Monograph Journalism and Literature

17-05-2021

Although journalism and literature share a long and complex history, many years passed before the relationship between the two was considered an object of academic study. By the end of the 19th century, what would later become known as literary journalism was already being practised in various countries. From that period until the present day, this relationship has not been free of controversy. Nevertheless, they have been enriching for both disciplines, and continue to be so today, which has given rise to a wide diversity of writings. These range from the earliest stories to the new narratives of the digital age which, especially in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, are thriving thanks to the new technologies. The proposed monograph welcomes all types of proposals that deal with the interaction between journalism and literature, from approaches that are both diachronic as well as interdisciplinary or innovative.
