Arcadia

Aims & Scope

arcadia is a biannual peer-reviewed international, intercultural and interdisciplinary journal that welcomes reflexive and informed comparative and critical approaches to literary works, films, theatre plays, to social, political, cultural, visual and media phenomena, to translations, literary and cultural migrations and transfers as well as to theoretical, methodological and philosophical questions.

It publishes contributions in German, English, and French from all over the world and keeps its pages open to a broad variety of theories and methods.

It fosters innovation, recontextualization and reconceptualization derived from a confrontation between different, and often asymmetric, national, cultural, gendered, economic, geopolitical, intellectual, disciplinary and institutional settings.

Next to the proposals for thematic clusters and special issues, the journal also invites independent articles by both eminent and emerging scholars.

After an initial editorial screening, submissions undergo a blind review process by an international advisory board and other experts in the field.
