Partial Answers: A Journal of Literature and the History of Ideas

Call for Papers

Partial Answers, a biannual journal sponsored by the School of Literatures of
the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is devoted to the interdisciplinary study
of literature and the history of ideas. It welcomes contributions that explore
the ways in which
_ literary texts can be perceived both as works of art and as testing grounds
for ideas;
_ literary works participate in the history of ideas, whether understood as a
continuous
     line of development, as a process of inheriting and correcting schemas,
or as a
     sequence of archeological layers;
_ literary texts negotiate ideological changes;
_ period concepts and debates impinge on the shape of the literary texts;
_ the evolution of ideas affects our reading of the literature of the past;
_ individual texts reflect the changing ideas about literature itself.

Partial Answers is published in a region where the need for consciousness of
the contingency of one’s ideological position is intensely felt. The journal
encourages contributors to be explicit regarding their partialities and their
philosophical agenda.

The editorial board will consider articles of 3,000 to 10,000 words, written
in accordance with The Chicago Manual of Style and a consistent system of
reference. Two printed copies of each article and an abstract must be
submitted for preliminary evaluation and refereeing; an electronic copy will
be requested at a later stage. Articles must be accompanied by self-addressed
envelopes and International Reply Coupons, or they will not be returned.
