Mosaic, a journal for the interdisciplinary study of literature
Call for Submissions: Letters
Mosaic invites innovative and interdisciplinary submissions for a special issue on the theme of philosophy's, literature's, or any other discipline's, letters. Traditionally, letters have been regarded as "non-serious" or at least as superfluous to the critical enterprise proper (consider Kant's division of Plato the letter-writer from Plato the philosophical father). But can letters themselves be considered critical forays and/or keys to the inheritance of scholarly work? Might letters put the serious/non-serious opposition into question? For this special issue, Mosaic encourages submissions that bring letters to light in relation but not limited to the following themes: understanding a writer's or artist's body of work; alternate histories; friendship; auto-bio-graphy; archival and digital repository research; email and electronic posting.
If you would like to contribute an essay for review, please visit our website for details:

Submissions must be received by October 16, 2015.
