Current Writing: Text and Reception in Southern Africa
Current Writing is published by the Southern African Literature and Culture Centre, with assistance from the English Department, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa. The journal is recognised by the South African university research incentive system as subsidy-earning.
Current Writing focuses on literary and cultural debate around contemporary and re-published texts from southern Africa, and on the interpretation of world texts from a southern African perspective. Hence, the subtitle, Text and Reception in Southern Africa.
Between 1989 and 1992 the journal appeared annually, and since 1993 has appeared twice a year. The October issues present articles on a particular topic or theme, and the April issues are 'open' to a range of interests.
Each issue has a reviews section designed to keep readers up to date with pertinent local and international publications.
Current Writing attracts contributions from leading scholars in the fields of southern African literary-cultural studies and postcolonial studies.
