> areas of linguistics, literature, performing and visual arts, media,
> material culture, intellectual and cultural history, critical and
> cultural theory, psychoanalysis, gender studies, social sciences,
> anthropology. Two guest-edited monographic issues and one open issue are
> published each year. The primary focus is on those parts of the world
> that speak French, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese but work on other
> cultures may be included. Most issues cross national and disciplinary
> boundaries in order to stimulate new ways of thinking about cultural
> history and practice.
