A senior professor of English at Acharya Nagarjuna University, P. Rajasekhar, is shortly bringing out a peer reviewed international bi-annual journal on ‘The Cultural and Literary Nationalism of Fourth World.’ The journal has been registered with publication number —ISSN: 2349- 3039
The journal, a first-of-its-kind on Fourth World Literatures, is the culmination of the scholarly and consistent efforts of Professor Rajasekhar in conducting two significant global seminars on Fourth World Literatures during 2009 and 2012.
Popular native and aboriginal academicians and writers like Jay Hansford Vest (USA), Ernie Blackmore ( Australia), Cynthia Wesley Esquimoux (Canada), Lee Maracle ( Canada), Bruce Pascoe ( Australia), Charles Robertson (US), Jo-Ann Episkenew (Canada), Mark Anderson (Canada) and Hone Sadler (New Zealand) would be on the editorial board.
“The objective of the journal is to promote cultural and nationalism of Fourth World Literatures across the world. We are inviting scholarly responses on pertinent social, cultural and literary aspects of the Fourth World,” said Dr. Rajasekhar, who as the Registrar of the University finds time to guide research scholars and bring out publications.
Journals run by the individuals have set new parameters for the discourse of criticism. For instance, T.S. Eliot’s ‘The Criterion’ , F. R. Leavis’s ‘Scrutiny’ & Ezra Pound’s journal have been popular literary journals run by individuals. Dr. Rajasekhar hopes that this journal on Fourth World Literature would be on the lines of Yale Review, Harvard Review, Southern review and The Atlantic.
Dr. Rajasekhar said that scholarly articles about the contemporary issues of Fourth World Literatures are invited for publication. The details of the journals can be had from: www. Fouthworldlitt.in. The articles should be sent to: derrida.derrida@gmail.com
