theory with an interdisciplinary orientation. It aims at combining

theory in German speaking areas and at the same time offers a forum for
international research. JLT especially seeks exchange with related
disciplines interpreting texts and symbols, as well as with the
humanities, and will inquire their significance for the formation of
literary theory.

JLT appears twice a year. The articles will be published in English or
German. An internationally appointed advisory board will anonymously
evaluate the articles and select them for publication. Most of the
issues will focus on a special topic, to which at least three articles
will be dedicated. In addition, the journal will include further essays,

related disciplines that might be of interest to literary scholars. The
central topics for the first issues are:
Issue 1 (2007): New developments in literary theory and related
disciplines
Issue 2 (2007): Emotions
Issue 3 (2008): Interpretation
Issue 4 (2008): Pop culture
