PRESS RELEASE
Two New Periodicals in De Gruyter’s Humanities Lineup: The Journal of
Contemporary Drama in English and the Open-Access Sociocultural
Pragmatics: An International Journal of Spanish Linguistics

Berlin, 8 August 2012 – De Gruyter has strengthened its international
humanities portfolio with two new journals. The Journal of Contemporary
Drama in English is the official publication of The German Society for
Contemporary Theatre and Drama in English (CDE). It is an international
and interdisciplinary forum for outstanding scholarship on modern
English-language theater arts. The biannual, peer-reviewed journal
publishes close readings of plays with analysis of their history,
politics, form, theory, and method. The journal also includes a book
series. The first two titles, to be published in 2013, are Elżbieta
Baraniecka’s Sublime Drama: British Theatre of the 1990s and Clara
Escoda Agustí’s Collapse as Resistance in Martin Crimp’s Theatre.

Sociocultural Pragmatics: An International Journal of Spanish
Linguistics is an open-access publication created to disseminate
scholarship in theoretical and applied pragmatics, with a special focus
on the social and cultural aspects of Spanish. Starting this fall,
Sociocultural Pragmatics will appear biannually via De Gruyter Online.
The journal is supported by the EDICE (Estudios sobre el Discurso de la
Cortesía en Español), an international research project headquartered in
Sweden. All the project’s studies will be digitally accessible without
restriction, though De Gruyter will also provide print versions to
libraries that desire bound copies.

“These two new periodicals – one in English literature and the other in
Romance studies – are a very welcome addition to De Gruyter’s portfolio
and will cement its leading position as an international publishing
partner in linguistics and literature studies,” says Dr Anke Beck, Vice
President of Publishing at De Gruyter. “Professional editors, the
in-house digital platform De Gruyter Online, and our liberal open-access
policy convinced the founders of these journals to publish their superb
scholarship through De Gruyter.”
