DESCRIPTION:<p>CFP: (Chapter Abstracts) German Romantic Humour (Aug. 1\, 2025)</p>\n<p>Call for Chapter Abstracts</p>\n<p>Due: August 1\, 2025</p>\n<p>Subject fields: German Romanticism\, Humour Studies\, Philosophy\, Literature Studies\, Musicology\, Art History\, History of Religion</p>\n<p>This is a call for abstracts for book chapters to be included in an edited volume on &ldquo\;German Romantic Humour&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>Edited by Dr. Pascale LaFountain (Montclair State University\, USA)</p>\n<p>From anecdote to satire\, parody to comic mockery\, German Romantic creators use humour as a uniquely productive way to critique\, rebel\, entertain\, play\, and resist. German Romanticism would not be what it was without humour\, and conversely\, today&rsquo\;s humour landscape would not be what it is without the exceptional contributions of German Romantic humour.</p>\n<p>The book &ldquo\;German Romantic Humour&rdquo\; will provide practical considerations of humour across various textual genres\, artistic representations\, musical materials\, philosophical perspectives\, and other manifestations. By exploring a wide spectrum of humour\, <em>German Romantic Humour</em> will suggest a more subtle understanding of the concept of humour in German Romanticism and beyond.</p>\n<p>The editor is looking for scholars of German Romanticism in various fields to contribute to a book considering humour as a fundamental element in German Romantic creative production. Each chapter will begin by engaging with a particular genre or aspect of Romanticism before providing a case study of how a specific work has contributed to the production\, performance\, or consideration of humour across various means.</p>\n<p>Abstracts will be considered from literary and performance studies\, art history\, musicology\, philosophy\, religious studies\, etc. Comparative and interdisciplinary approaches welcome.</p>\n<p><strong>Publication plans:</strong></p>\n<p>-&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The concept for this book has already been accepted for the series &ldquo\;Humour in Literature and Culture&rdquo\; published by Routledge Press.</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Abstract submission deadline &ndash\; August 1\, 2025.</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Abstracts are subject to review by editors and accepted versions will be included in a full proposal to go to the editors and publishers in September 2025.</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; After approval\, authors will be asked to provide 8\,000-word articles (including footnotes and works cited) to be submitted for review by May 1\, 2026\, with peer review process to follow and target publication in 2027.</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Plans for a Fall 2026 German Studies Association panel or seminar are also in the works.</p>\n<p>If interested\, please email a 250-500-word abstract (with a brief CV) to Dr. Pascale LaFountain (Montclair State University\, USA) atlafountainp@montclair.eduby August 1\, 2025.</p>
