*About /Conjunctions. Transdisciplinary Journal of Cultural 
Participation/**:*

The journal seeks to create an international and transdisciplinary forum 
for the investigation of user-generated cultural production and 
user-driven cultural participation across a variety of social fields and 
platforms, e.g. urban spaces, aesthetic co-productions and online 
environments.

The overall focus is to explore the socially transformative and 
democratic potential of cultural participation processes, to qualify the 
academic understanding of what ‘cultural participation’ is and what it 
involves, and to discuss the complex relations created between 
user-generated material and established institutions.

We invite submissions from a variety of disciplinary fields such as 
cultural studies, media studies, cultural geography, aesthetics, science 
and technology studies, health care, information science, sociology, 
anthropology, and gender studies.

All articles are open access and published on De Gruyter’s Sciendo 
platfom after a double-blind review process.
