Satura has a home at the English Department of the University of Münster. The journal was founded by students of two of the Master programs available at the university: British, American and Postcolonial Studies, and National and Transnational Studies. Here you can find the main principles of the journal’s work and existence.
Satura is dedicated to writing and visual art done by students in English. The journal consists of several parts dedicated to academic research, book reviews, creative nonfiction, creative fiction, and poetry. Some of the articles we publish were born on the intersections between Political Studies and Linguistics, Media Studies, Anthropology and Cultural Studies. In this way Satura celebrates and encourages the intersectionalities of different fields of Humanities.
Our online presence brings us closer to readers around the world. We can reach a wider audience via Twitter (@JournalSatura), Instagram and our website. This allows us to build a platform for Creative and Academic exchange around the world.
We are thrilled to announce the release of Satura Volume 6: On Homeness.
This edition dives deep into the many facets of what it means to belong, to feel at home — and we couldn’t be prouder of the incredible work that’s gone into it.
Huge thanks to our talented writers, dedicated editors, and the entire Satura team for making this vision a reality.
Read more about Release Volume 6: On Homeness
On Homeness is an attempt to understand the dimensions of our belonging; whether we locate ourselves in regards to conceptions of a deity, an imagined national collective, a hectare of ancestral land, a music playlist, or a dish that accommodates one’s elusive self.. The feeling of homeness can be found in all sorts of unexpected places.
Home, as a solitary designation, implies an emphasis on the physicality of home. Beyond this outdated reality lies a plethora of unexplored emotions.
The neologism 'homeness' suggests exile, pilgrimage, shelter, safety, and beyond.
