Asiatic IIUM Journal of English Language and Literature

About

Asiatic is the very first international journal on English writings by Asian writers and writers of Asian origins. English writings on Asian societies and cultures are also within the scope of the journal. Currently, the only one of its kind, it aims to publish high-quality researches and outstanding creative works spanning the broad fields of literature and linguistics.
Asiatic will contain a rich collection of selected articles on issues that deal with Asian Englishes, Asian cultures and Asian literature in English, including diasporic literature and Asian literature in translation. Articles may include studies that address the multidimensional impacts of the English Language on a wide variety of Asian cultures (South Asian, East Asian, Southeast Asian and others). Subjects of debates and discussions will encompass the socio-economic facet of the Asian world in relation to current academic investigations on literature, culture and linguistics. This approach will present the works of English-trained Asian writers and scholars, having English as the unifying medium of expression and Asia as the fundamental backdrop of their study.
