Call for Submissions

The Quiet Corner Interdisciplinary Journal is requesting submissions for its

upcoming issue on the topic of narrative as a mechanism for the production
of meaning. Much research in the field of cognitive science has advanced the
notion that narrative itself is the fundamental medium of human
understanding, that we make sense of reality most essentially through telling
stories. This broad and elemental vision of narrative raises intriguing
questions concerning the nature of ‘meaning’ - and by extension ‘truth’,
‘justice’, and so on - as well as its production and use value in human
society. TQC invites authors to explore how stories and storytelling, not
limited to the strictly “literary,” give shape to our experience of social
reality.

Submission Guidelines
Please be sure to include the title of the work and, for scholarly papers, a 250 word
abstract.

Do not include any identifying information about the authors, as the document you
submit will be sent to reviewers.


Submissions must be original works produced by graduate-level students. We welcome

submissions in any and all languages. Papers must follow MLA formatting and citation
guidelines, and should be limited to 20 pages. We do not accept concurrent submissions
or submissions that have been previously published.
 Submissions should be submitted
via the TQC digital platform at www.digitalcommons.uconn.edu/tqc. Any questions or
concerns can be addressed by email to quiet.corner.journal@gmail.com.

Sincerely,
TQC editors
