Palimpsest is a peer-reviewed journal of interdisciplinary inquiry. The editors seek submissions of innovative interpretive analyses in all fields. Essays may be drawn from any humanities, social science, or other fields including history, literature, philosophy, environment, psychology, sociology, fine arts, language, economics, business, and medicine. A palimpsest is a manuscript on which the original text has been rubbed or scraped away and written over, with shadows and nuances of the original text sometimes visible underneath. As a metaphor for our journal, a palimpsest describes the state of text in the information age: shadows, traces, and pluralities of texts shaped by the input of many minds and voices. There is no pristine text but nuances of other texts visible underneath and written over. As a critical metaphor, Palimpsest is meant to suggest that all areas of study have multiple layers of meaning, which the scholar may discover by “rubbing away” the old to reveal new insight. Palimpsest seeks to establish a dynamic forum for interdisciplinary discourse in the search of new paradigms and ways of seeing.
Papers may be submitted for consideration using any citation format; the final format for those accepted will be submitted in a modified version of the Chicago Manual of Style. The author’s name should appear only on the title page and in the file name of the submitted document (jones.doc). Manuscript length is standard, from 6,000 to 8,000 words. Online submissions are encouraged as attachments in doc or rtf files. For safe delivery please write “Palimpsest submission” in the subject line.
