‘Journey’ is a word that evokes images and feelings of freedom, escape, newness, experience, and curiosity. Within English studies, a journey may be literal, requiring movement across borders and spaces; figurative journeys often develop the inner dynamic of
a character; and whimsical voyages, on the other hand, take place in the mind—the ultimate creative, uncharted territory. While the genre of “travel writing” has recently experienced a great surge of interest, JOSTES understands journey stories as wider in
scope than a particular literary genre; “journey” is at the heart of human experience, as literary characters and writers embark on transformative excursions within space and/ or within themselves.<br>
<br>
The JOSTES editors are looking for scholarly articles between 5,000 and 8,000 words which address our theme: “Journeys: Literal, Metaphorical or Imaginary.” We encourage contributors to reflect on English Studies (both undergraduate and graduate) and themes
that reflect the idea of journeys, movement and travel. We encourage submissions from literature (American, British, or other literature written in English), linguistics, rhetoric, composition, literary theory, pedagogy and the English classroom, and academia
itself. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following:<br>
<br>
Literature<br>
<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>• How have authors’ journey experiences (a trip/ vacation, migration, displacement, diaspora, and exile) shaped certain literary texts?<br>
</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>• How does literature with a keen interest in “journey” discuss ideals of cosmopolitanism and world citizenship?<br>
</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>• The literal, metaphorical or imaginary journey of characters within poetry and fiction<br>
</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>• Journey themes in children’s and adolescent literature: literal journeys, coming of age stories, psychological and intellectual and/ or developmental<br>
</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>• Close readings of published or archived travel-diaries/ travel-journals<br>
</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>• Travel Writing theory<br>
