2010 General Issue - Andean Studies and Literatures Supplement
Mester, the yearly graduate student academic journal of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at UCLA, seeks articles for its general issue to be published in June 2010. Mester publishes critical articles, interviews, and book reviews in the fields of Spanish, Portuguese, Spanish-American, Brazilian, Latino and Chicano literatures and linguistics. Mester also welcomes articles in Comparative Literature, Critical Theory and Cultural Studies.
Our upcoming volume will have two main sections: a general one open to any topic related to the scope of the journal, and a special supplement section dedicated to Andean Studies and Literatures, for which we are currently seeking dossier proposals as well as individual articles, interviews and book reviews that deal with Andean topics. The dossier proposal should have 4 to 7 articles and it should include the following information: Title, Presentation (goals, originality and contributions), Names and academic affiliation (for those who have it) of the authors, Title of each item, Authors' personal contacts.
Articles may be written in Spanish, Portuguese or English. Publication decisions are based solely on the quality of the submissions, which undergo triple-blind review. Mester is dedicated to publishing work that demonstrates a high level of scholarship, and since 1970 we have built a reputation as one of the best student-run journals in North America, publishing articles by established scholars alongside the best work of graduate students. The journal is indexed in the MLA International Bibliography of Books and Articles on the Modern Languages and Literatures.
Please refer to the submission guidelines.
The deadline is February 28, 2010, but early submissions are encouraged.
Please forward all materials or questions to:
