Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 crisis, the ENN6 Conference had to be postponed. We are now able to announce that 

‘Gaslight’ Narratives in Virtual Landscapes: Narratological Implications of Technologically Mediated and Immersive Media 

will take place from September 15-16 2021 (pre-conference doctoral seminar: September 14 2021). 

We appreciate each author and researcher’s contribution to the Journal of Narrative and Language Studies; and would like to grant the erudite work of our devoted reviewers, whose commitments, we believe, have promoted the standards in the selection of the excellent work. Please let us remind that manuscript submission is still open for the next issue; NALANS Volume 8 Number 14, March 2020. http://www.nalans.com/index.php/nalans/i
