Chung-Wai Literary Monthly

Launched in 1972 by the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, National Taiwan University, Chung-Wai Literary Monthly is a pioneering journal on comparative studies of Chinese literature and literatures from other parts of the world. When cultural studies were emerging as a new field of studies in Taiwan in the late 1980s, Chung-Wai was instrumental in promoting the new scholarship by devoting several special issues to cultural studies around the world. Ranking as a first-rate academic journal according to the evaluation of Taiwan’s National Science Council, Chung-Wai has consistently won the recognition and recommendation of Chinese-language scholars and researchers worldwide

Each issue of Chung-Wai features a theme, such as Native North American Literature, Transnational Culture and Taiwanese Literature, Urban Space and Cultural Governance, Economy of Exchange, Minor Theatre, Literary Studies and Biblical Tradition, Chinese Perspectives on Shakespeare, Gustave Flaubert and His Fiction, Chinese Culture in an Inter-Asian Context, Literary London, Biosemiotics, and so forth. Most of the special issues are edited by guest-editors, all distinguished scholars of the featured themes. In addition to themed articles, every issue also includes research articles on cutting-edge theories and practices in literary and cultural studies.

All submissions to Chung-Wai are subject to a double-blind review process by specialists in related research fields. A meeting place for a wide range of disciplines and theoretical approaches, Chung-Wai is the most recognized Chinese-language literary/cultural studies journal in Taiwan and has continued to provide a forum for challenging disciplinary boundaries, fostering innovative connections, and examining the relevance of comparative literary studies to our contemporary society.
