Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Colloquy is an open access journal publishing scholarly work and creative writing from emerging and established researchers in literary and cultural studies, critical theory, continental philosophy, film and television studies, communications and media studies, and performance studies. Colloquy began its life as a printed journal in 1996 within the then Centre for Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies at Monash University. Today, Colloquy is produced as an online only journal by postgraduate students within the Literary and Cultural Studies Graduate Research Program at Monash University. The journal publishes scholarly articles, book reviews and review articles, translations with scholarly introductions, and creative writing, including short stories, poetry, creative non-fiction, and graphic narratives. The editors encourage submissions from postgraduate students, early career researchers and established academics. All work, save book reviews, is double-blind peer reviewed by appropriate academic referees, ensuring originality and quality of content. The aim of Colloquy is to provide a forum for the theory-informed scholarly critique of contemporary texts. Here, we conceptualise “text” broadly and understand it to refer to any aesthetic or cultural object that can be read as a set of signs. The journal strives to contribute to the academic community by providing a platform for postgraduate students and early career researchers to publish cutting-edge research.
