The Journal for Literary and Intermedial Crossings (JLIC) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal edited by senior members of the Centre for Intermedial and Literary Crossings, based at Vrije Universiteit Brussel. The e-journal publishes high-quality, innovative research engaging with literary and intermedial phenomena from various methodological angles and a wide range of disciplines including literary, theatre, media and cultural studies. Supported by an international advisory board, the journal’s peer review process secures the highest scholarly standards and is aimed at an academic readership.
