CFP: CULTURE-BOUND SYNDROMES IN POPULAR CULTURE


Culture-bound syndromes in Popular Culture


UPDATE: Deadline Extended 1 May 2022

We welcome chapter proposals on Native American cultural syndromes and their representations in popular culture. Please see the above call for chapters for more information. We are also open to suggestions regarding the table of contents and wish to include more culture-bound syndromes. Thank you. Apologies for crossposting.


Dear colleagues,

You are invited to submit an abstract for the upcoming edited collection Culture-bound syndromes in Popular Culture. The volume aims to provide in-depth and analytical insight into the representations of cultural imagery and narratives of various culture-bound syndromes through the lens of global and national popular culture, covering movies, television, literature, visual arts, fashion, festivals, popular music, and graphic novels.

What does a culture-bound syndrome mean? The concept has come to define a pattern of symptoms (mental, physical, and relational) experienced only by members of a specific cultural group and recognized as a disorder by members of those groups.

"Culture-bound Syndromes in Popular Culture" takes its readers on a journey across (popular) cultures and introduces them to an entirely new subfield of studies, at the conjunction of medical anthropology and popular culture, focusing on folk illnesses.

Thus, this book covers a broad range of case studies, subjects, texts, and cultural practices that lie at the intersection of folk illnesses and cultural studies and include national, transnational, and international media representations, with an accent on the reception and interpretation of the phenomenon from the perspective of its original space.

We warmly invite established and emerging scholars specializing in all areas of media and cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, social/cultural geography, and other relevant research fields to propose a book chapter on an individual culture-bound syndrome and its representations in popular culture. Both single and multiple-authored works will be considered. All work should be original and previously unpublished.

We are also very interested in hearing open proposals for possible chapters about other cultural syndromes from any other country if the Table of Contents strikes you as improvable in any way.

Please make sure to refer to a specific cultural syndrome (or more) in your abstract and title.

CFP: ASIAN STUDIES COLLECTION, SHORT BOOK MANUSCRIPTS

Asian Studies Collection, Short Book Manuscripts



Short book (100-150 pages) manuscripts are invited for the Asian Studies Collection, Lived Places Publishing, a new generation publishing based in New York and the U.K. This book series aims to increase our understanding of Asians in the world and the students of the world’s understanding of Asia. Our exploration of the people of Asia includes the Asian- and Indo-Pacific and the Asian Arctic regions. Books in the Asian Studies Collection will explore stories of people’s experiences in Asia through lived places, tangible and intangible, and a multitude of angles and perspective.

Past and present lives have always unfolded in places, be they physical or imagined. This book collection intends to root our knowledge of Asian politics, economies, societies, ethnicities, religions, military affairs, law, medicine, technologies, and cultures in the places where people live—not in the abstract “nonplace” of the Asian region or diaspora. Which meanings do we attach to the places we live? How do lived experiences within Asia change the way one looks at oneself and others? Do narratives and histories enchant places or do places enchant their inhabitants?

For futher details, visit the Asian Studies Collection page or here. If interested, please email your book proposals at commissioning@newgenpublishing.co.uk

If you are planning to attend the upcoming Association for Asian Studies annual conference in Honolulu, as the collection editor, I am available for in-person discussions there. Contact information can be found here.
