Subject: Journal of Hindu Studies - "Translation Articles" (Jrnl)


Journal: Journal of Hindu Studies
Issue: Translation Articles

We are delighted to announce that the Journal of Hindu Studies (JHS)
is now welcoming ‘Translation Articles’ that feature translations of
short texts, or self-contained extracts from longer works, from any
South Asian languages relevant to Hindu Studies broadly construed.
Although translations have always played a crucial role in shaping
Hindu Studies and all allied disciplines within humanities, arts and
social sciences, there remains a notable paucity of established venues
for publishing article-length translations that are rigorously
reviewed and globally accessible. The JHS has therefore committed
itself to publishing a new series of “Translation Articles” that are
eminently reliable, readable and consequential for academic
scholarship.
Translation Articles should include a scholarly introduction that
highlights the context and significance of the translated work and
elaborates upon the self-reflective craft of the translator. If
necessary, the introduction may be accompanied by commentary, critical
apparatus and/or annotations. Authors should supply Roman
transliteration of the translated work in a Unicode font. Submissions
should be no more than 12000 words in length (including
transliteration and bibliography).
Submissions can feature a range of genres, themes and disciplines —
from poetry and folklore to scholastic and religious literature, and
beyond. The journal envisions Hindu Studies as a profoundly capacious,
inclusive and ethical field of inquiry and encourages submissions that
expand the critical contours of Hindu Studies. We have, so far,
published “A Muslamani Matron of Cholera in Bengal” by Utsa Bose and
Tony K. Stewart, “The Nyayamanjari’s Arguments Against the Existence
of God” by Alex Watson and Kei Kataoka, and “Prameya-Ratnarnava of
Balakrsna Bhatta” by Ankur Barua. We invite submissions that affirm
our commitment to pluralistic, democratic and equitable ethos.
The JHS also welcomes proposals to publish special issues comprised of
Translation Articles.
In consonance with JHS standards, all Translation Articles accepted
for review will receive a minimum of two double-blind peer reviews.
Reviewers will evaluate the quality, accuracy and ingenuity of the
translation, as well as the merits of the scholarly introduction,
critical commentary and any supplementary materials accompanying the
translation.
If you are interested in contributing a Translation Article, or
proposing a special issue, please email us at
