The intersection of crisis, addiction, and disability in German and English narratives remains an underexplored yet highly relevant field within literary, translation, and cultural studies. While literary representations of addiction often engage with individual and societal crises, questions of identity, social exclusion, and medical pathologization, the intersectional aspect of addiction and disability is frequently overlooked. At the same time, the translation of such narratives plays a crucial role in shaping their reception and interpretation across different linguistic and cultural contexts. Translation studies can make a significant contribution by examining how addiction and disability are interpreted, adapted, or even transformed in intercultural transmission. Submission Guidelines: We invite interested scholars to submit abstracts (approx. 300 words) along with a short academic biography by March 15, 2025, to habib.tekin@marmara.edu.tr, faruk.yucel@ege.edu.t. The final contributions (approx. 6,000–9,000 words) should be submitted by the end of 2025 (precise deadline will be given after abstract acceptance). Publication Series: Jahrbuch für internationale Germanistik (special series of the AHCI and BKCI indexed journal). CPC: Once your article has been accepted after a double-blind peer review process, content publishing price for each article is 60 EUR.
