The
editors of
Aphra Behn Online
welcome scholarly and pedagogical articles,
new media applications, and reviews for consideration. We
accept only unpublished, original material.
Volume 2 Theme: Our second volume will feature essays on the question of open access. Issues of accessibility have come to the fore with the advancement of technology in the past two decades, issues that resonate widely across fields and periods. Essays might consider various types of access (physical, gendered, racial, able-bodied, or class-based), various points of access (to power, to audiences, to voices, to technologies), or the implications of such access (what does it mean for a woman’s body to be accessible? for women’s writing?). How do we make the eighteenth century accessible to today's students in today's classrooms, in today's world? How do we make eighteenth-century women accessible? Scholarly Article Submission Guidelines:• Content: Submissions to Volume 2 should adhere to the theme of "open access." • Format: MS Word electronic submissions may be e-mailed to Kirsten Saxton at scholarship.journal@aphrabehn.org. • Length: Articles should be between 4000-7000 words. • Style: Articles should be formatted according to the most recent edition of the Modern Language Association Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing, using double-spacing, parenthetical citations, and explanatory endnotes. Pedagogy Article Submission Guidelines: • Content: The journal provides a space for an ongoing conversation about the practices and issues of teaching our subjects. Pedagogy articles should be concerned with the classroom experience of teaching women in the arts from 1660-1830. We encourage collaborative and innovative forms of discourse on teaching. Essays can be experimental, practical, methodological, theoretical, and/or exploratory. Submissions to Volume 2 should adhere to the theme of "open access." • Format: MS Word electronic submissions may be e-mailed to Laura Runge at pedagogy.journal@aphrabehn.org. Attachments of handouts or teaching supplements are welcome. All work must be original or be accompanied by proper permissions for use. • Length: Shorter pieces on successful assignments or syllabi as well as longer essays on broader subjects are welcome (4000-8000 words). • Style: Articles should be formatted according to the most recent edition of the Modern Language Association Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing, using double-spacing, parenthetical citations, and explanatory endnotes. New Media / Women on the Web Submission Guidelines: • Content: The emergence of a rich and energetic presence of women on the World Wide Web has engendered new possibilities for research on women’s worlds before 1830. How have digital archives like the Perdita Project, the Brown Women Writers Project, and the Orlando Project transformed the face of scholarship? Do trends in digital humanities have sophisticated enough methodologies for understanding and reconceptualizing technologies of gender? The journal solicits articles that provide practical, theoretical, and critical ways of engaging with new media. Articles may address women’s presence (and absences) in new media, and they should encourage new ways of looking at texts connected to women and the arts from 1640-1830. Submissions to Volume 2 should adhere to the theme of "open access." • Format: Multimedia submissions may be e-mailed to newmedia.journal@aphrabehn.org.
