Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Our journal addresses researchers from the field of Humanities. Since 2012, it has welcomed research articles on Literary and Cultural Studies, Linguistics and Language Teaching, each volume being allotted one specific theme, as volumes 1-6 show. We will continue to encourage and generate ‘dialogue across and among cultures’ as we have transitioned, starting with issue 7/2018, to a format with issues featuring a different range of themes, suggesting, though not imposing, a comparative perspective on the following areas: literature, media studies (radio, television), film studies, visual and performative arts, teaching (language, literature). We will not receive articles on classic literature. We only welcome original research articles, not already published, not under simultaneous review at any other publication. We also welcome a limited number of book reviews, of titles published no earlier than three years prior to the year of the publication of our respective volume. Please visit our Call for Articles section.
