Textpraxis publishes contributions from all philological disciplines on the topics of literature and society, theories of literary studies and literary studies and practice. Since Textpraxis is an Open Access Journal, all articles are immediately accessible for free.

A new issue of Textpraxis appears every six months. Responses to articles already published are highly appreciated and will be published continuously.

In the spirit of a collaborative scientific understanding, Textpraxis neglects an anonymous peer review process and instead leads reviewers and authors into a productive dialogue. Registered readers can participate in this dialogue through comments once the article has been published.

More information about Textpraxis can be found under Concept.
