About

The editors started SCRIPT in late 2009 to explore the last frontier of literary studies — namely, the theory and interpretation of filmscripts and teleplays — and to challenge the alterity of these forms. And since these literary artifacts exist in a hinterland populated by other abject textual forms, SCRIPT also cultivates close readings of, and critical investigations into, code arrays, asemic writing, graffiti, tattoos, and other marginal(ized) scripted utterances.

By publishing interviews with screen and television writers, and excerpts from and responses to their work, SCRIPT challenges the ignominy of each in the literary community and articulates the roles they play in the contemporary narrative marketplace. SCRIPT's interviews with code poets, asemic and tattoo artists, and graffiti writers — as well as the publication of their work and responses to it — serve similar purposes.

As popular-academic hybrid, SCRIPT publishes belletristic work that blends academic rigor with the style of (new) journalism. Intellectually challenging and jargon light, we cater our content toward an educated lay audience. As a web-based journal, SCRIPT can also publish all manner of (hyper)media including: images, sounds, animations, and videos. Such things support written articles and serve as "essays" in their own rights.
