Transatlantic Encounters: Representations of East Central Europe after
Communism in Literature and the Media

We are searching submissions for a book project tentatively entitled
"Transatlantic Encounters: Representations of East Central Europe after
Communism in Literature and the Media." This edited collection of articles
would like to consider the literary and media productions that reflect and
analyze the consequences of the explosive interaction between the
reminenscens of communist ideological mindset and the demands of the
incipient capitalist economy in former communist European countries from a
double perspective: American and East Central European.

        The editorial board of Etudes Irlandaises is now seeking
submissions for volume 32.2 to be published in Autumn 2007.

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS ON "THE NEW IRISH"

Over the past decade, Ireland has been significantly transformed by
social, economic and cultural developments. This upcoming issue of
Etudes Irlandaises will attempt to define, analyse and evaluate these
changes from a resolutely contemporary perspective, focusing on the
men, women and children who are the actors and products of these
changes and who embody them - or distinguish themselves from them -
in their perceptions and representations.

Suggested topics might include but are not limited to :
