Call for Submissions – Vagabond Multilingual Journal

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2024

The spirit of UC Berkeley’s comparative literature department is multidisciplinary, which is exactly the essence of Vagabond Multilingual Magazine.

The Vagabondeditorial board is pleased to announce that our Issue 3 reading period is open for submissions. For the third issue of Vagabond Multilingual Journal, we ask scholars to engage with the idea of translation as an act of transformation. Translation, to us, is not just the act of bringing a text from one language to another. It’s all around us, all the time: encompassing our interactions with others, the act of creating and receiving art itself, and even our own identities. We’d love to see submissions that embrace the ambiguities that lie at the center of living in a multilingual, multicultural world. Submissions do not need to adhere strictly to the theme, but submissions which show focus on multilingualism and/or multiculturalism are preferred.
