The forthcoming issue of Indian Journal of Comparative Literature & Translation Studies will seek to decode the politics of stardom in post-1990s India. The informing assumption is that there is no single culture of celebrity and the issue will endeavor to highlight the co-existence of multiple domains of celebrity culture in India. IJCLTS invites scholars all over the world to submit critical essays that are analytic and that are informed by the extant work on celebrity studies. IJCLTS invites original, unpublished and innovative work from across the disciplines and across the world. The extent of the essays should be between 3000-5000 words or shorter but rigorously analytic pieces (500-1500 words) whose scope is less extensive than that of an essay but which raises a pertinent point regarding celebrity culture. The pertinent master categories of India studies – class, caste, gender and region – could inform the prospective contributions. In keeping with the overall scope of the journal, comparatist approaches to celebrity studies and works that focus on regional language representations and analysis of celebrities whose fame circulates within certain regions are especially welcome. Besides the articles on above said topics IJCLTS is looking for translations, interviews, and book reviews. Submit by 31st May 2014.
