Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Romance Studies examines literature and culture, with a recurring focus on the intersection of music and text, including the analysis of songs, singers, and musical elements within literary works. It also explores themes of illness, disability, and the body, often through medical humanities and critical disability studies lenses, particularly in relation to gender and societal norms. Furthermore, the journal investigates discourses of degeneration, regeneration, and national identity, especially within historical and post-colonial contexts, and considers the role of translation in conveying these complex literary and cultural ideas.
