About Us
新澳门六合彩资料 Comparative World Literature is proud to present the revival of its annual journal: Genre. After a four-year hiatus, the Genre Editorial Collective is up and running this Fall semester, hard at work making an issue that is both for students and by students. The pi猫ce de r茅sistance of this new and revised Genre is the curation of a discursive space for everyone.
We are dedicated to publishing creative and scholarly work across any and all disciplines. With each issue of Genre, we seek to showcase works crafted by the 新澳门六合彩资料 student body from all realms of study. Providing a platform of expression for 新澳门六合彩资料鈥檚 diverse range of academic disciplines offers students the opportunity to put into practice the valuable theories and techniques of their academic pursuits. With this compilation, we hope to embody each issue鈥檚 thematic focus, bringing to life topics of emotional and cultural relevance for the 新澳门六合彩资料 community and beyond.
History & Past Issues
Created in 1967, Genre has a long and rich tradition of multilingual and multicultural perspectives. Previously categorized as an 鈥渁nnual scholarly journal,鈥 the inherently manifold condition brought on by Comparative World Literature as a field of study ensures that the strictly scholarly mode (and, the strictly liberal arts) more or less falls short. Our new expansion seeks to reflect this multiplicity and encompass perspectives beyond the scope of 鈥渢raditional鈥 literature. This brings synthesis to the forefront of Genre: the development of a platform open to any and all forms of expression, from any and all fields of study and creation.

Current Issue 鈫 Under Construction
Please stay tuned as the Genre Editorial Collective is working on creating Genre vol. 40 for anticipated December launch.
Submissions
The theme for this year鈥檚 publication is as follows: RESISTANCE/RESILIENCE.
We welcome conversations about how historical, personal, or social instances of extreme conditions/situations, (individual, collective, or global) are expressed, analyzed, and engaged from a multidisciplinary perspective. Through narratives rooted in adversity, we seek to highlight the remarkable resilience of those who have withstood and conquered such conditions/situations鈥攖o shine a light on the unrelenting human spirit in the face of hardship.
Call for Submissions
Genre is accepting academic and creative work relating to the theme of Resistance/Resilience. Papers from the CWL 2024 conference: Writers of Extreme Situations: A Multidisciplinary Perspective are also welcome.
We are eagerly accepting multidisciplinary works, including:
- Art/illustrations
- Photography
- Stories/fiction
- Scripts
- Designs*
- Poetry
- Essays
*These works may be based in graphic design, architecture, engineering, fashion, etc.
If you have work that does fall under this theme but does not place under one of these descriptors, email us genrecsulb@gmail.com and we can discuss eligibility!
It is also important to note that this new version of Genre is taking on a new form. First, the journal will be digitally accessible. This is a core tenant of digital humanities that Genre seeks to incorporate: preservation in the face of natural deterioration. We will also be offering print on-demand, as a contribution of tangible artifacts to pave our departmental history; they also make good coffee table books!
