    The Political Dimension of the Western: Power and Legitimacy on the Frontier

    Published:

    This special issue of Anglica Wratislaviensia invites essays which will explore the political dimension of the Western (novels, movies, TV series, and other genres). The Western as a genre dramatizes the tension between law and violence and often suggests – along Arendtian lines – that when individuals are left to pursue private concerns and evade moral responsibility for the community, the political life erodes. It is precisely the preservation of the political and its erosion that the special issue of Anglica Wratislaviensia invites to consider.

Against this background, we invite contributions to the REAL: Yearbook of Research in English and American Literature that reconsider the study of British and American texts in relation to political, legal, and social institutions and/or the formation of institutional structures in the name of literature.
