About the Journal

XX Review: Journal of Gender and Childhood in Literature and Culture is a peer-reviewed journal based in Indonesia that publishes original scholarship at the intersection of gender, childhood, literature, language, and culture. This journal provides a critical forum for examining how women, girls, children, family, care, vulnerability, agency, violence, memory, embodiment, identity, and power are represented, negotiated, and contested in literary texts, linguistic practices, screen media, and wider cultural formations.

This journal is grounded in the humanities while remaining open to interdisciplinary conversations with literary studies, cultural studies, linguistics, gender studies, childhood studies, media studies, film studies, visual studies, discourse studies, translation studies, and related fields. It welcomes theoretically informed, critically engaged, and methodologically rigorous work that advances debates on representation, discourse, aesthetics, ideology, language, and the cultural politics of gender and childhood.
