CFP: Boardwalk Empire and Philosophy

Richard Greene & Rachel Robison-Greene, Editors

Abstracts are sought for a collection of philosophical essays related to the HBO television series Boardwalk Empire. This volume will be published by Open Court Publishing (the publisher of The Simpsons and Philosophy, The Matrix and Philosophy, The Golden Compass and Philosophy and The Undead and Philosophy, etc.) as part of their successful Popular Culture and Philosophy series. We are seeking abstracts, but anyone who has already written an unpublished paper on this topic may submit it in its entirety. Potential contributors may want to examine other volumes in the Open Court series.

Contributors are welcome to submit abstracts on any topic of philosophical interest that pertains to Boardwalk Empire (including the historical events on which the television program is based). The editors are especially interested in receiving submissions that engage philosophical issues/topics/concepts in Boardwalk Empire in creative and non-standard ways.

Contributor Guidelines:

1. Abstract of paper (100–750 words)
2. Resume/CV for each author/coauthor of the paper
3. Initial submission may be by mail or email (we prefer e-mail with MS Word attachment)
4. Submission deadline: June 1, 2012
