Critical Arts

期刊简介：From its inception, Critical Arts examined the relationship between texts and contexts, cultural formations and popular forms of expression, mainly within Africa, but after the 1994 transition in South Africa Critical Arts repositioned itself as a cultural and media studies journal . It extended its remit to include the South-North and East-West nexus, focusing on developing transdisciplinary epistemologies. Cutting edge theorisation (supported by empirical evidence) rather than the reporting of formulaic case studies are the preferred submissions. Submissions are sought from both established and new researchers, and recent topics have included political economy of the media, political communication, aboriginal indigeneity, the ethnographic turn in art, and of course cultural media studies. Submissions must, perhaps, aim to restore and develop the vision of earlier theorists and historians, for whom ‘culture’ was a kind of synthesis arising from the contradictions and complexities between and within human societies and the politics of nations. Under the pressures of globalization, this kind of understanding and meaning making becomes more relevant at every turn. Critical Arts seeks to profile those approaches to issues that are amenable to a cultural studies-derived interventions, on the basis that ‘culture’ is a dynamic marker of deeper and shifting continuities, the immediate and often rapid conflicts under the fire of which so many must somehow live their lives. Early contributions of Critical Arts can be accessed via the Michigan State University eJournals project: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ This journal uses Routledge'sSubmission Portalto manage the submission process.

【译文】从一开始，《批判艺术》就主要在非洲研究文本与语境、文化形态和流行表达形式之间的关系，但在 1994 年南非转型后，《批判艺术》将自己重新定位为一份文化和媒体研究期刊。它将其职权范围扩展到包括南北和东西方的联系，重点是发展跨学科认识论。首选的提交材料是前沿理论（由经验证据支持），而不是公式化案例研究的报告。现有研究人员和新研究人员都在征集意见，最近的主题包括媒体政治经济学、政治传播、原住民、艺术的民族志转向，当然还有文化媒体研究。也许，提交的内容必须旨在恢复和发展早期理论家和历史学家的视野，对他们来说，“文化”是人类社会和国家政治之间及其内部的矛盾和复杂性所产生的一种综合体。在全球化的压力下，这种理解和意义的创造在任何时候都变得更加重要。批判艺术试图描述那些适合文化研究干预的问题的方法，其基础是“文化”是更深层次和不断变化的连续性的动态标记，是许多人必须以某种方式生活的直接而迅速的冲突。批判艺术的早期贡献可以通过密歇根州立大学电子期刊项目获取：http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ 该期刊使用 Routledge 的提交门户来管理提交过程。通过提交门户，您可以在一个地方查看 Taylor & Francis 期刊组合中您提交的内容。要提交您的手稿，请点击此处。请注意，提交论文即表示您同意在同行评审和制作过程中接受原创性检查。
