Exemplaria: A Journal of Theory in Medieval and Renaissance Studies
Senior Editor, R. Allen Shoaf
Managing Editor, Judith P. Shoaf
Editors:
Sheila Delany, Simon Fraser University
Teresa A. Kennedy, University of Mary Washington
James J. Paxson, University of Florida
Barrie Ruth Straus, University of Windsor
Co-founding Editor, Julian Noa Wasserman (1948–2003), Loyola University in New Orleans
Recognizing the irreducible pluralism of the contemporary critical map and regretting the frequent tendency to premature closure in favor of some familiar terminology, we would like to provide a forum where different methods, different terminologies, different approaches can communicate without sacrificing any of their distinctiveness. Such communication, we believe, will excite critical activity and conserve critical energy but do neither at the expense of the multiple, often random, of modern medievalists and Renaissance scholars.
“Diverse folk, diversely they seyd”
is the watchword, we think, of a vital and productive critical community.
ImageTexT
Founder and Editor, Donald Ault
Editorial Advisory Board:
Fredric Jameson, Duke University
W.J.T. Mitchell, University of Chicago
Jerome J. McGann, University of Virginia
The objective of ImageTexT is to advance critical and historical analysis of comics, animation, illustrated poetry and prose, and related literary and artistic genres combining image and text, in print and digital forms. Exploring all periods and all national traditions and deploying a wide range of disciplinary approaches, ImageTexT seeks to foster innovative discussions of comics and related imagetexts, to generate original formal analyses, and to broaden theoretical discussions of genre, period, narrative, and medium.
Under the direction of an editorial board comprised of scholars from diverse critical traditions, we publish solicited and peer-reviewed essays investigating the material, historical, theoretical, and cultural implications of imagetextuality, as well as reviews of current scholarship, announcements regarding conferences and forthcoming publications, and links to other projects of interest to the journal’s broad readership. We also publish new English-language translations of previously-published criticism in these areas of research. ImageTexT is listed in the MLA Bibliography.
