Call for papers:
The editors of Limen: Journal for the Theory and Practice of Liminal Phenomena (http://www.mi2.hr/limen) invite papers for the journal's second (and first thematic) issue on "Literature/Language/Liminality."
The focus is on the contemporary applications of liminality as a concept (in already established and/or completely new meanings) to the studies of language and literature.
Range of topics may include questions of cultural/linguistic identity (especially border & marginal), verbal and non-verbal textuality analysis, sociolinguistic mapping of contemporary culture (questions of hybridization, pidginization, and creolization in language and literature, koine&lingua franca studies), minority discourse and "minor literature" studies, other aspects of discourse analysis in minor, exilic and/or migrant context, historical and/or contemporary mixture forms (like mestizaje in Chicano literature), "in-between" authors and (inter)literary communities, the role of language and literature in imposing social control and rewriting of dominant codes, etc.
The deadline of abstracts is 1 September 2001 by e-mail to limen-journal@mail.com.
