Authors are sought for a few remaining chapters of the Europe volume of
the Encyclopedia of World Popular Culture, a six-volume set under contract
with the Greenwood Publishing Group.
Each volume will consist of narrative chapters, similar in style and
scope to the individual entries in the ?American Popular Culture through
History? series (also Greenwood). Starting with the onset of mass media culture
during the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, each essay should
provide an overview over its topic, covering all European countries. The average
length of entries will be between 12,500 and 13,000 words, including
notes and a resource guide. The submission deadline for completed essays is
September 30, 2005. Upon publication of the volume, Greenwood will pay
authors an honorarium.
The following chapters need assignments:
* Architecture
* Love, Sex & Marriage
* Sports
* Transportation & Travel
Interested authors should provide evidence of research background in
their respective fields. For questions and further information, or to request
an assignment, contact the volume editor by August 15, 2005:
