Call for Papers
''A painter's drawing is really his writing…''
--Marc Chagall

This special issue of CMS, to be published in spring 2019, invites submissions
(scholarly articles, interdisciplinary essays, or mixed-genre pieces) focusing
on the relationship between multilingualism and creative expression, as it is
informed by theories or practices of multilingualism. 

Translingual literature is the phenomenon of authors who, like Samuel Beckett,
André Brink, and Vladimir Nabokov, write in more than one language or who,
like Chinua Achebe, Joseph Conrad, and Ha Jin, write exclusively in a language
other than their primary one. Some writers, such as Marc Chagall--who was a
prolific artist, wrote poetry in Russian and Yiddish, and famously used his
mixed languages and alphabets in his artwork--exhibit creative versatility in
multiple art forms. Like the great Chinese calligrapher-poets, 'metrolingual'
artists (Jaworski 2014) use creative combinations of linguistic and artistic
codes, genres, and multimodal dimensions in their text art (e.g. Laurie
Anderson). Does translingual theory help us to understand what happens when an
artist (of multiple media)--such as Jean (Hans) Arp, who moved among painting,
sculpture, and poetry but also between German and French, or Breyten
Breytenbach, who moves between fiction and painting but also among Afrikaans,
English, and French--is also multilingual?

The journal Critical Multilingualism Studies is a peer-reviewed
interdisciplinary journal of scholarship on language, multilingualism, and
related social, cultural, historical, and literary phenomena. CMS has been
publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship since 2012.
Contributions in any language and from any discipline or combinations of
disciplines are welcome. Multilingual and multimedia components are
encouraged.

The deadline for submissions is September 1, 2018.
We strongly recommend querying the guest editors (by May 1, 2018) before
submitting or finalizing a draft. Send any questions about a potential
contribution to Natasha.Lvovich at kbcc.cuny.edu.
