The International Journal of the Asian Philosophical Association
(IJAPA) - a full text, open access, interdisciplinary, online
peer reviewed journal invites proposals for articles on the
relationship between Asian literatures and Asian philosophies and
religions. We know very well that at times philosophies and
religions showed less tolerance to literature. 
Plato, for instance, associates the artist with dissent and
prefers an ideal republic without the poet's presence; the Koran
states in verse 26: 224 "and as for the poets those who are lost
in grievous error would follow them." Of course, these views are
circumstantial and contextual. We are interested in papers that
explore the mutual relationship among philosophy, religion and
literature and literary studies.

Topics could include, but not limited to:

Buddhism, Daoism, Hinduism, Islam, Interfaith dialogue in
literature and
      Philosophy.
Asian philosophies and literary genres.
Asian Literature and Philosophy as dialogue builders among
different
      cultures and civilizations.
Asian Literature and Philosophy as non-violent paths to conflict
      resolution and peace building.
Identity, gender, sexuality in the works of major Asian writers.
Philosophizing and theorizing queerness in Asian literatures.
Tolerance and cultural diversity in Asian literatures.

Submissions should include a 250-word abstract, a brief bio data,
and full contact information. Papers should be sent in MSWord
attachments to vmansur at fatih.edu.tr . Articles submitted to the
journal should not exceed 4000 words including notes and
bibliographical data; should be original and not be under
consideration elsewhere. Contributions are accepted in English
only. Further information, including instructions for authors can
be found at http://www.asianpa.net/ijapa/instructions.html

In addition, the journal seeks qualified referees in the area of
Asian philosophical and literary studies. Now refereeing is
voluntary, but referees' names will be acknowledged on the cover
pages of the journal as an attribution to their contribution to
the journal. Those interested please send in a detailed CV to
vmansur at fatih.edu.tr
