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.


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 Journal is now inviting submissions for issues 2.1 and 2.2. Issue 
2.1 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*.

Issue 2.2 is an open topic issue and the deadline for submissions is 
*February 15, 2017*.

Please make sure that your submission corresponds to the journal’s style 
sheet which can be found at the following address:

Furthermore, the journal continues to accept nominations 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 for wanting to be involved in this project to
