Article
GLITS-e is an electronic journal of literary and cultural criticism produced in the Department of English & Comparative Literature, Goldsmiths, University of London.
The function of the journal is to publish the best work presented by postgraduate students and other speakers at the Goldsmiths Literature Seminar (GLITS), and at postgraduate conferences organised by the Department. The purpose of the journal, as a forum for new voices, is to make a significant contribution to scholarly and theoretical debate. In serving this end more widely, GLITS-e will occasionally publish shorter pieces of creative writing by postgraduate students within the Department. The administration of GLITS-e, including peer-reviewing, is conducted chiefly by postgraduate research students, with some support from academic staff.
