About Juxtapositions
Founded in 2015, Juxtapositions (JUXTA) is a peer-reviewed outlet for scholarship and research in topical areas of world haiku, related forms, and their context within the broader world of literary studies. We welcome international submissions from both the academic and haiku communities. Please consult our Submission Guidelines before submitting.
If you are thinking of writing for Juxtapositions, we urge you to consider new or creative approaches to its scholarship. As haiku has gained a global audience of practitioners beyond Japan, its relation looking outward to world literatures, cultural studies, racial identities, linguistic characteristics, social issues and its historical context on a volatile planet has grown in proportion each decade. These sorts of scholarly explorations are of particular interest to the editors.
The preponderance of haiku research in English has fixated on its Japanese roots. Juxtapositions hopes to broaden that dialogue to embrace haiku’s authoritative position within the engaged world of interdisciplinary research and comparative studies. For all potential authors, but in particular new faculty on tenure-track, for post-docs, and graduate students, Juxtapositions seeks to establish itself as the preeminent scholarly publication on haiku and related topics. We therefore welcome your inquiries. For scholars new to the form, to established haiku poets, on to those longstanding haikuists now editors and officers of haiku magazines and organizations, we hope Juxtapositions becomes the preferred destination for your deliberative prose on the form. Juxtapositions will be published under the imprint of The Haiku Foundation.
