Interstice: Text, Theory and the World is a peer-reviewed journal committed to the study of literature through contemporary critical theory. It proceeds from the premise that meaning does not reside within the text alone, but emerges in the dynamic interplay between text, interpretation and the world.

The journal foregrounds these interstitial spaces as sites of inquiry, where language, form and context converge to produce meaning that is contingent, unstable and open to negotiation. In doing so, Interstice engages literature as a site through which questions of power, identity, representation and knowledge are continually constituted and contested.

Interstice seeks to bring into dialogue rigorous literary analysis and evolving theoretical inquiry, inviting work that both draws on established critical traditions and engages with newer and emergent frameworks across diverse textual and cultural contexts.

The journal welcomes submissions engaging with, but not limited to, postcolonial and decolonial theory, feminist, queer and gender studies, Marxist and materialist criticism, psychoanalytic approaches, structuralist and post-structuralist thought, as well as contemporary developments such as ecocriticism, affect theory, critical race studies, disability studies, digital humanities and related interdisciplinary approaches.
