Osnabrück University
Student Literary Magazine
Welcome to Area 41: The Anglosphere!
As members of the English department at the IfAA, we're excited to introduce a magazine that embodies the unique spirit of our college experience. The aim of Area 41 is to mark and maintain a space where the voices and creative identities of students and faculty can be shared and celebrated.
Area 41 is a community. Whether through submitting a fictional tale, sharing your experiences abroad, or offering resonance for others’ artistic expression, it is our magazine and everyone who interfaces with and through Area 41 is an integral part.
The editing team proudly presents the second issue of our magazine!
We hope you will enjoy reading your fellow students’ texts and seeing their artwork as much as we did when compiling this semester’s edition.
We would like to use this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to this magazine, whether your submission made it to this final version or not. Area 41: The Anglosphere only exists because of the talented student body and faculty at the IfAA!
Our intent has always been to create a platform for everyone at the IfAA to share their imagination and thoughts and we would like to encourage everyone to embrace their creativity and to be confident in their artistic abilities.
As a small student-led initiative, we appreciate all the great feedback, the support and submissions we have received over the past few months. We are already looking forward to seeing what the next issue will bring.
Do you want to know what it feels like to be part of our team and the creation of the magazine and then to finally hold the product of all your work in your hands? We’d be happy to hear from you via Instagram or email to join our editing team! Or just talk to any of us if you see us around in building 41 (aka Area 41 :D).
