Journal

Invitation to

Journal
for Cultural Research is an international
journal, based in Lancaster University’s Institute for Cultural Research (http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fss/cultres/). It is
interested in essays concerned with the conjuncture between culture and the many
domains and practices in relation to which it is usually defined,
including:
Culture is no longer,
if it ever was, singular. It denotes a shifting multiplicity of signifying
practices and value systems that provide a potentially infinite resource of
academic critique, investigation and ethnographic or market research into
cultural difference, cultural autonomy, cultural emancipation and the cultural
aspects of power. As such, culture has itself become, in many areas, a primary
instrument of government and thus the desire not to be governed is impelled to
think culture differently from the accepted forms of cultural identity and
recognition. In the academy, research has become a defining feature of the
cultural just as the cultural has become indistinguishable from questions
concerning the governable.
The journal publishes
original essays by established and emerging writers around the globe who are
developing the future of cultural theory and research in the 21st century. We
encourage writing that explores every aspect of cultural experience, experiences
that occur in the correlation between fields of knowledge, types of normativity,
and forms of subjectivity in different domains and locations around the world.
