The Non-Western Literatures series welcomes texts in French or in English, as for example essays, collective works or dissertations, that explore literature from the perspective of comparative studies focusing on non-Western literatures. The series, supervised by an international scientific committee, aims at renewing and reinventing  comparative literature studies as a discipline by confronting it with new questions arising from an increased sharing of knowledge, as evidenced by world  literature and the so-called « alter-native » literatures or by all the epistemological and ethical questions raised by transdisciplinarity.

Non-Western Literatures offer a field of reflection determined by three main comparative perspectives that this series intends to focus on: 

1. The comparative study of these literatures

2. The study of their links with Western literatures

3. The study of their implications for an interdisciplinary approach.

Submissions must include a 3-page description, a table of contents, two completed chapters and a CV. They will be sent electronically to the Editor-in-chief, Bénédicte Letellier.

The international scientific committee: Jean Bessière (University of Paris 3, Sorbonne Nouvelle, France), E.V. Ramakrishnan (Central University of Gujarat, India), Longxi Zhang (City University of Hong-Kong, China), Isabel Hofmeyr (University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa), Hitoshi Oshima (University of Fukuoka, Japan), Anders Pettersson (Umea University, Sweden), Lisa Block de Behar (Institute of Artigas Professor, Montevideo, Uruguay), Alexandre Stroev (University of Paris 3, Sorbonne Nouvelle, France).
