2005 Call for Papers, General Issue
Mester, the yearly graduate student academic journal of the Department of
Spanish and Portuguese at UCLA, seeks articles for its upcoming general
issue to be published in June 2005.
Our upcoming volume will be a general one open to any topic related to the
scope of the journal. Mester publishes critical articles, interviews, and
book reviews in the fields of Spanish, Portuguese, Spanish-American,
Brazilian and Chicano literatures and linguistics. Mester also welcomes
articles in Comparative Literature, Critical Theory and Cultural Studies.
Articles may be written in Spanish, Portuguese, or English.
Publication decisions are based solely on the quality of the submissions,
which undergo triple-blind review. Mester is dedicated to publish work
that demonstrates a high level of scholarship, and since 1970 we have
built a reputation as one of the best student-run journals in North
America, publishing articles by established scholars alongside the best
work of graduate students. The journal is indexed in the MLA
International Bibliography of Books and Articles on the Modern Languages
and Literatures.
To be considered for publication, manuscripts should not exceed 25
double-spaced pages, including endnotes; and must follow the MLA
guidelines (latest edition). The original and three copies are required
for all work. Please do not write the author's name on manuscripts but
include it in a cover letter, along with the title of the article,
institutional affiliation, email and work and/or home address. Please
number all pages. Reviews for works published within the past two years
are accepted in the following categories: academic books, linguistics,
new prose and fiction. Reviews should be between 600 and 2,000 words in
length. Publishers and authors are welcome to submit books for possible
selection.
Submissions that are being considered by another journal or any other
publisher are not accepted. Original rejected manuscripts will be
returned upon request if sufficient loose postage is provided.
The due date is March 30th 2005, but early submissions are encouraged.
