<div>Dear colleagues: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We invite article contributions for inclusion in the thematic special issue of
<i>Renaissance Studies</i>, “Diasporas of Sefarad and al-Andalus: Iberian Questions beyond Iberia.”</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- What do we mean when we talk about the Sephardic and Andalusi diasporas?</div>
<div>- What social or political projects did the cultural productions of members of these diasporas seek to advance (or counter)?</div>
<div>- 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?</div>
<div>- What are the dynamics and creative possibilities of the use of Spanish and Portuguese alongside other languages in multilingual environments?</div>
<div>- What does the cultural imprint of Sephardic and Andalusi individuals in the diaspora reveal about continued connections or ruptures with Iberia? </div>
<div>- 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? </div>
<div>- How do diasporic cultural productions push us to re-think traditional concepts, histories, or boundaries of early modernity?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Details: </div>
<div><br>
