The journal welcomes papers on all aspects of the fantastic in English, American, French, Spanish, German and other national literatures, as well as interdisciplinary approaches including music, philosophy, sociology, psychology, political science, and religion. All papers are in English. Click here for the JFA flyer.

If you are an IAFA member and you've got something to share with other members — a story about ICFA or another conference you've attended, a brief review of a book or website you think would be of interest, some cool stuff going on in your personal or professional life you want to share with ICFA friends — just send your content to the editor:

Back Issues

Previous to the creation of the blog, the Newsletter was available in online PDF format, and can be found below. Unless otherwise noted, all digital archive issues are in Acrobat PDF format and require the current version of the Acrobat Reader, freely downloadable from Adobe. Remember, to print the PDF, be sure to click on the PDF viewer's printer button, not on your web browser's printer button.

The IAFA Web is maintained by Graham J. Murphy, Jim Casey, Stefan Ekman, and Len Hatfield on the CATH server at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA. We are grateful for the continuing support of the Center for Applied Technologies in the Humanities, the College of Arts and Sciences, and Information Systems for the use of these facilities.
