Journal of World Literature 

Editors-in-Chief: David Damrosch, Harvard University, Theo D’haen, University of Leuven, Jale Parla, Istanbul Bilgi University and Zhang Longxi, City University of Hong Kong Managing Editors: Omid Azadibougar, Shiraz University and Esmaeil Haddadian-Moghaddam, University of Leuven  The Journal of World Literature ( JWL) aspires to bring together scholars interested in developing the concept of World Literature, and to provide the most suitable environment for contributions from all the world’s literary traditions. It creates a forum for re-visiting global literary heritages, discovering valuable works that have been undeservedly ignored, and introducing aspects of the transnational global dissemination of literature, with translation as a focus. The journal welcomes submissions that can concurrently imagine any literary tradition, in any language, moving beyond national frames to simultaneously discuss and develop the cosmopolitan threads of a variety of literary traditions. It also welcomes contributions from scholars of different research backgrounds working collaboratively as well as from group research projects interested in showcasing their findings, in order to meet the challenge of a wider and deeper discussion of literature’s networks.

Matatu Journal for African Culture and Society 

Editor: Gordon Collier, Geoffrey V. Davis, Frank Schulze–Engler, John Njenga Karugia, Aderemi Raji-Oyelade, and Clarissa Vierke Technical editor: Gordon Collier 

 

The Matatu is a peer-reviewed journal on African literatures and societies dedicated to interdisciplinary dialogue between literary and cultural studies, historiography, the social sciences and cultural anthropology. The Matatu is animated by a lively interest in African culture and literature (including the Afro-Caribbean) that moves beyond worn-out clichés of “cultural authenticity” and “national liberation” towards critical exploration of African modernities. The East African public transport vehicle from which Matatu takes its name is both a component and a symbol of these modernities: based on “Western” (these days usually Japanese) technology, it is a vigorously African institution; it is usually regarded with some anxiety by those travelling in it, but is often enough the only means of transport available; it creates temporary communicative communities and provides a transient site for the exchange of news, storytelling, and political debate.

The Matatu is firmly committed to supporting democratic change in Africa, to providing a forum for interchanges between African and European critical debates, to overcoming notions of absolute cultural, ethnic, or religious alterity, and to promoting transnational discussion on the future of African societies in a wider world.

Philological Encounters 

Executive Editor: Islam Dayeh (Freie Universität Berlin)  

The Philological Encounters is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the historical and philosophical critique of philology. The journal encourages critical and comparative perspectives that integrate textual scholarship and the study of language from across the world. Alongside four issues a year, monographs and/ or collected volumes will occasionally be published as supplements to the journal in the book series Philological Encounters Monographs.The journal is open to contributions in all fields studying the history of textual practices, hermeneutics and philology, philological controversies, and the intellectual and global history of writing, archiving, tradition-making and publishing. Neither confined to any discipline nor bound by any geographical or temporal limits, Philological Encounters takes as its point of departure the growing concern with the global significance of philology and the potential of historically conscious and politically critical philology to challenge exclusivist notions of the self and the canon. The Philological Encounters welcomes innovative and critical contributions in the form of articles as well as review articles, usually of two or three related books, and preferably from different disciplines.

Journal of Arabic Literature 

Executive Editor: Muhsin Jassim al-Musawi (Columbia University New York) Associate Editors: Elizabeth Holt (Bard College), Tarek A. El-Ariss (University of Texas at Austin) Book Review Editors: Nathaniel Greenberg (George Mason University) and Gretchen Head (Yale-NUS College)  Since its inception in 1970 the Journal of Arabic Literature has provided an international scholarly forum for the discussion of Arabic literature and has secured its position at the forefront of critical and methodological debate. The journal publishes literary, critical and historical studies, as well as reviews and bibliographies, on a broad range of Arabic materials – classical and modern, written and oral, poetry and prose, literary and colloquial. Studies that seek to integrate Arabic literature into the broader discourses of the humanities and social sciences take their place alongside technical work of a more specialized nature. The journal thus addresses itself to a readership in comparative literature and literary theory and method, in addition to specialists in Arabic and Middle Eastern literatures and Middle East studies generally.

Daphnis Journal of German Literature and Culture of the Early Modern Period (1400-1750)  Zeitschrift für deutsche Literatur und Kultur der Frühen Neuzeit 

Chief Editor: Ulrich Seelbach Review Editor: Ursula Kocher 

From its foundation in 1972, Daphnis was conceived as a platform for the publication of research into German literature and culture of the early modern period (14th-18th century). Since then it has developed to take on board interdisciplinary and intercultural perspectives. It is considered today an outstanding international scholarly forum for research into the early modern period. From a comparative point of view it examines the relationship between German literatures and cultural history and the culture of other European (and non-European) countries in the period, as well as such phenomena as cultural transfer. It addresses problems pertaining to the early new high German language and to neo-Latin literature, as well as to new research fields such as intermediality, performance theories or gender studies. Within its four issues a year Daphnis offers the possibility of thematic volumes. With its peer-review procedures, Daphnis is a platform which welcomes previously unpublished contributions (in German or English) under the headings: Research Articles, Miscellaneous Contributions, Bibliography and Book Reviews.

Volumes feature original, academic articles and reviews centered around a special topic. Each volume is edited by a Guest Editor. The series welcomes and encourages different critical and theoretical scholarly approaches to Albee studies.

Women Writers in History

Critical Posthumanisms

Edited by Ivan Callus, University of Malta and Stefan Herbrechter, Coventry University

Critical Posthumanisms focuses on the exciting rise of posthumanism and its probable directions. Welcome are studies by scholars whose perspectives on the posthuman vary in important and interesting ways, and serves as a crucial point of reference for anybody working within the field.

Experimental Practices

Edited by Sher Doruff, Gerrit Rietveld Academy, and Amsterdam University for the Arts, and Manuela Rossini, University of Basel, President and Executive Director of SLSAeu

The series seeks to develop the status of science, art, literature and philosophy as truly experimental practices, each of which regularly borrows from any and all of the others in order to further its drive to experimentation, invention and innovation. It builds on the collaborative ethos of the US-based, international Society for Science, Literature, and the Arts (SLSA) and seeks to extend this more actively by extending transdisciplinary exchanges between scholars more firmly into collaborations between scholars and artists or scientists.
