New Journal: Scientific Study of Literature

Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to announce the launch of a new journal, Scientific Study of Literature (SSOL). SSOL is the official journal of the International Society for the Empirical Study of Literature. Our purview is broad, including all cultural artefacts that make use of literary devices (e.g., narrativity, symbolism), including novels, poetry, theatre, film, television, and videogames. We welcome contributions from many disciplinary perspectives, including psychological, developmental, cross-cultural, cognitive, neuroscience, computational, and educational.

To learn more about our new journal, please visit our website: http://bit.ly/SSOLjournal

Sincerely,

EDITOR
Willie van Peer (w_vp@yahoo.com)
