The Journal for Literary and Intermedial Crossings offers an online publication platform to researchers who wish to explore various aesthetic ‘crossings’ concerning media, genres and/or spaces. Targeted squarely at investigating the ‘in-between,’ the journal seeks contributions from scholars broadly covering medial, literary, generic, spatial and cultural crossings that bridge a plurality of potential discourses, modalities, and methodologies. This special issue on “Depicting Destitution across Media” brings together different approaches to intermedial depictions of poverty. It asks how a focus on poverty can reinvigorate theories and methods for the literary and cultural analysis of representations of social inequality. In particular, it addresses the ways in which intermedial and transmedial perspectives enhance our understanding of such depictions. (CLIC)
