CfP: JLM Special Issue on Multilingual Literature in Conflict Zones

The Journal of Literary Multilingualism (JLM) will publish a special issue on Multilingual Literature in Conflict Zones, co-edited by Adrian Wanner and Marianna Deganutti.

The full Call for Papers can be found on the JLM website.

Scholars of literary responses to conflicts are particularly well-suited to contribute. For example, how do authors’ attitudes toward their languages shift in the face of conflict?

Other topics of interest include the literary consequences of political fragmentation or the linguistic choices made by authors who are directly involved in or deeply affected by war.

Submissions for book reviews, interviews, and creative writing are also encouraged. The deadline for abstracts is 1 April 2026, with full articles due on 15 October 2026.
