Journal: Metamorphoses - Special Arab World Issue (2010)
Metamorphoses, the journal of the Five College Faculty Seminar on Literary Translation, welcomes submissions of previously unpublished translations of poetry and prose from Arabic and from other languages of the Arab World, including Berber, Aramaic, etc., French Spanish, Italian from former colonies and the Diaspora. We cannot for this issue consider translations from Farsi or turkish. We also welcome essays on issues of language and translation, in film and music as well as in literature.
All translations must be from the original language. We expect translators to be competent in the language of the original text or to be working closely with someone who is. Metamorphoses is primarily a journal for translation into English, but we welcome translations from English into another language, and we will consider translations from any original-language text into any other language. We publish translations of works that have been translated recently and well only if the translation is different from and at least as good as what is already available.
Submissions should be accompanied by short biographical information about both the source language writer and the translator. Contributors are responsible for securing permission to publish a translation, and, in the case of poetry, to reprint the original text, from all copyright holders. The translator retains copyright; we ask only that prior publication in Metamorphoses be acknowledged. We reserve the right to edit punctuation according to U.S. standard practice and to make minor syntactical changes when they would not affect meaning. More substantial changes require the consent of the contributor.
The opinions expressed on our pages are understood to reflect only the views of their authors.
Anyone wishing to reproduce the material in this journal must request permission to reprint from Metamorphoses. If you wish to have your submission returned, please enclose a self-addressed envelope with sufficient postage.
All submissions and inquiries should be addressed to:
