[Commlist] Inaugural Issue of Makings Journal published

Fri Aug 06 11:52:37 GMT 2021






*Inaugural Issue of Makings Journal Released***

**

*We are excited to announce the inaugural issue of the /Makings/ Journal, Volume 2, Issue 1.*

The journal, peer-reviewed and open-access, is centred on the cultural ecologies of the creative industries and practices on the margins of cultural spaces. The contributions to the new issue revolve around ‘Alternativity’. There are seven articles from researchers across the UK, presenting research on ways in which alternativity as a concept can manifest itself in varying contexts and highlighting the significance of the various alternative practices for the creative and cultural industries.

The issue also includes a new addition to the journal, a section which we call /Studio/, dedicated to the publication of shorter think-pieces, observations, and experimental works in different multimedia formats. As a kick-off, in June 2021, we published the first /Studio/ material – a video podcast that critiques the conditions of toxic/alternative masculinity in Pakistan. You can view the podcast here <https://makingsjournal.com/manupplease-sabakarimkhan/>.

All the articles and the editorial can be found here <https://makingsjournal.com/issues/volume-2-issue-1-2021/>.
