Hi SRN folk,

(I intend to submit something myself)

Call for Submissions

Journal of Literary Theory Vol. 9, No. 1 (2015)

Special Issue: Empirical Methods in Literary Studies

Editors: Fotis Jannidis (Wuerzburg, Germany), Gerhard Lauer (Goettingen, 
Germany), Simone Winko (Goettingen, Germany)

Empirical methods have a humble yet continuous tradition in literary 
studies. It is a tradition that seems to stand in fundamental opposition 
to historical and hermeneutical approaches due to differences concerning 
the practice of validation, reliability and extensiveness of their 
claims. JLT is interested in publishing articles that take a theoretical 
and systematic perspective on the question how empirical methods -- 
despite those differences -- might fit into the research practices of 
literary studies. How can both approaches complement each other? How can 
established questions in literary studies be answered differently (or 
maybe even more satisfyingly) by using empirical approaches? How does 
literature as a subject matter change through the use of empirical 
approaches, such as methods from the cognitive sciences or computer 
based processes? Which preconditions should (still) be clarified, so 
that empirical methods can become part of the literary studies?

We encourage submissions from all language and literature departments as 
well as other fields within the humanities and social sciences. 
Contributions should not exceed 50,000 characters in length and have to 
be submitted until August 1, 2014. Please submit your contribution 
electronically via our website http://www.jltonline.de 
<http://www.jltonline.de/>under "Articles". Articles are chosen for 
publication by an international advisory board in a double-blind review 
process.
