*CFP* "CROSS-POLLINATION: LITERATURE, JOURNALISM, LITERARY JOURNALISM", NEXT ISSUE, CADERNOS DE LITERATURA COMPARADA

Intersections between literature and journalism are manifold. Common ground both depends and bears on a set of shared technologies, ranging from verbal language itself to the material resources of manuscript, print and digital communication. Over the centuries, many writers of literature have been professional journalists and learned from the trade – and vice-versa. Periodical publications regularly report on literary activity, even when that is not their main focus, and a number specialize in following literary writing old and new by means of critical reviews, interviews, etc. Simultaneously, literary journalism, understood as a distinctive genre of long narrative non-fiction, or journalism written with a literary flair, has established its ground and produced a canon of acknowledged writers and won a Nobel.

This issue of Cadernos de Literatura Comparada addresses the connections between literature and journalism from an international, plurivocal perspective. 

We welcome articles that cover any of the topics relevant to the general theme of the issue, including (but not limited to) the following:

• literature, journalism and the professionalization of writing
