About this journal

Aims and scope

Word & Image concerns itself with the study of the encounters, dialogues, and mutual collaboration (or hostility) between verbal and visual languages. It provides a forum for articles that focus exclusively on the special study of the relations between words and images from all historical periods and perspectives, both theoretical and practical. Themed issues, guest-edited by specialists in the field, are an occasional feature of the journal.

All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial screening by both editors and anonymized refereeing.

Readership:

Literary critics, art historians and critics, linguisticians, cultural and social historians, philosophers and psychologists, members of academic departments of literature, art history, and media, communication, and cultural studies.
