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.
