Cultural Studies - Critical Methodologies

The mandate for this interdisciplinary, international journal is to move methods talk in cultural studies to the forefront, into the regions of moral, ethical and political discourse. The commitment to imagine a more democratic society has been a guiding feature of cultural studies from the very beginnnig. Contributors to this journal understand that the discourses of a critical, moral methodology are basic to any effort to re-engage the promise of the social sciences and the humanities for democracy in the 21st Century. We seek works that connect critical emanicipatory theories to new forms of social justice and democratic practice are encouraged. Manuscripts which stand at the intersection of critical moral discourse, experimental, interpretative methodology, and cultural criticism are sought. Preference is given to texts which combine ethnographic, performative, and textual approaches to the study of popular culture, and include the media as well as the new communication and information technologies. Cultural Studies <-> Critical Methodologies transcends disciplines and crosses ethnic, gender and paradigmatic boundaries to produce an inclusive vision that is vital to today's interpretative practices in the human disciplines. The journal publishes open-peer refereed articles that experiment with new writing forms, including autoethnography, ethnodrama, ethnographic poetry, performance texts, creative nonfiction, interpretative essays, and cultural criticism. The journal welcomes critical, reflective essays as well.
