About the Journal
Based at the department of Anglophone Literatures/Literary Translation at HHU Düsseldorf, TALE: Translational Approaches, Literary Encounters is an Open Access online journal that publishes outstanding work on Anglophone literatures and translation practices. TALE does not discriminate between titled academics, early career researchers, and students, and aims to provide excellent excursions from different stages of academia as part of its guiding philosophy, with a special emphasis on student work. More particularly, regular student issues will be produced by students in the BA programme "English and American Studies" and the MA programmes "Comparative Studies" and "Literary Translation".
TALE visibilizes academic papers related to our particular seminars or other events such as conferences and workshops. Additionally, the journal provides a platform to share the results of student projects and other creative works, such as book comments and reviews, podcast episodes, interviews with authors, and guest lecturers or creative writing, that emerge from the department's rich teaching offer and collaborative ties with the Centre for Translation Studies.
TALE seeks to publish two issues per year. Lecturers from other English and American Studies departments are warmly invited to guest edit a special issue at any time.
Authors retain full copyright of their papers. All papers are published under a CC-BY 4.0 license by default.
