Description
Kerstin Stamm and Patrick Stoffel, art historian and literary theorist, respectively, are editing “Europe: A Case Study!” which will be published by Christian A. Bachmann to study Europe critically in every aspect. They are requesting submission of related articles by 1 November 2013.
The early modern genre of the case study is based on negative deviations: no medicine without disease, no law without crime. This leads to the genre’s constitutive double semantics of the “case”: The downfall of a man is the requirement to make him the subject of a representation of the event – to make him a case. Looking at the overflowing literature on Europe it quickly becomes clear: Europe is a case of a case study! Lack of myths, democratic gap, Euro-crisis – Europe appears to exist only as a “case”.
Eligibility
Across all scientific disciplines, the editors call for contributions wanting to take charge of this European case, to study it critically in every aspect. Papers that stimulate understanding the present and re-visioning the future of the case of Europe are most welcome.
Deadline: 1 November 2013
