CFP: The Question of Reading
According to Jean-Paul Sartre, ?a concrete act called reading? is necessary for a text to become a literary object. LIT: Literature Interpretation Theory is soliciting critical, historical, and theoretical explorations of the act of reading. Suggested questions are: How should the act of reading be conceived? How do historical, social, and cultural conditions shape the reception of texts? How have readings of texts changed historically? How do gender, race, sexual orientation, and other categories of social difference factor into reader response and the reception of texts? How does one read across these categories of social difference? Submissions should engage with specific literary texts, range from 5,000-10,000 words, and must be in MLA style. Guest
