Description
CR: The New Centennial Review is devoted to comparative studies of the Americas that suggest possibilities for a different future. CR is published three times a year under the editorship of Scott Michaelsen (Department of English, Michigan State University) and David E. Johnson (Department of Comparative Literature, SUNY at Buffalo; Instituto de Humanidades, Universidad Diego Portales, Santiago, Chile).
The journal recognizes that the language of the Americas is translation, and that questions of translation, dialogue, and border crossings (linguistic, cultural, national, and the like) are necessary for rethinking the foundations and limits of the Americas. Journal articles address philosophically inflected interventions, provocations, and insurgencies that question the existing configuration of the Americas, as well as global and theoretical work with implications for the hemisphere.
WE CURRENTLY ARE SOLICITING WORK FOR SPECIAL ISSUES ON THE FOLLOWING TOPICS
- Pablo Oyarzún
- Geo Graphe
- Philosophical Nationalisms
- What Survives of Jean-Luc Nancy?

Submission Information
CR: The New Centennial Review is devoted to comparative studies of the Americas that suggest possibilities for a different future. CR recognizes that the language of the Americas is translation, and that questions of translation, dialogue, and border crossings (linguistic, cultural, national, and the like) are necessary for rethinking the foundations and limits of the Americas. Journal articles address philosophically inflected interventions, provocations, and insurgencies that question the existing configuration of the Americas, as well as global and theoretical work with implications for the hemisphere.
CR is committed to interdisciplinarity and encourages work that goes beyond a simple performance of the strategies of various disciplines and interdisciplines, and that therefore interrogates them.
CR is a refereed journal. We take approximately two to three months to read and comment on unsolicited manuscripts.
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION & SUBMISSION
Articles can be submitted via email attachment to either editor. After your work has been accepted for publication, please prepare your manuscript for production following the MSU Press Journals style guide. If your piece is accepted for publication, you will be asked to agree to the terms of the Author Publishing Agreement before publication. All images must comply with the MSU Press Images & Derivative Materials policy, found below.
When preparing your submission, follow The Chicago Manual of Style, author-date system (chapter 15). References in text should be cited parenthetically as “(Wilson 1995)” or, if a page number is necessary as in the case of a quotation, “(Wilson 1995, 166).” The form “Wilson (1995) suggests that . . .” is also acceptable. Use italics, not underlines, to indicate italics. Endnotes—not footnotes—may be used for explanatory material only and must be numbered consecutively.
