Dix-Neuf: The Journal of the Society of Dix-Neuviémistes

The Society of Dix-Neuviémistes would like to announce the launch of its new
journal _Dix-Neuf: Journal of the Society of Dix-Neuviémistes_.

The first number is now (exceptionally) available online, at:
http://www.leeds.ac.uk/french/sdn/dixneuf/currentissue.htm

The contents of the first number are listed below, followed by an invitation
for submissions of articles for forthcoming numbers.

---------------------------------------
GENERAL REMIT

Dix-Neuf has an interdisciplinary remit and aims to situate itself as a
principal source of cutting-edge research in nineteenth-century French and
francophone studies in all relevant disciplines: literatures, historical
research, cultural analysis, and art history.  It will also promote new
critical and theoretical debate in all aspects of the subject area.  It will
offer the scholarly community an electronic journal which sets out to
attract both readers and contributors by the range and quality of its
articles.

There will be two issues per year, with a minimum of four articles in each,
any article not normally to exceed 8,000 words.

The journal will, from the outset, have the highest standards of refereeing
and review, with strict and transparent policies, integrating all the best
features of traditional scholarly publication into the electronic
environment, capitalising on the possibilities offered by the meeting of the
two media. The electronic format will make possible the integration of image
files, hyperlinks and even sound or video links or files.

The Editors

The Editors are nominated by the Executive Committee of SDN. They are: Sonya
Stephens (Royal Holloway, University of London) and Nicholas White (Emmanuel
College, Cambridge).

Advisory Board:  Malcolm Bowie (Cambridge); Margaret Cohen (NYU); Antoine
Compagnon (Paris IV/Columbia); Timothy J. Clark (Berkeley); Philippe Hamon
(Paris III); Henri Mitterand (Columbia); Jacques Neefs (Paris VIII/Johns

Guidelines for Authors

Length of articles

Articles as a rule can be as long as 8,000 words. Please send electronic
copies (preferably a Word file attachment) of your article to both the
editors:

Sonya Stephens: s.stephens at rhul.ac.uk  (Department of French, Royal
Holloway, University of London, UK)

Nick White:             njw16 at cam.ac.uk  (Emmanuel College, Cambridge, UK)

Page numbering

All but the first page of the text proper should be numbered.

Titles

Italicize the titles of books, plays, and periodicals; short stories and
poems are to be put in quotation marks.

In titles of French journals and periodicals, the first word and all the
principal words are capitalized. In other French titles, the first word is
always capitalized; if a substantive immediately follows an initial article,
it is also capitalized; if the substantive is preceded by an adjective both
are capitalized; if the title begins with any word other than an article or
adjective, the words following are all in lower case: Revue des Sciences
Humaines; La Revue des Deux Mondes; Les Femmes homicides; Histoire de la vie
privée; Le Pur et l'impur; A la recherche du temps perdu; En rade; "La
Fausse Monnaie".

Documentation

For documentation, Dix-Neuf follows the author-date system, as in The MLA
Style Manual (New York: Modern Lang. Assn., 2nd ed., 1999). Endnotes for
substantive comment only, plus a Works Cited list. Copies of The MLA Style
Manual may be purchased from the MLA, 10 Astor Place, New York, NY 10003 or
from http://www.mla.org/. The most relevant sections of this style manual
for documentation in Dix-Neuf are those found on pages 155 to 250, sections
6.6 to 7.4.10.

Illustrations

The electronic format of Dix-Neuf facilitates links to all sorts of
illustrations in ways which will amplify the interdisciplinary potential of
the journal. Authors should identify the web location of relevant images,
and where necessary, acquire permission for the reproduction of images.

Guide for References

Endnotes are to be avoided for bibliographical information. Rather, the
essay must contain a Works Cited section. For a multi-volume work, always
state the complete number of volumes. To indicate page and volume number, a
brief reference should be inserted, within parentheses, in the text itself.
Use Arabic numbers, not Roman numerals, when giving volume numbers, followed
by a colon and page numbers. Special note should be taken that "Ibid." and
"op. cit." are no longer used, nor are the abbreviations "p." or "pp."

Examples of Works Cited:

Balzac, Honoré de. 1976-81. La Comédie humaine. 12 vols. Paris:
Gallimard-Pléiade.

Spang, Rebecca. 2000. The Invention of the Restaurant. Paris and Modern
Gastronomic Culture. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.

Examples of Parenthetical References in the Text:

In La Cousine Bette Balzac intones: "La courtisane, au contraire, serait
l'oeuvre de Carême avec ses condiments, avec ses épices et ses recherches"
(7: 319).
(7 refers to volume number, 319 to page number.)

French literary history is marked by the "immense shadow" (Furet 156) of the
Revolution.

Or:

In Furet's view French literary history is marked by the "immense shadow"
(156) of the Revolution.
