*About Cultural Politics*

"Cultural Politics is a welcome and innovative addition.  In an academic 
universe already well populated with journals, it is carving out its own 
unique place---broad and a bit quirky.  It likes to leap between the 
theoretical and the concrete, so that it is never boring and often 
filled with illuminating glimpses into the intellectual and cultural 
worlds." Lawrence Grossberg, University of North Carolina, USA.

*Edited by

John Armitage*, Northumbria University, UK

*Douglas Kellner*, University of California, Los Angeles, USA

*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.

*WANT TO SUBMIT AN ARTICLE OR BOOK REVIEW?*
