INTERNATIONAL HERDER SOCIETY

Call for Proposals Herder Jahrbuch/ Herder Yearbook XVII (2024).

Hrsg. von/ Edited by Rainer Godel und/ and Johannes Schmidt

The Herder Yearbook / Herder Jahrbuch is published every other year as the academic journal of the International Herder Society / Internationalen Herder-Gesellschaft (IHS). The next volume will appear in the fall of 2024. Central to the yearbook are scholarly contributions on Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803), his writings, and intellectual endeavors. Alongside, the yearbook offers articles that shed light on texts and contexts by Herder’s contemporaries. Furthermore, the editors will also consider essays on the reception and impact of Herder (from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century).
The yearbook is open to current research contributions from a multitude of disciplines, among them, but not limited to, literary and language studies, (historical) linguistics, philosophy, history, history of ideas and sciences, as well as cultural studies. Proposals for contributions may be submitted at any time in English, German, or French. The Herder Yearbook perceives itself to be a double-blind peer-reviewed publication. All submissions will be evaluated thoroughly by at least two scholars.
At this time, the editors of the Herder Yearbook, Dr. Rainer Godel (Leopoldina) and Dr. Johannes Schmidt (Clemson University), request proposals for articles (on rare occasions also for reviews). Preliminary arrangement with the editors regarding conceivable topics should be completed on or before August 31, 2023; final drafts need to be received by December 15, 2023 in order to provide ample time for the reviewing process. Please note that acceptance of a proposed topic by the editors does not guarantee its publication. Only articles that meet the high quality standards of the yearbook will be published, which will be ensured by means of an anonymous evaluation procedure, corresponding to standards of Anglo-American double-blind peer review.
