Colloquy: text critique theory, a journal produced by Monash postgraduates, has been offering insights into young researchers' areas of investigation for eight years. The journal also provides a much needed opportunity for post-graduates to have their work published in a fully refereed journal. This email is a Call For Papers for the 2004 issue. Any papers written by post-graduate students on literature and literary theory or discourse and culture will be considered for publication.
