Call for Submissions – Destinations deadline 1 March 2020 (ORE)

OXFORD RESEARCH IN ENGLISH

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ISSUE 11: DESTINATIONS

Destination – the word itself concerns both journey and journey’s end. For this issue of Oxford Research in English, we invite articles that delve into arrival and setting forth in literature, as well as the textual, intertextual and extratextual ways one can examine literary places and spaces. “Destination” derives from the Latin dēstināre—to resolve, to determine, to destine— before journeying into French and arriving in English.

Literary destinations are spatial as well as temporal, with memory and narrative being integral to how we make sense of where we are, and how we come to be. Destinations may be metaphysical or institutional, lieux de mémoire, or itinerant sites that emerge and vanish, in ways that illuminate literary production and interpretation. Texts travel through time: from mind to page, mind to mind, bookstand to bookshelf.

We are interested in submissions from any period or focus within literary studies and related fields that engage with the following topics:

  • Travel writing and journeys evoked in literature
  • Pilgrimage, predestination and fate
  • Temporality of memory and remembrance
  • Diaspora, nation and homeland
  • Circulation of texts, translation and reading across borders
  • Literary traditions genealogies, and the arrival of texts in canons
  • Literary networks and internationalisation
  • Theoretical approaches to readership and authorship – the text as performative site
  • Evolution of literary forms and genre conventions
  • The writer’s oeuvre as teleology, and analyses of an author’s early vs. late styles

Oxford Research in English (ORE) is currently seeking papers of 5-8,000 words for its eleventh issue, to be released in Autumn 2020. Please submit papers for consideration to ore@ell.ox.ac.uk by the deadline of 1st March 2020. We ask that submitted articles be formatted using MHRA.

For our style guide and previous issues of the ORE, please visit our website https://oxfordresearchenglish.wordpress.com/

Oxford Research in English (ORE) is an online journal for postgraduate and early career scholars in English, Film Studies, Creative Writing, and related disciplines. All submissions are peer-reviewed by current graduate students at, or associated with, the University of Oxford

Call for Papers: The Still Point Journal Issue #2 – The Researcher’s Notebook, deadline extended 21 February 2016

Call for Submissions

The Still Point Journal Issue #2: The Researcher’s Notebook

Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo’s notebook

Each [notebook] was a small landscape through which it was possible to wander, and within which it was possible to get lost. […] The notebooks, taken together, represented an accidental epic poem of [the writer’s] life, or perhaps a dendrological cross-section of his mind.

Robert Macfarlane, Landmarks

For Issue #2 of The Still Point Journal, we ask contributors to imagine that their submissions are part of a collective Researcher’s Notebook in both a literal, and a broader, metaphorical sense. We want to explore the idea of the journal as a space for spontaneous discovery, self-creation/autopoeisis; whether this be through pages from an actual notebook filled with doodles, mind-maps and beautiful scrawls, or pieces which explore the researcher’s thought-process and the genesis of an idea over time. Send us your works-in-progress, your unfinished ideas, or the thoughts you feverishly scribbled down in the middle of the night.

We invite submissions of non-fiction, short fiction, poetry and visual work in all forms. Responses can be as creative and as broad as you like, and we are particularly interested in seeing work which blurs the boundaries of form and genre.

 

The Still Point Journal is a literary journal for Arts and Humanities researchers in London, funded by the LAHP (London Arts & Humanities Partnership) and the AHRC. The Still Point aims to be a forum for dialogue, collaboration and experimentation, and offers a space for creatively writing through ideas in original forms.

‘The still point’ reflects our experience of being new researchers and represents those moments when we take time out of our days for deep thinking and reflection: when the world gets quiet but our minds are still racing. The journal’s particular focus is on non-fiction writing, related – however tangentially – to our research and the kind of rich thinking and exploration we do during the course of this research.

 

Submission Guidelines:

–         Non-fiction pieces should be between 1000 and 3000 words.
–         Short stories should be no more than 2000 words in length.
–         Please send between 1 and 3 poems.
–         For all visual submissions please send us a high quality digital file.

 

Deadline Extended: Please send any questions or submissions to submissions@thestillpointjournal.com by the 21st February 2016.

If you want to discuss an idea with us before you make a submission, please drop us a line: editor@thestillpointjournal.com. Contributors should be currently affiliated with a research institution, although we are also interested in hearing from artists, designers and illustrators who would like to collaborate with researchers on their pieces.

 

Blog Submissions

We accept submissions for the blog on a rolling basis, exploring any aspect of the experience of research (not restricted to the theme of the current or future journal). Ideally submissions will be no more than 500 words, but we may accept longer pieces.

Please send your ideas, questions, articles, images, or videos to stillpointblog@gmail.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

You can also follow us on Twitter @stillpointLDN, or find us online at www.thestillpointjournal.com  and on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stillpointLDN
