Call for Submissions: In geveb, a Journal of Yiddish Studies

We are proud to announce In geveb, a new online journal of Yiddish Studies.
In geveb
is an open-access digital forum for the publication of peer-reviewed
academic articles, the translation and annotation of Yiddish texts, the
presentation of digitized archival documents, the exchange of
pedagogical materials, and a blog of Yiddish cultural life.

In geveb  aims to be a central address for the study of all things Yiddish
– the
focal point for discussions of Yiddish literature, language, and
culture, and the home for the next generation of Yiddish scholarship. In
geveb
will catalyze and renew dialogue between scholars around the world
about Yiddish culture, weaving together the voices and texts of
Yiddish’s past, present, and future.

In geveb invites submissions in the four following categories: original
manuscripts of academic articles, translations of Yiddish texts,
pedagogical materials, and posts for the In geveb blog. In geveb is
both an academic journal and a platform for making Yiddish Studies
accessible to wider audiences. The journal will be published in English.

The goal of In geveb’s Academic Journal
is to provide an open-access, peer-reviewed platform for the publication
of new scholarship in the field of Yiddish Studies. This
interdisciplinary field includes scholarly work produced across a
variety of fields, including but not limited to: history, literature,
linguistics, folklore, media studies, religion, sociology, political
science, musicology, and anthropology. We are especially interested in
submissions that bring Yiddish Studies into conversation with current
fields of critical inquiry. We welcome submissions from scholars both in
and outside of Yiddish Studies and encourage work that engages all
aspects of Yiddish cultural production, translation, history and/or
linguistics. As the name In geveb suggests, the Academic Journal seeks to
expand what is included in the web of Yiddish Studies in order to create a
new, digital image of Yiddish scholarship available on the web.

The Texts and Translations Section of In geveb
invites translations of essays, articles, correspondence, poetry,
children’s literature, manifestos, stories, and other short pieces from
published or unpublished sources originally written in Yiddish. We will
consider submissions of longer translations to be published serially. We
 are interested in all provenances: Soviet, Polish, American, and
beyond. Small honorariums will be available for accepted and completed
translations. Submissions should be accompanied by a short (no more than
 300 words) introduction providing relevant historical and cultural
context about the Yiddish text.

The Pedagogy Section of In geveb
aims to be a useful and content rich resource where language
instructors can share ideas, questions, and materials. We invite
submissions of original pedagogical material at all levels of Yiddish
language instruction and for all ages of students. Please submit lesson
plans, descriptions of activities, worksheets, reading guides, and any
other original pedagogical materials. All submissions should include
detailed instructions for implementation, an explanation of appropriate
ages, level, where it might fit into a language curriculum, and a
description of pedagogical goals. Submissions should be formatted in a
clear and usable manner and properly attributed.

The In geveb blog
seeks to make use of new media to chronicle and participate in Yiddish
cultural life. Potential submissions include reportage on contemporary
Yiddish events, essays and book reviews, longform journalism, photo
essays, interviews, listicles, video and audio creations, Yiddish music,
fascinating footnotes made public, and other forms of digital
storytelling.

Detailed guidelines and instructions for submissions can be found on our
website, ingeveb.org. Questions can be addressed to info at ingeveb.org or
find us on facebook: facebook.com/ingeveb.

The deadline for the first round of submissions to In geveb is March 2nd,
2015 and submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis thereafter.

In geveb is supported by the Naomi Prawer Kadar Foundation, Inc.
