While Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance seeks to publish cutting-edge scholarship, it
also welcomes shorter essays for its section called Perspectives.
Perspectives is the embodiment of Akdas commitment to advancing alternative forms of knowledge production. Our
strategic deconstruction of received notions of scholarship involves publishing articles/essays that do not quite fit
traditional definitions of and criteria for academic articles. We particularly welcome essays that meaningfully blur the
distinctions between the creative and the critical. We also envision this space as a productive site of dialogue between
and among artists from different parts of the region and will be very eager to accommodate essays on their philosophy,
vision, praxis, craft, and poetics. We will also consider publishing occasional prose like lectures on various topics
concerning literature, culture, and performance as well as creative writing and pedagogy, as well as short research notes
and briefs that address underexplored aspects or areas of scholarship in the region.
Articles/essays may range from 3,000 to 5,000 words; short research papers and notes, 2,000 to 2,500 words. These
submissions must be accompanied by a 200-word abstract and a short bio-note. Citations must be done using the MLA
documentation style and the articles/essays must have a works cited page. Artist/scholars are responsible for seeking
permission to publish copyrighted materials and other texts relevant to their essays/articles. Submissions must be in, or
translated into, English. Translated work must be submitted with the consent of both author and translator.

Deadline for submission for this issue is on October 31, 2016. Email your submissions
to akda.submissions@gmail.com (mailto:akda.submissions@gmail.com).
