Focus and Scope

The Global Humanities Review publishes interdisciplinary and innovative research across ten major domains within the humanities. The journal welcomes submissions that engage critically with diverse theoretical frameworks, cultural contexts, and methodological approaches.

1. Postcolonial Narratives and Cultural Resistance

This area explores how literature, art, and cultural texts negotiate power, hybridity, and decolonization in postcolonial societies. Papers may examine the subversion of colonial discourse, the reclamation of indigenous epistemologies, and the reclamation of marginalized voices.

2. Gender, Sexuality, and Identity Studies

We invite scholarship that interrogates gender constructs, queer identities, and intersectionality in cultural and literary expressions. Topics include feminist discourse, non-binary narratives, and representations of gendered power dynamics.

3. Digital Humanities and Technocultural Studies

This section examines the interface between technology and humanistic inquiry—covering digital archives, algorithmic criticism, AI-generated literature, and new media storytelling.

4. Ecocriticism and Environmental Humanities

Submissions may analyze the human-nature relationship through literature, film, and culture. Topics include climate narratives, eco-poetics, speculative eco-fiction, and indigenous environmental thought.

5. Translation and Cross-Cultural Exchange

This area studies translation as an act of negotiation and cultural transmission. We welcome research on translatability, adaptation, and multilingual interactions in global contexts.

6. Diaspora and Transnational Identities

Focuses on displacement, migration, nostalgia, and hybridity in global diasporic experiences. Papers may explore intergenerational memory, transnational belonging, and cultural transformation.

7. Oral Traditions, Folklore, and Indigenous Knowledge

We encourage studies on the preservation, reinterpretation, and commodification of oral narratives and folk traditions in contemporary cultural expressions.

8. Linguistic Diversity and Multilingualism

This area addresses the sociocultural and political dimensions of language. Submissions may discuss code-switching, language policy, visual semiotics, or linguistic identity in multilingual societies.

9. Trauma, Memory, and Healing Narratives

Explores the representation of individual and collective trauma in literature and culture. Themes include war memory, gendered violence, post-memory, and testimonial writing.

10. Popular Culture, Media, and Adaptation Studies

This section investigates the adaptation of literary and cultural texts across media, including film, digital platforms, performance, and visual arts. Topics may include transmedia storytelling, fan cultures, and the global circulation of narratives.
