This Series seeks scholarly works on intercultural encounters in literature, particularly East‐West precolonial, colonial, or postcolonial contacts that expose, problematize, or re‐create the sense of locality, historicity, and subjectivity. The Series especially welcomes monographs written in English or other languages translated into English. Conference volumes or edited volumes by multiple authors will not be considered at this time. Volumes of essays with a thematic focus written by a single author, however, are welcome. We also encourage the submission of revised doctoral dissertations which employ innovative concepts related to our topics. Suggested topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Colonial literature in the countries of the Asian Pacific Rim
  • Transpacific or transatlantic cultural or literary routes/roots
  • New cultural identities in literature in neocolonial and global Asia
  • The relationship between Asia and Oceania
  • The contacts between Asia and Europe or the Americas
  • Theoretical paradigms of globality and worlding
  • Convergences and divergences of exile, diaspora, and expatriation
  • Asian diasporic writing in the new millennium
  • Canons and genres
  • Classics in modern contexts
  • Cultural translations of Sinophone, Anglophone, Francophone and/or Hispanophone literatures

National Taiwan University is striving for more international collaborations and scholarly exchanges. NTU Press, playing an important role in disseminating top‐notch research and scholarship in the Chinese‐speaking academy, is now expanding its scope of publication in English. All submissions will be assessed by the Editors and reviewed by anonymous readers. Once the book project is approved, the author(s) will receive a contract from NTU Press. Please send a book prospectus, the author’s CV, and a sample chapter to the Editors. The manuscript should employ the MLA format and style, and only a completed manuscript will be considered.
