The Middle East Journal of Culture and Communication, now in its
second year, is a new 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 (including interactive
communication technologies) and political and social processes in the region
- the cultural practices through which power is expressed and
politics is performed.
MEJCC is published by Brill. The first issue of the Journal can be
accessed free at <http://www.brill.nl/mjcc>www.brill.nl/mjcc.
MEJCC's latest issue deals with political communication in the
Middle East; the forthcoming issue with media, geopolitics and
public diplomacy; and the following one with Palestinian cultural studies.
Contributions should be original work which has neither been
simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere nor published
previously. Manuscripts should be submitted through Editorial
Manager, which can be accessed via:
