Ralahine Utopian Studies

Ralahine Utopian Studies is the publishing project of the Ralahine Centre for Utopian Studies at the University of Limerick, in association with colleagues at the University of Bologna, the University of Cyprus, the University of Florida and the University of Maine. The series publishes high-quality scholarship that addresses the theory and practice of utopianism (including Anglophone, continental European and indigenous and postcolonial traditions, and contemporary and historical periods). Publications (in English and other European languages) include original monographs and essay collections (including theoretical, textual and ethnographic/institutional research), English-language translations of utopian scholarship in other national languages, reissues of classic scholarly works that are out of print and annotated editions of original utopian literary and other texts (including translations). While the editors seek work that engages with the current scholarship and debates in the field of utopian studies, they will not privilege any particular critical or theoretical orientation. They wel­come submissions by established or emerging scholars working within or outside the academy. Given the multi-lingual and inter-disciplinary remit of the series, they especially welcome comparative studies in any disciplinary or trans-disciplinary framework. Those interested in contributing to the series are invited to submit a detailed project outline to the Managing Editor of the series, Dr Michael G. Kelly in the School of Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics, University of Limerick (email: michael.g.kelly-at-ul.ie). Miscellaneous enquiries regarding the series can be sent to our editor at Peter Lang: Christabel Scaife (email: c.scaife-at-peterlang.com).
