential shortcomings of comparative frames for research
on these two Iberian diasporas. We are interested in article-length studies
that engage with one or more of the following questions:

-       What do we mean when we talk about the Sephardic and Andalusi
diasporas?
-       What social or political projects did the cultural productions of
members of these diasporas seek to advance (or counter)?
-       How do diasporic cultural productions speak to broader questions of
migration or cosmopolitanism, in particular in relation to philological
practices of compiling, reading and commentating across languages, cultures
and religious traditions?
-       What are the dynamics and creative possibilities of the use of
Spanish and Portuguese alongside other languages in multilingual
environments?
-       What does the cultural imprint of Sephardic and Andalusi
individuals in the diaspora reveal about continued connections or ruptures
with Iberia?
-       To what extent do shared languages and cultural contexts allow for
cross-community and cross-confessional interactions or network formation
within and beyond the diaspora?
-       How do diasporic cultural productions push us to re-think
traditional concepts, histories, or boundaries of early modernity?

In consideration of balance across the special issue, we may prioritize
contributions that focus on the Andalusi/morisco diaspora or which take up
both diasporic communities is a directly comparative way, though we also
welcome contributions that focus on the Sephardic diaspora.

Details:

*Renaissance Studies *uses English as its language of publication. In
addition to submissions in English, we will consider contributions in
Spanish with the understanding that the contributing author would work with
the co-editors (and translator) in the preparation of an English-language
version for publication.

Final articles may be between 7,000 and 9,000 words, excluding
bibliography.

All articles will go through double-blind peer-review.

For consideration for inclusion, please submit the following by Monday, May
26, 2025 to imogen.choi at mod-langs.ox.ac.uk and
erica.feild-marchello at exeter.ox.ac.uk:

-        Contributor’s full name, affiliation, and email address
-        Article title (provisional title is ok)
-        Abstract of approximately 200 words outlining the proposed
article’s main argument and its connection with the central questions of
the special issue (outlined above)
-         CV

Final drafts of articles (ready for submission for peer-review) will be due
Monday, July 21, 2025.

With best wishes,

Imogen Choi and Erica Feild-Marchello
