/Culture Unbound: Journal of Current Cultural research/ is an open 
access e-journal that seeks to be a forum for contemporary, cutting edge 
cultural research from a wide range of disciplinary and 
interdisciplinary areas. /Culture Unbound/ has just published a new 
thematic section entitled "Literary Public Spheres", edited by *Torbjörn 
Forslid* and *Anders Ohlsson*.

 

In today's literary public sphere, different artistic and commercial 
interests converge. Dissolution of genres and transgression of borders 
has become the rule, rather than the exception. The objective of this 
thematic section on "Literary Public Spheres"/ /is to broaden the scope 
of literary studies by exploring how both writers and readers employ 
literature for a variety of purposes in a wide range of public settings. 
It considers the public conversation about literature, as a crucial part 
of literature itself and  explores how literary texts become the subject 
of debate, negation or dialogue centred on contemporary values and 
opinions of popular concern.

 

This overarching theme covers a wide field of more specific scholarly 
perspectives that explore literature's shifting role in different public 
spheres, past as well as present. Subjects include the press of 18^th 
century Scandinavia, Postsoviet educational policy, historical 
lexicography, the visual performance of authorship, the role of the 
essayist and the mechanisms of present day book blogging, while the 
theoretical perspectives range from Jürgen Habermas to Friedrich Kittler.
