The Middle East Journal of Culture and Communication, now in its seventh 
year, is a platform for interdisciplinary scholarly work that explores 
transformations in culture, communication, and politics in the Middle 
East and North Africa. The Journal aims to challenge the traditional 
paradigms used to understand media and the Middle East, seeing 
“communication” as extending beyond the study of media in the 
traditional sense.

MEJCC welcomes contributions from international scholars engaged with 
the Middle East within various academic disciplines and using diverse 
approaches, whether as articles or reviews of films, books (including 
novels), and exhibitions.

MEJCC is seeking papers critically addressing (though not exclusive to) 
the following:

- the old and new media in all their forms (the broadcast media, the 
print media, electronic media, and film), whether in or about the Middle 
East

- processes of communication in geographical space in the Middle East 
(including street art, posters and architecture)

- popular culture in the Middle East

- the relationship between the media and communication practices and 
political and social processes in the region

- the cultural practices through which power is expressed and politics 
is performed.



MEJCC is a peer-reviewed journal published by Brill three times a year 
(http://www.brill.com/middle-east-journal-culture-and-communication). We 
publish open issues and themed issues. Our latest themed issue this year 
was on Palestine and the Moving Image. The forthcoming one will be about 
popular icons in the Middle East.



Contributions are accepted on a rolling basis and should be original 
work which has neither been simultaneously submitted for publication 
elsewhere nor published previously (unless it’s a translation of work 
published in another language). Manuscripts should be submitted through 
Editorial Manager, which can be accessed via: 
http://www.editorialmanager.com/mjcc/



Informal queries can be addressed to the current managing editor Dina 
Matar: (dm27 /at/ soas.ac.uk)

Book Review queries can be addressed to the book reviews editor Sune 
Haugbolle: (suneha /at/ ruc.dk)
