Territories of
Languages
Guest Editor:
Réda Bensmaïa
The articles in this issue
reflect on the theoretical, political, ideological, and cultural
foundations and borders of the experience of being "between two
languages," as well as on the "grafts" that represent idioms created
out of the interaction of local with global languages on the
contemporary literary and cultural scene. In what forms of
appropriation or disappropriation, territorialization or
deterritorilization do these idioms engage? CLS welcomes close analyses
of literary and cultural texts from any period or region that are
written "between two languages."

Classics and
Contemporary Literature/Culture/Theory
Guest Editors:
Paul Allen Miller and Steven Shankman
A key element in contemporary
and especially poststructuralist theory has been its reception of
classical philosophy. This special issue solicits articles on the
importance of ancient philosophy and literature, East and West, for
contemporary literature and literary theory, including
poststructuralist and postcolonial theory. We are looking for articles
that explore contemporary responses to the foundational texts of both
Eastern and Western traditions.
