About the journal
'Interactions: Studies in Communication and Culture' recognizes the interdisciplinary nature of the fields of media, communication and cultural studies and we therefore encourage diverse themes, subjects, contexts and approaches; empirical, theoretical and historical. Our objective is to engage readers and contributors from different parts of the world in a critical debate on the myriad interconnections and interactions between communication, culture and society at the outset of the twenty first century.
It is our intention to encourage the development of the widest possible scholarly community, both in terms of geographical location and intellectual scope and we will publish leading articles from both established scholars and those at the beginning of their careers.
'Interactions: Studies in Communication and Culture' is a journal published by Intellect. For further information, please visit the journal's webpage at http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Journal,id=165/
