<p style="line-height:13.8px"><span style="font-size:14px"><i><span lang="EN-GB">Ralahine Utopian Studies</span></i><span lang="EN-GB"> is the publishing project of the Ralahine Centre
for Utopian Studies at the University of Limerick in association with the University of Bologna, the University of Cyprus, the University of Florida and the University of Maine.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:13.8px"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:14px"><br>
The series publishes high-quality scholarship that addresses the theory and practice of utopianism (including Anglophone, continental European and indigenous and postcolonial traditions, and contemporary and historical periods). Publications (in English and
other European languages) include original monographs and essay collections (including theoretical, textual and ethnographic/institutional research), English-language translations of utopian scholarship in other national languages, reissues of classic scholarly
works that are out of print and annotated editions of original utopian literary and other texts (including translations).</span></p>
<p style="line-height:13.8px"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:14px"><br>
While the series editors seek work that engages with the current scholarship and debates in the field of utopian studies, they will not privilege any particular critical or theoretical orientation. They welcome submissions by established or emerging scholars
working within or outside the academy. Given the multilingual and interdisciplinary remit of the series, the editors especially welcome comparative studies in any disciplinary or transdisciplinary framework. </span></p>

global phenomenon. Proposals are invited for monographs and edited collections that celebrate the tremendous reach of a genre that continues to be interpreted and transformed by a variety of cultures and linguistic communities around the world. The series
embraces this global vision of the genre but also supports the articulation of each community’s unique approach to the challenges of science, technology and society. The series encourages the use of contemporary theoretical approaches (e.g. postcolonialism,
posthumanism, feminisms, ecocriticism) as well as engagement with positionalities understood through critical race and ethnicity studies, gender studies, queer theory, disability studies, class analysis, and beyond. Interdisciplinary work and research on any
media (e.g. print, film, television, visual arts, video games, new media) is welcome. The language of the series is English.</span></span></p>
