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.

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.
