Second Call for Book Chapters
Narratives from the South Pacific: Sociocultural explorations
Editor: Farzana Gounder
Publisher: John Benjamins. Studies in Narrative (SiN) series
In the South Pacific, the fabric of culture is held together by the threads of
narrative. The construction of these narratives is of immense scholarly
interest; however, until now, there has not been a scholarly work devoted to
exploring the region’s linguistic and social contexts of narrative
construction. Narratives from the South Pacific seeks to address this need.
In recognition of the region’s linguistic and cultural diversity, chapters
discussing the narrativization patterns in any of the following countries are
particularly welcome: Australia, Cook Islands, Easter Island, Fiji, French
Polynesia, Hawaii, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Caledonia, New
Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Rotuma, Samoa, the Federated States of
Micronesia, the Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.
Submissions should fit into one of these three areas:
- Narrative structure and focus
- Manner of telling narratives
- Collective memory, cultural ideologies and narrative constructions
Discussions must be tied back to ‘self’ and ‘identity’ in the South Pacific
context.
The book will appeal to anyone who is interested in how the act of narrative
construction provides a site for the speaker’s identity negotiations. For
this reason, the book will be of interest to anthropological linguists,
discourse analysts, narrative analysts, sociolinguists, and oral historians.
We welcome chapter proposals of 500 words. If accepted, you will be invited to
submit a paper, which will be peer reviewed. If your paper is selected, your
final book chapter will also be peer reviewed.
