world literatures and indigenous studies

LITERARIA invites the submission of articles, shorter essays, interviews, and book reviews offering historical, interdisciplinary, theoretical, and cultural approaches to literature and related fields. 

Submissions should be emailed to editor@newliteraria.com by no later than 30th May 2022.  All submissions must include a cover letter that includes the author's full mailing address, email address, telephone numbers, and professional or academic affiliation.

Articles should be between 3,500 and 8,000 words long (including bibliography and footnotes). Book reviews should be between 750 and 1,500 words.

COVID has drastically changed how individuals navigate their worlds. Many university campuses and graduate programs have made changes. Current graduate students finishing their PhD program and future incoming cohorts, for example, will face new difficulties. Will funding continue to be available? Will campuses remain open, specifically student housing? Will campuses improve the experiences of disabled and marginalized groups so that campus services are not only theoretically accessible to all graduate students but also equitably distributed? How has COVID impacted you and how do you navigate graduate school?

Call for Chapters

Dear colleagues,

We have extended our call for papers deadline through April 1, 2022. We look forward to your proposals on Beyond the Occident in Fiction, Art, Media, and Film.

Beyond the Occident: Perspectives on Past, Present and Speculative Future in Fiction, Art, Media, and Film

To be edited by Sümeyra Buran and Jiré Emine Gözen.

Editors: Wits Centre for Diversity Studies  and Convivial Thinking Editorial Collective

The Oxfam Inequality Report is a yearly reminder of the pervasiveness and depth of embedded injustices and inequalities in our daily lives. Colonial trajectories continue to shape contemporary tendencies to universalise the constitutive elements of a ‘good life’, encapsulated in global goals such as the SDGs. The resultant erasure denies other social and political imaginaries, other ways of knowing and understanding the world; as the Zapatista say, ‘a world of many worlds’, wherein we collectively create pluriversal spaces to flourish.

MMLA: November 16-21, 2022, Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, Minneapolis, MN.

In the inaugural issue of The Global South, Arif Dirlik notes the fundamental instability of the journal’s core concept: “like all geographical designations of ideological and political spaces and projects,” the geography of the Global South “is much more complicated than the term suggests, and subject to change over time.” “[T]he ‘South’ of the contemporary world,” Dirlik reminds us, “may be significantly different in its composition and territorial spread than the South” of past historical moments.
