History
symplokē was founded in 1993 by Jeffrey R. Di Leo, who continues to serve as its editor-in-chief. The journal's name derives from the Greek word symplokē (συμπλοκή), meaning "interweaving, interlacing, connection, and struggle."[1]
The journal is published and distributed in association with the University of Nebraska Press. Complete articles are available on Project MUSE from Volume 5 (1997) through the current issue, and archival content is available through JSTOR.[2][3]
Scope and mission
symplokē describes itself as "a comparative theory and literature journal, committed to interdisciplinary studies, intellectual pluralism, and open discussion."[1] The journal publishes scholarship examining the interrelations among philosophy, literature, cultural criticism, and intellectual history. Its editors advocate for continuing change in the humanities through the interweaving, connection, and struggle between traditionally independent domains of discourse, promoting a trans- or extra-disciplinary perspective.[4]
The journal publishes thematic issues addressing topics in critical theory and cultural studies. Recent issues have addressed subjects such as "Critical Environments" (2024).[1]
Abstracting and indexing
The journal is abstracted and indexed in:
* Emerging Sources Citation Index (Clarivate)
* MLA – Modern Language Association Database
* IBZ Online (De Gruyter)
* JUFO Portal (Federation of Finnish Learned Societies)[5]
Awards
