This open issue invites essays related to the broader project of Taiwan Lit, an online

journal published by the Center for Taiwan Studies at the University of Texas at

Austin aimed at enhancing the burgeoning field of Taiwanese literary and cultural

studies. We welcome submissions on any topic relating to the journal’s scope,

broadly conceived, from any period, and from established and emerging scholars

alike. Submissions are welcome in both English and Chinese. Papers submitted to

Taiwan Lit undergo peer review, to cultivate high quality work that contributes to

intellectual exchanges across geographical boundaries. The editors of Taiwan Lit

are committed to working with authors to develop their work and join global

conversations at the forefront of the humanities today.

Please send 250-words abstracts to Rebecca Lee at rnlee@utexas.edu. Abstracts

should clearly indicate the proposed paper’s topic, delineate the scope and

argument of the paper, explain how it contributes to existing scholarship, and detail

the paper’s main primary sources or texts. The editors of Taiwan Lit will invite full

papers based on their evaluation of abstracts received.

Articles should be based on original research and be approximately 6000-7000

words in English/10,000 Chinese characters in length. For footnotes and

bibliography, the MLA style is preferred. Papers received will undergo an

anonymous peer review process, and the results will be communicated in a timely

fashion.

Please contact the journal editors if you have questions about any of the above.
