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. We particularly welcome articles focusing on aesthetic ‘crossings’ of media, genres and spaces.
Supported by an international advisory board, the journal’s peer-review process secures the highest scholarly standards and is aimed at an academic readership.
In addition to the bi-yearly Call for Papers for the open and special issues, which can be found in the dedicated section on our website, the Journal for Literary and Intermedial Crossings (JLIC) 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 accompanies the special issue.
All submissions should include a working title, an abstract of 750-1,000 words (not including 'works cited'), a list of 3-5 keywords and a 100-word author bio (in English only). If the language of your abstract is Dutch, French, German, Italian or Spanish, please submit an accompanying translation of your abstract and keywords in English.
After the editorial review of abstracts, we welcome full contributions between 5,000 and 6,000 words (references and footnotes included) in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian or Spanish. JLIC supports textual as well as multi-media formats. All manuscripts will go through a double-blind peer-review process.
All work submitted to JLIC should reference and be formatted according to our Author Guidelines.
