NEWS: Summer 2011
Cultural Politics is now published by Duke University Press.
Cultural Politics (ISSN: 1743-2197) 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 presents unique projects by visual artists that reflect contemporary cultural and political issues, solicited and edited by New York artist Joy Garnett (Arts Editor for Cultural Politics' first year of publication was the artist Louise K. Wilson). Currently in print are projects by Nancy Spero, Paul Chan, Zoe Leonard, Stephen Andrews, Julia Meltzer & David Thorne, Carrie Moyer, David Humphrey, and others.
Cultural Politics is published three times a year in March, July and November by Duke University Press. It's first seven volumes (March 2005 - November 2011) were published by Berg (Oxford, UK). It is co-edited by John Armitage, University of Northumbria, Douglas Kellner, University of California at Los Angeles, and Ryan Bishop, National University of Singapore.
