10 Dec Call for Papers
Scholarship on Emerging Writers or Filmmakers
Ongoing Call
Dec/Jan submissions will be fast-tracked
Antipodes invites articles for a new special feature in Antipodes, journal of the
American Association for Australasian Studies (AAALS), that provide a scholarly
engagement with the work of an emerging writer or film maker from Australia, the
Torres Strait Islands or Aotearoa New Zealand. While this category is flexible, an
emerging writer is someone who has published one or two books, prose or poetry, or
produced a film of any genre, or some equivalent (for example, quite a number of
poems published in prominent places). The goal of this ongoing CFP is to provide
scholarly engagement (not a book review) with the work of writers who are publishing
their first works. Comparative approaches are welcome, that is, comparing the
emerging writer with any established work (from any country, globally). Articles
should be rigorous critical engagements with one or more works by the writer, putting
the work in a purposeful dialogue with current theories, practices, or other contexxts.
Submit by 10 January 2025 for consideration in next issue (published soon), but this is an
ongoing call for articles.
Essays should be 4500-6500 words in length (slightly shorter than standard Antipodes range) and
follow the latest MLA citation style and Antipodes guidelines. Submit here. More information
about the journal and submission process: https://digitalcommons.wayne.edu/antipodes/
With permission of the author and publisher, Antipodes will consider publishing short
excerpts from the authorʻs work to accompany the scholarly article.
Please contact Antipodes editor Brenda Machosky ([email protected]) with inquiries. All
essays should be submitted through the journal’s website and will undergo double-anonymous
peer review and editorial evaluation per the journal’s standing policy. Antipodes is published by
Wayne State University Press
