Conference Theme:
"The Borders of Memory: The Created Past in Literature and Culture"

Immigration is a phenomenon that contemporary societies struggle with. In this context the figure of the foreigner is a good scenario to explore the dynamics and tensions of cultures in contact. The liminal perspective provided by the outsider adds a new interpretation of our own reality, questioning the foundations of the canonical culture and our own identities. "What appear to be cultural units-human beings, words, meanings, ideas, philosophical systems, social organizations-are maintained in their apparent unity only through an active process of exclusion, opposition, and hierarchization.

The St. John's University Humanities Review is seeking well written
articles between 8-15 double spaced pages for publication in the

Call for Publication

Contributors are invited for the forthcoming edited
collection of essays Boundaries: Critical, Creative
and Interdisciplinary methods of Making, Breaking, and
Negotiating Boundaries*

The papers presented at the recent 'Boundaries:
Critical and Creative' Postgraduate Conference at
Loughborough University in June 2006 highlighted the
quality of academic research being done which
interrogates, acknowledges and challenges boundaries
in critical and creative literature. This collection
is in part inspired by and, in part, a response to the
success of the conference and the wide range of
high-quality academic discussion that came from it.
