FILLM Book Series Updated: 20 August 2021
Please note that members of FILLM's Member Associations are entitled to a 30% discount on volumes in the FILLM Book Series.
In 2012 a contract was signed with John
Benjamins Publishing Company (Amsterdam and Philadelphia) for a new book series
entitled FILLM Studies in Languages and
Literatures. The Series Editor is FILLM Vice-President Haun Saussy (University of Chicago). He is assisted by an Editorial Board
consisting of scholars from every region of the world and an Advisory Board
made up of representatives of the FILLM’s Member Associations.
The aims of the new series have been
explained in the following terms:-
“During the
twentieth century, linguistic and literary studies became steadily more
professional and specialized. This significantly raised the standard of
research, but also tended to divide scholars into many separate and often
smallish groupings, between which communication has been rather sporadic. Over
the years this has become a serious handicap, not only in terms of new ideas
and findings which never get cross-fertilized, but also in terms of the hard
economic facts of disciplinary survival. Scholars who concentrate all their
attention on just some single area of expertise are unlikely to convince the
holders of purse-strings that education and research in languages and
literatures should be a top priority.
“In the world’s
current phase of hyper-rapid globalization, the lack of contact between
scholars in different subject-areas is a more glaring anomaly than ever. By
setting up this new series, the FILLM is hoping to foster a world-wide
community of scholars within which a rich diversity of interests will be upheld
by a common sense of human relevance. Books published in the series will be
about languages and literatures anywhere in the world, and will be written in
an English that is immediately understandable and attractive to any likely reader.
Every book will present original findings – including new theoretical and
methodological developments – which will be of prime interest to those who are
experts in its particular field of discussion, but will do so in a way that
will also engage readers who are not experts.
“This dual
address will be the series’ chief hallmark. The overall aim is, at one and the
same time, to spread detailed insights on particular phenomena from many
different countries and regions, and to guard against scholarly provincialism
and overspecialization. In the longer term, the FILLM is seeking to foster a
universal dialogue about linguistic and literary studies which, by clarifying
their human raison d'être, will
consolidate their professional legitimation, and therefore improve their claim
on available funding.”
The new series will be a natural channel of
publication for the FILLM’s Member Associations. But it will also be publishing
single- and co-authored work by individual scholars.
Member Associations or individual scholars
who are planning to publish work which corresponds to the aims of the new
series are invited to get in touch with the Series Editor, Haun Saussy (hsaussy(a)uchicago.edu).
Promising proposals for many different kinds of work are currently
coming in. What would be especially welcome at the moment are proposals for
books dealing with literary and/or language education at all levels.
