2024 was a year of change for the Journal for Literary and Intermedial Crossings!
First, a new cover design and new layout has been applied to both previous and forthcoming issues. We thank editorial assistants Tara Brusselaers, Rachele Gusella and Katrijn Van den Bossche for the design. The page numbers of older issues have not been impacted, but the change has resulted in updated URL's.
Secondly, the editorial board has carried out a policy change.
As before, JLIC will publish two issues a year. The first issue of the year regroups regular submissions following an ‘Open Call,’ while the second publication is a special issue that represents a selection of papers delivered at the annual symposium of the journal’s founding research Centre for Literary and Intermedial Crossings. Depending on the provisional timeline, we also welcome proposals for thematic issues that fall within the journal's scope (including a minimum of 5 articles plus introduction).
In addition to the yearly Call for Papers, which can be found in the Open Calls section, JLIC now also has a running Open Call. Contributions that respond to our running Open Call may be sent in year-round and may be published in the varia-section that will accompany the special issues from now on.
