Aims and Scope JLAB

The journal aspires to offer a rigorous, inclusive, and innovative space for critical discourse on literature and literary culture. It aspires to facilitate interdisciplinary conversations, accommodate multiple views, and offer opportunities for early-career as well as senior scholars, with contributions that enhance or reframe existing knowledge in the field of literary studies. The journal remains committed to publishing scholarly work of robust quality that interact with humanities, while examining the dynamic position of literature in the global/local scenarios.

The journal publishes original research articles, theoretical pieces, reviews, as well as critical works that address:

- Literature that crosses historical eras, genres, as well as geographical divisions.

- Interdisciplinary studies that integrate literature with philosophy, history, cultural studies, linguistics, media studies, and the social sciences.

- Comparative literary studies and transnational literatures

- Narrative theory, poetics, stylistics, and rhetorical analysis

- Postcolonial, Feminist, Ecocritical, as well as other critical essays.

- Digital humanities: New methodological paradigms for studies of literature

- Literature’s intersections with technology, identity, politics, and cultural transformation

To this end, the JLAB encourages submissions that reflect originality, methodological sophistication, conceptual cohesion, as well as a meaningful dialogue with other scholarly contributions. In addition, contributions from early-career scholars, as well as individuals from marginalized backgrounds, remain a strong focus.
