[INDOLOGY] Call for Translation Articles

[Pranav Prakash]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,



I am delighted to announce that the *Journal of Hindu Studies*
<https://academic.oup.com/jhs?__cf_chl_f_tk=wOzHbtqu1MhUviE3tswwhDSzcSPHITHFKHqRsZzABJI-1783063901-1.0.1.1-5t256b0xZ2j_mNTMs.PThJ73csqeu8UI4G1S3e1IoSI>
(*JHS*) is now welcoming ‘Translation Articles’ that feature translations
of short texts, or self-contained extracts from longer works, from any
South Asian languages relevant to Hindu Studies broadly construed.



Although translations have always played a crucial role in shaping Hindu
Studies and all allied disciplines within humanities, arts and social
sciences, there remains a notable paucity of established venues for
publishing article-length translations that are rigorously reviewed and
globally accessible. The *JHS* has therefore committed itself to publishing
a new series of “Translation Articles” that are eminently reliable,
readable and consequential for academic scholarship.



Translation Articles should include a scholarly introduction that
highlights the context and significance of the translated work and
elaborates upon the self-reflective craft of the translator. If necessary,
the introduction may be accompanied by commentary, critical apparatus
and/or annotations. Authors should supply Roman transliteration of the
translated work in a Unicode font. Submissions should be no more than 12000
words in length (including transliteration and bibliography).



Submissions can feature a range of genres, themes and disciplines — from
poetry and folklore to scholastic and religious literature, and beyond. The
journal envisions Hindu Studies as a profoundly capacious, inclusive and
ethical field of inquiry and encourages submissions that expand the
critical contours of Hindu Studies. We have, so far, published “A Muslamānī
Matron of Cholera in Bengal <https://doi.org/10.1093/jhs/hiae014>” by Utsa
Bose and Tony K. Stewart, “The Nyāyamañjarī’s Arguments Against the
Existence of God <https://doi.org/10.1093/jhs/hiad025>” by Alex Watson and
Kei Kataoka, and “*Prameya-Ratnārṇava *of Bālakṛṣṇa Bhaṭṭa
<https://doi.org/10.1093/jhs/hiaf023>” by Ankur Barua. We invite
submissions that affirm our commitment to pluralistic, democratic and
equitable ethos.



The *JHS* also welcomes proposals to publish special issues comprised of
Translation Articles.



In consonance with *JHS* standards, all Translation Articles accepted for
review will receive a minimum of two double-blind peer reviews. Reviewers
will evaluate the quality, accuracy and ingenuity of the translation, as
well as the merits of the scholarly introduction, critical commentary and
any supplementary materials accompanying the translation.



If you are interested in contributing a Translation Article, or proposing a
special issue, please email us at jhstranslations at ochs.org.uk.



With warm regards,

Pranav
