ABSTRACT

This is a ‘research editorial.’ It expounds the curatorial values that inform editing decisions for the Journal of Language Literature and Culture in 2020, setting them in a context of current scholarly debates and culture. Its main contribution to knowledge is also the JLLC’s main contribution: to embody the active recognition of the importance of a plenary function for journals such as this one. The article frames scholarly practices as balancing a value or ethos of plenitude against the alternative norms of scholarly specialisation, where each function is critical to the viability of the whole. Within that balance, a journal such as JLLC is needed for its capacity to convene scholarly discussions that span the fields of Language, Literature, and Culture. It underscores the importance for our diverse scholarly community of taking an interest in each other’s work, publishing articles that are framed generously, to reach out to readers who are curious beyond an author’s specialised field.

摘要

这是“研究社论”。它阐述了策展价值，这些价值为2020年《语言文学与文化杂志》的编辑决策提供了依据，并将其置于当前学术辩论和文化的背景下。它对知识的主要贡献也是JLLC的主要贡献：体现积极认识到全体职能对此类期刊的重要性。本文将学术实践构想为平衡价值或精神与学术专业化的替代规范之间的平衡，其中每个职能对于整体生存至关重要。在此余额范围内，诸如JLLC的期刊需要其能力来进行跨语言，文学和文化领域的学术讨论。它强调了我们多元化的学术界对彼此的工作产生兴趣，慷慨地发表文章的重要性，以吸引对作者专业领域以外的知识感兴趣的读者。
