The Making of the Margins Heard: Alternating Polyvocality

We are pleased to publish the current issue of Nalans Journal, which features a selection of original articles. This academic collection exemplifies the vitality and diversity of research in languages and literature, bringing together scholars, educators, and academics from various disciplines to exchange ideas, foster collaborations, and contribute to meaningful discussions. The contributions in this issue showcase the intellectual endeavours and creative insights that have shaped our international cooperation on narratives across boundaries and the marginal inquiry into polyvocality, providing readers with a rich resource that captures the dynamic intersections of language and literary studies.

We extend our special appreciation to Anbar University, Iraq, among other institutions, for providing a platform for experienced scholars and emerging researchers to engage with critical inquiries, propose innovative approaches, and explore the impact of language and literature on our understanding of the world. Their valuable contributions and support have enhanced the significance of this volume, uniting a collection of works that reflect multidisciplinarity and geodiversity in narrative studies.

We express our gratitude to the proofreaders and manuscript editors from NYDK Proofreading Services. Furthermore, we thank the reviewers, section editors and copyeditors of Nalans Journal for their invaluable assistance and guidance throughout the publication process. Their expertise and meticulous attention to detail have been instrumental in bringing this issue to fruition. Their patience, professional insights, and academic recommendations have been a driving force behind the successful completion of this publication.
