Crossings: Journal of Migration and Culture
Aims and Scope
Crossings: Journal of Migration and Culture
(http://bit.ly/crossings) situates
itself at the interface of Migration Studies and Cultural Studies. The
terminology and key concepts in use in discourses on migration have yet
to be sufficiently theorized or understood from theoretical perspectives
linked to cultural studies, although migration is intrinsically linked to
questions of culture. The course of cultures at both local and global
levels is crucially affected by migratory movements. In turn, culture
itself is turned migrant.
This journal’s scope is global, with a predominant focus on
migration and culture from the latter half of the twentieth century to
the present-day. Apart from the inclusion of refereed articles,
Crossings: Journal of Migration and Culture
(http://bit.ly/crossings )also
includes a section of reviews of films, music, photography, exhibitions
or books on migration-related topics, interviews with cultural
practitioners who focus on migration-related topics, and oral histories
of migrant cultural experiences.
In addition to numerous features and a lively reviews section, the
inaugural issue includes articles ‘Cinematic representations of diaspora:
Italians and Jews’, ‘Moving from silence in to speech: Palestinian
refugee women speak about their lives’ and Noel B. Salazar’s ‘Towards an
anthropology of cultural mobilities’.
The first 3 articles are available for FREE online:
