<p><B>symploke</B> is a comparative literature and theory journal. Our aim is
to provide an arena for critical exchange between established and emerging
voices in the field. Past issues include: Affiliation, Practicing Deleuze and Guattari,
Refiguring Europe, Rhetoric and the Human Sciences, Histories of Michel Foucault, and the Post-theory generation.</p>
<p>symploke supports new and developing notions of comparative literature and
theory, and are committed to interdisciplinary studies, intellectual pluralism,
and open discussion. We are particularly interested in scholarship on the
interrelations among philosophy, literature, culture criticism and intellectual
history, though will consider articles on any aspect of the intermingling
of discourses and disciplines. We take our name from the Greek word <I>symploke</I>
which has among its various meanings <I>interweaving,</I> <I>interlacing,</I>
<I>connection</I> and <I>struggle,</I> and believe that continuing change
in the humanities is contingent upon the interweaving, connection, and struggle
between traditionally independent domains of discourse. One of our broader
goals is to contribute to the opening of alternative academic frontiers by
providing a forum for scholars of varying disciplines to engage in the intermingling
of ideas in innovative and exciting ways. The division of intellectual authority
and the drawing of academic boundaries have revealed their limitations, and
it is our contention that now is the time to seek what lies beyond the limits
of disciplinarity. We see this journal as involved in not only the exploration
and extension of interdisiplinary studies in the humanities, but also in the
promotion of a <I>trans-</I> or <I>extra-</I> disciplinary perspective.</p>
