The Journal of Contemporary Poetics, housed in the International Islamic University in Islamabad, is a biannual, open access peer-reviewed journal. Focused on Literature, Linguistics & ELT, it solicits papers that are global and interdisciplinary in scope. It brings together perspectives on a diverse array of issues through well-research papers that engage with pressing contemporary issues that are framing recent debates in the Humanities. We do not seek an application of theory but an engagement with multiple cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary philosophical paradigms that are shaping the contemporary debates in Literature, Linguistics and ELT. We publish articles that touch upon a vast array of topics including

  • global literatures
  • immigration
  • environmental studies
  • poetry
  • drama
  • fiction

  • narratology
  • discourse studies
  • popular culture

  • borders and contact zones
  • criminology
  • performing arts
  • philosophy
  • cross-cultural studies
  • ELT
