Journal for liminal phenomena
Limen 2nd issue - Literature, Language, Liminality
Rewriting, reconstructing, repronouncing, deterritorialization - these are
highlighted values of contemporary literary theory whereas postcolonial or
national.
Hybridity, liminality, "interrogatory, interstitial space" (Location of
Culture) - these are the positive values Homi Bhabha opposes to a
retrograde historicism that continues to dominate Western critical
thinking, a "linear narrative of the nation".
Second issue of Limen - Journal for theory and practice of liminal
phenomena (first thematic) will focus on the contemporary applications of
liminal theories (in all existing or completely new meanings) into literary
and/or linguistic researches.
Some of topics may include questions of cultural identity, language of mass
culture, Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the "minor literature",
contemporary mixture forms (like mestizaje in Chicano literature), use of
language&literature as a tool in-between social control and rewriting the
dominant codes, etc.
The journal is also open to any article in cultural theory, a case study or
review regarding the "in-between" subject or methodological perspective.
The journal will be issued at least twice a year and is available via the
Internet offering a worldwide distribution at no cost to the readers.
Please refer to www.mi2.hr/limen or mirror site limen.mmc.hr for the first
issue and further details.
Once a year, in accordance to financial and other resources, a classical
hard copy with selection of articles will be published. Every submission
will undergo a peer-review by independent scholars working in the field.

rules.
