Aims & Scope


The Australasian Journal of Popular Cultureis a double-blind 
peer-reviewed journal devoted to the scholarly understanding of everyday 
cultures. It is concerned with the study of the social and cultural 
meanings that are produced and circulated through everyday media and 
practices as products of consumption. It explores popular narratives and 
iconographies as intellectual objects of inquiry, and as integral 
components of the dynamic forces that shape societies and identities. 
The journal publishes articles that focus on Australasian examples, as 
well as broader critical and comparative topics viewed through a global 
lens.
