*Cultural Politics* is an international, refereed journal that explores 
the global character and effects of contemporary culture and politics. 
It analyzes how cultural identities, agencies and actors, political 
issues and conflicts, and global media are linked, characterized, 
examined and resolved. In doing so, the journal explores precisely what 
is cultural about politics and what is political about culture. It 
investigates the marginalized and outer regions of this complex and 
interdisciplinary subject area.

Each issue publishes artwork by selected artists reflecting contemporary 
cultural and political issues.
