Dear Colleagues
Seasons greetings to you all.
Just a quick notice to announce the publication of a special edition of the Journal of European of Popular the theme of which is 'austerity culture'. The journal draws together articles from a range of disciplines tackling how the discourses of austerity permeate and shape the current socio-cultural zeitgeist, often in an unchallenged way. Areas discussed include higher education, art, documentary, architecture, politics and cultural identity and the articles all make interesting and relevant interventions into what is arguably the dominant narrative of our age.
