TransLit: UCLA Journal of Comparative Literature

TransLit is an annual academic journal produced by graduate students in the
Department of Comparative Literature at the University of California at Los
Angeles.  A meeting place for a wide range of disciplines and theoretical
approaches, the journal publishes scholarly articles that treat textual, 
visual,
musical, or other media, and which relate broadly to the field of 
comparative
literature.  Bringing together a range of critical studies, TransLit 
serves as a
forum for challenging disciplinary boundaries, fostering innovative 
connections,
and examining the relevance of comparative literary studies in the 
contemporary
world.

For its next issue, TransLit is seeking papers and articles that engage with
current questions in literary and cultural studies. Possible topics 
include, but
are not limited to, the following:

  History and memory
  Nationalism, identity and alterity
  Rethinking postcolonial studies
  Media and visuality
  Gender narrative
  Transnationalism and globalization
  Trauma narrative
  Marginalized literatures
  Exile and diaspora
  Popular and mass culture
  Language, knowledge, and power
  Spatiality and temporality
