*About Cultural Politics*

"Cultural Politics is a welcome and innovative addition. In an academic universe already well populated with journals, it is carving out its own unique place---broad and a bit quirky. It likes to leap between the theoretical and the concrete, so that it is never boring and often filled with illuminating glimpses into the intellectual and cultural worlds." Lawrence Grossberg, University of North Carolina, USA.

*Edited by

John Armitage*, Northumbria University, UK
*Ryan Bishop*, Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton, UK
*Douglas Kellner*, University of California, Los Angeles, USA

*Cultural Politics* is an international, refereed journal that explores the global character and effects of contemporary culture and politics. It analyzes how cultural identities, agencies and actors, political issues and conflicts, and global media are linked, characterized, examined and resolved. In doing so, the journal explores precisely what is cultural about politics and what is political about culture. It investigates the marginalized and outer regions of this complex and interdisciplinary subject area.

Each issue publishes artwork by selected artists reflecting contemporary cultural and political issues.

*WANT TO SUBMIT AN ARTICLE OR BOOK REVIEW?*

*Manuscripts*

Manuscripts should be submitted via e-mail to /Cultural Politics/ at (j.armitage /at/ unn.ac.uk) <mailto:(j.armitage /at/ unn.ac.uk)> and (r.bishop /at/ soton.ac.uk) <mailto:(r.bishop /at/ soton.ac.uk)>.

Manuscripts will be acknowledged by the editor and entered into the review process described below. Submission of a manuscript to the journal will be taken to imply that it is not being considered elsewhere for publication and that if accepted for publication, it will not be published elsewhere, in the same form, in any language, without the consent of the editor and publisher. It is a condition of acceptance by the editor of a manuscript for publication that the publishers automatically acquire the copyright of the published article throughout the world. /Cultural Politics/ does not pay authors for their manuscripts, nor does it provide retyping, drawing, or mounting of illustrations.
