Cross-pollination: Literature, Journalism, Literary Journalism

Cadernos de Literatura Comparada, nr 44 (June 2021)

Call for contributions

Guest editors: Jorge Bastos da Silva (University of Porto) and Isabel 
Soares (University of Lisbon)

Intersections between literature and journalism are manifold. Common 
ground both depends and bears on a set of shared technologies, ranging 
from verbal language itself to the material resources of manuscript, 
print and digital communication. Over the centuries, many writers of 
literature have been professional journalists and learned from the trade 
– and vice-versa. Periodical publications regularly report on literary 
activity, even when that is not their main focus, and a number 
specialize in following literary writing old and new by means of 
critical reviews, interviews, etc. Simultaneously, literary journalism, 
understood as a distinctive genre of long narrative non-fiction, or 
journalism written with a literary flair, has established its ground and 
produced a canon of acknowledged writers and won a Nobel.

This issue of Cadernos de Literatura Comparada addresses the connections 
between literature and journalism from an international, plurivocal 
perspective. We welcome articles that cover any of the topics relevant 
to the general theme of the issue, including (but not limited to) the 
following:
