Life Writing http://ww.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/14484528.asp
Life Writing is a fresh initiative in the scholarly exploration of biography and autobiography. The journal was launched in Australia in February 2004 by Professor Sally Morgan, one of the foremost exponents of Indigenous life writing. In March 2004 Professor John Eakin, a leading pioneer in the field, launched us a second time at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The enthusiastic support of these influential scholars indicates the quality which our young journal has succeeded in achieving.
The journal has three sections: Academic Articles, "Reflections" and Reviews.
We invite authors to submit articles that consider any aspect of the contemporary meanings of life narrative. We are particularly interested in work that aims to incorporate interdisciplinary perspectives, since we recognise that the growing field of auto/biography is one in which anthropology, cultural studies, history, literature, philosophy, psychology, sociology and visual studies are all contributing exciting and revisionary scholarship.
We also welcome submissions which broaden the geographical focus of life writing. We aim to contribute to discussions taking place in "western" life writing circles, but we also encourage authors from places other than the US, Canada, Australia and Europe to consider submitting their work.

Memory Studies http://mss.sagepub.com/
Memory Studies affords recognition, form, and direction to work in this nascent field, and provides a critical forum for dialogue and debate on the theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues central to a collaborative understanding of memory today.
Memory Studies examines the social, cultural, cognitive, political and technological shifts affecting how, what and why individuals, groups and societies remember, and forget. The journal responds to and seeks to shape public and academic discourse on the nature, manipulation, and contestation of memory in the contemporary era.
Despite the epistemological and causal significance attributed to memory in the study of such questions as the formation of personal and public identity, culture and politics, and social communities, there remains dramatic divergence on the basic concepts and methods of the area. The field mobilises scholarship driven by problem or topic, rather than by singular method or tradition. We seek papers that highlight and deliberately negotiate divergence in backgrounds and assumptions, as opposed to those that avoid these issues.
Areas of dialogue and debate include:
•Everyday remembering
•Collective, public, social and shared memory
•Biography and history
•Schema and narrative
•The ethics of remembering and forgetting
•Commemoration and remembrance
•Organic and artificial memory
•Media and mechanisms
•Documentation and archive
•Holocaust memory
•Cosmopolitanism and globalization
•Cultural memory and heritage
•Catastrophe and trauma
•Nation and nostalgia
•Oral history and the culture of the witness
•Memory and the politics of identity

Journal of Postcolonial Writing http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~db=all~content=g901732589~tab=summary
The Journal of Postcolonial Writing (previously World Literature Written in English) is an academic journal devoted to the study of literature written in English and published throughout the world. In particular it aims to explore the interface between the postcolonial writing of the modern global era and the economic forces of production which increasingly commodify culture.
This approach embraces the deterritorialised nationalisms, the new ethnicities which intersect with and cut across national boundaries, 'new margins' created by global economic practices, global technologies and commodities, and redefinitions of the local that globalisation catalyses. A particular focus is on the reshaping of inner maps of the metropolis through the ethnic, diasporic voices and the alternative and interstitial modes of writing associated with the new margins.
The Journal of Postcolonial Writing interrogates assumptions underpinning postcolonial theory and its liberationist rhetoric by focussing upon the discursive practices informing contemporary writing and the impact of the global, the regional, and the local upon each other. Our concern is with the conditions under which a resistant 'global imagination' comes into being.
We welcome critical, theoretically informed articles which will address the postcolonial in its relation to the global and open up new perspectives. These can emerge from examining the work of individual writers, critiquing contemporary theories of the postcolonial and globalisation, or revisiting classical texts of literature and canonical theories from a range of postcolonial and global perspectives.
In addition Journal of Postcolonial Writing aims to publish:
1. Interviews and profiles of postcolonial writers and theorists.
2. Reviews of critical studies of contemporary writing.
3. Selections of poetry and short prose fiction.
Journal of Postcolonial Writing is a member of the Canadian Association of Learned Journals and the Council of Editors of Learned Journals. It is indexed in the American Humanities Index, the MLA International Bibliography, the Journal of Commonwealth Literature and in AUSTLIT, the Australian Literature On-line Database.
Volume 43, Issue 3 of Journal of Postcolonial Writing is available as an online sample issue. http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~content=t713735330~tab=sample~db=all
