Launch of postgraduate e-journal E-pisteme, and call for papers

E-pisteme, a postgraduate e-journal based in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Newcastle University, is dedicated to publishing fresh and vibrant research of the highest quality from postgraduate students and postdoctoral scholars. The journal focuses on themes that reach across disciplines, seeking to challenge traditionally defined ways of thinking and doing research. E-pisteme is designed as a forum for international academic exchange and aims to publish peer-reviewed scholarly articles by new researchers, providing an opportunity for postgraduates to write in an academic style for an interdisciplinary readership.

We are pleased to announce that E-pisteme is now accepting articles for its inaugural issue on the theme of ‘VOICE’. The issue aims to explore some of the complexities of the concept ‘voice’ by bringing together contributions of masters, doctoral and postdoctoral researchers working in a variety of disciplines across the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Suggested areas for articles include, but are not restricted to:

Voice and Identity, Voice and Power, Marginalized voices (linguistic, cultural, political, etc.), The ‘death of the author’?, Nationalism, Forbidden voices – Censorship, Translating Voices, Voice and the Media, e-voices

Please send article submissions as MS Word attachments via e-mail to: e-pisteme@ncl.ac.uk

All submitted articles must contain the following information:

. Name . Affiliation . Stage of study . E-mail address . Abstract (100–200 words) . 3 to 5 Keywords .

musikanalyse.de launched

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that the musicology specialist database musikanalyse.de is online.

musikanalyse.de is a reference database specializing in literature and recordings of single musical works. Visitors can submit references on work analyses and recordings of a work as well as submit comments on individual entries. Particularly the latter allows information surpassing the usual details of such bibliographies to be collected.

musikanalyse.de is designed as a long-term and carefully edited project. A detailed description is available on the website. You are encouraged to participate.

With kind regards and best wishes for your summer vacation,

Julia Heimerdinger
