Call
for Papers
International Association for Literary Journalism Studies
?Literary Journalism: Text and Context?
The Eighth International Conference for Literary Journalism Studies
(IALJS-8)
University of Tampere
School of Communication, Media and Theatre
Tampere, Finland
16-18 May 2013
The International Association for Literary Journalism Studies invites
submissions of originalresearch papers, abstracts for research in
progress and proposals for panels on Literary Journalism for the IALJS
annual convention on 16-18 May 2013. The conference will be held at the
University of Tampere in Tampere, Finland.
The conference hopes to be a forum for scholarly work of both breadth
and depth in the field of literary journalism, and all research
methodologies are welcome, as are research on all aspects of literary
journalism and/or literary reportage. For the purpose of scholarly
delineation, our definition of literary journalism is "journalism as
literature" rather than "journalism about literature." The association
especially hopes to receive papers related to the general conference
theme,?Literary Journalism: Text and Context." All submissions must be
in English.
The International Association for Literary Journalism Studies is a
multi-disciplinary learned society whose essential purpose is the
encouragement and improvement of scholarly research and education in
Literary Journalism. As an association in a relatively recently defined
field of academic study, it is our agreed intent to be both explicitly
inclusive and warmly supportive of a variety of scholarly approaches.
Details of the programs of previous annual meetings can be found at:
