Cultural Studies ↔ Critical Methodologies

Cultural Studies ó Critical Methodologies publishes peer-reviewed research articles, critical analyses of contemporary media representations, posthuman and new materialist inquiry, critical and performance ethnography, and creative non-fiction, among other areas of critical inquiry. Cultural Studies ó Critical Methodologies provides an explicit forum for the intersections of cultural studies, critical interpretive research methodologies, and cultural critique. The aim of the journal is to connect critical cultural studies research with a necessary focus on the practices, politics, and philosophies of inquiry that underpin the research act.

Published six times per year, Cultural Studies ó Critical Methodologies is an interdisciplinary journal drawing from those scholarly traditions in the social sciences and the humanities which are premised on a critical, performance-based cultural studies agenda. Preference is given to experimental, risk-taking manuscripts which reside at the intersection of interpretive theory, critical methodology, culture, media, history, biography, and social structure.

The mandate for this interdisciplinary, international journal is to move methods talk in cultural studies to the forefront, into the regions of moral discourse. The arrows that connect the two sides of our title designate this dialogical relationship between inquiry, critique, and methodological practice. Works will take up such methodological and moral issues as the local and the global, text and context, voice, writing for the other, and the presence of the author in the text. 

The commitment to imagine a more democratic society has been a guiding feature of cultural studies from the very beginning. Cultural Studies ó Critical Methodologies understands that the discourses of a critical cultural studies methodology are basic to any effort to re-engage the promise of the social sciences and the humanities for democracy in the 21st Century.
