Aims, scope and focus
Passage is published by Hasselt University. By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Linguistics and Language Analysis, Cultural and political discourse analysis and Discourse Analysis in Language Studies, together about 21.7% of its articles. Its main subfields are Literature and Literary Theory and Language and Linguistics. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
Passage publishes, exclusively, creative-critical work. This means we do not accept traditional papers, even if their topic is innovative. This also means we do not publish essays that are not based on research and are demonstrably rigorous scholarship. We will prioritise autotheoretical works, which we understand as pieces that employ an autobiographical approach to nuance, perform, and inform cultural theory.
