Studies in
Liminality and Literature
- SLL is a series
of authoritative working papers in English
- SLL focuses on
the poetics of the threshold
- SLL caters to the
growing number of scholars currently working in a vast and mostly
ill-defined ‘territory’ which is (paradoxically) shaped
by lines, thresholds, demarcations, and which (again paradoxically)
is placing the question of peripheries at the centre of research.
- SLL seeks to provide
a forum for research on various aspects of literature to which
the concept of liminality is relevant.
The SLL series
is concerned with the following issues:
- canon-formation and canon-demarcation;
- the politics of exclusion;
- margin-creation and threshold-deletion;
- the status of popular
and/or ‘liminal’ culture vis-à-vis the canon,
and
- the relationships between
‘liminal’ and ‘canonical’ texts;
- interface areas and the
structure and workings of textual, generic and historical interfaces;
- matters of spatial organization
and spatial symbolism, insofar as they relate to the notion of
thresholds;
- theoretical, methodological
and analytical problems raised by texts which straddle the canon/non-canon,
oral/written, medieval/modern, English/non-English divides.
- In a word, the series
is concerned with the poetics of the threshold.
