[ecrea] Call for submissions and reviewers - IAFOR Journal of Cultural Studies

*Call for submissions and reviewers*

The /IAFOR Journal of Cultural Studies/ solicits scholarship in the
broad areas of culture, social development, the arts, digital
communities, philosophy and similar.

While much of the Journal’s focus rests on Asia, it encourages
contributions from all across the globe, thereby establishing links
between intercultural and transcultural phenomena and fostering their
analysis. Asia is a continent constantly evolving within a restive world
and one, if not the main, motor of the drive for change today. It is the
aim of this journal to provide challenging and incisive commentary to
accompany this process.

The IAFOR Journal of Cultural Studies is an open access peer-reviewed
journal for developing topics, threads and nodes of cultural
understanding. The journal recognises that Cultural Studies is
necessarily hybrid and fluid in nature and that even the establishment
of common research fields (itself a highly contested exercise) will do
little to discipline it. This however does not relieve Cultural Studies
of the necessary reflection upon its own histories and present-day
status quo. As cultures are becoming increasingly mediated, ample space
will be provided for those interventions highlighting the relationship
between (media) technology and culture. It is hoped that some of these
discussions will take place in the virtual pages of this journal and
that these theoretical interventions will stimulate and facilitate
further research.

The Journal is now inviting submissions for issues 2 and 3. Issue 2 is
an open topic issue and the deadline is *April 29 2016*.

Issue 3 is a themed issue, with the topic “Cultural Struggle and Praxis:
Negotiating Power and the Everyday”. The deadline for submissions for
this issue is *October 14 2016*. Please make sure that your submission
corresponds to the journal’s style sheet which can be found at the
following address:

Furthermore, the journal is presently looking for reviewers and a review
editor. If you think you would like to be involved in this process,
please send an email with a short description of yourself, your research
and the reasons why you would like to be involved in this project to the
journal editor, holger.briel(at)gmail.com <http://gmail.com>
