Dear Colleagues,
The Journal of Literary Multilingualism will publish a special issue on Multilingual Literature in Conflict Zones, co-edited by Adrian Wanner and Marianna Deganutti. You can find the full call for papers here: https://brill.com/view/journals/jlm/jlm-overview.xml?language=en&srsltid=AfmBOorZS2HJypLrljogaBuZWRrdqn42uMP0V-On7E-fkPNUwDLawj7d&contents=editorialContent-133826
Scholars of literary responses to conflicts are particularly well-suited to contribute. For example, how do authors' attitudes toward their languages shift in the face of conflict? Other topics of interest include the literary consequences of political fragmentation or the linguistic choices made by authors who are directly involved in, or deeply affected by, war.
Submissions for book reviews, interviews, and creative writing are also encouraged. The deadline for abstracts is April 1, 2026, with full articles due on October 15, 2026. Please feel free to share this Call for Papers with your colleagues, and direct any inquiries our way.
Best wishes,
Marianna Deganutti
