We are delighted to announce the publication of the latest issue of the Journal for Literary and Intermedial Crossings, “Experimental Literature and Intermedial Relations”, guest edited by Hannah van Hove and Tessel Veneboer.
This special issue explores how experimental literature stages intermedial relations, suggesting that its departure from literary conventions is inextricably bound up with an interrogation of this dynamic. Featuring essays on the work of William Demby, Kathy Acker, David Wojnarowicz, Cherríe Moraga, and Claudia Rankine, the issue spans experimental writing from 1965 to the present and concludes with an interview with contemporary poet Paul Stephenson. The contributions to this issue explore how experimentation within ostensibly “single-media” forms already mobilizes intermedial logics: through the remediation of other arts, the staging of performance within text, and the incorporation of visual, spatial, or cross-cultural references.
The open-access issue can be accessed on the JLIC website: clic.research.vub.be/volume-10-issue-1-2025.
