CfP: Rap and the Slavic Languages
The first volume of Rap & die slawischen Sprachen (see here) revealed a multifaceted world of Slavic languages within rap, and rap within Slavic languages, extending far beyond the traditional geographical boundaries of Slavic Studies. Analyzing case studies ranging from German-speaking countries to Central Asia, the volume explored diverse linguistic manifestations of Slavic languages and cultures. Following a consistently positive reception from both the media and the academic community, it has become evident that further exploration of this emerging research field is essential.
For the second volume, Rap and the Slavic Languages II, the publication language will shift to English. The editor invites colleagues from diverse disciplines, including Slavic linguistics, literary and cultural studies, history, musicology, and the social sciences, to submit their abstracts. While the central focus remains on Slavic languages and their application within rap, the volume welcomes as well literary, cultural-anthropological, sociological, or political science approaches that center on language as the primary object of study: Languages and their use.
