Janus Unbound: Journal of Critical Studies

Janus Unbound: Journal of Critical Studies is pleased to announce its seventh call for papers. Deadline for Submission is 15 September 2024 with the possibility to submit papers on any themes at any time. 

 The theme for this issue is:

Open Themed

We invite any and all submissions regardless of topic. We welcome works that fit ideas of traditional academic essays, but also encourage transdisciplinary and experimental pieces, creative writing, personal narratives, and creative fiction. We particularly welcome feminist voices and submissions from authors of marginalized and/or disadvantaged communities and positionalities.

JU invites original research articles, essays, review articles, critical notes, commentaries, book reviews, and poems, long, short, and in-between. Multiple submissions are welcome. Poems should be original. We accept short films and videos. We do not consider work that has appeared elsewhere (this includes all websites and personal blogs) or that is being considered for publication elsewhere. Interested parties should send their works to info@janusunbound.com.

We value excellence and originality. Janus Unbound is particularly attracted to works that challenge prevailing views and established ideas and encourages thought-provoking research topics and debate. Based on “If not now, when?” as a motto, we foster transdisciplinarity, participate in the ongoing reconfiguration of knowledge, and challenge received conceptual frames and perspectives for the sake of the power, health, and wealth of the multitude.

Why publish with us? We are:

     a hospitable venue for excellence and originality;

     an eminent editorial and advisory board;

     open access to all researchers and free of charge;

     proper and fast in the peer-review process;

     indexed in OAIster and DOAJ.

We look forward to receiving proposals or finished work in response to the call and are happy to respond to inquiries from interested parties.
