Culture, theory and critique/Culture, theory & critique

期刊简介：Culture, Theory and Critique is a refereed, interdisciplinary journal for the transformation and development of critical theories in the humanities and social sciences. It aims to critique and reconstruct theories by interfacing them with one another and by relocating them in new sites and conjunctures. This reconceptualisation of critical theories is achieved by: assessing how well theories emerging from particular spatial, cultural, geographical and historical contexts travel and translate into new conjunctures; confronting theories with their limitations and aporias through immanent critique or application to specific social, political or cultural phenomena; interfacing theories from different intellectual, disciplinary and institutional settings. Given its interdisciplinary character, Culture, Theory and Critique will appeal to anyone working at the interface between disciplines such as anthropology, critical geography, critical race and ethnic studies, cultural studies, ecology, gender, sexuality and queer studies, historiography, literary theory and criticism, film studies, media studies, philosophy, postcolonialism, science and technology studies, social and political theory and visual culture. Culture, Theory and Critique is an international as well as interdisciplinary journal whose success depends on contributions from a variety of sources, so that debate between different perspectives can be stimulated. One of the aims of the journal is to break down theoretical hierarchies and latent intellectual hegemonies. To this end, every endeavour will be made to incorporate perspectives from diverse cultural, intellectual and geographical contexts. We therefore particularly encourage work which addresses and contextualizes theories, texts (including cinema, media, fine arts, scientific treatises, etc.), and ethnographic material produced outside of North America and Western Europe. We also encourage submissions of original English translations or introductions / summaries of critical theory works originally published in other languages. Authors interested in submitting their work should familiarize themselves with previously published articles and issues in Culture, Theory and Critique to ensure submissions fit within the journal’s aims and scope. Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by two anonymous referees.

【译文】《文化、理论和批判》是一本关于人文和社会科学批判理论转型和发展的跨学科期刊。它的目的是通过将理论相互结合并将它们重新安置在新的场所和情境中来批判和重建理论。这种批判理论的重新概念化是通过以下方式实现的：评估从特定空间、文化、地理和历史背景中产生的理论如何传播并转化为新的形势；通过内在的批判或对特定社会、政治或文化现象的应用来面对理论的局限性和困难；连接来自不同知识分子、学科和机构环境的理论。鉴于其跨学科的特点，《文化、理论和批判》将吸引任何在人类学、批判地理学、批判种族和民族研究、文化研究、生态学、性别、性和酷儿研究、史学、文学理论和批评、电影研究、媒体研究、哲学、后殖民主义、科学和技术研究、社会和政治理论和视觉文化等学科之间交叉工作的人。 《文化、理论与批判》是一本国际性跨学科期刊，其成功取决于各种来源的贡献，因此可以激发不同观点之间的辩论。该杂志的目的之一是打破理论等级和潜在的知识霸权。为此，我们将尽一切努力融合来自不同文化、知识和地理背景的观点。因此，我们特别鼓励涉及北美和西欧以外地区产生的理论、文本（包括电影、媒体、美术、科学论文等）和民族志材料并使其背景化的工作。我们还鼓励提交原始英文翻译或最初以其他语言出版的批判理论作品的介绍/摘要。有兴趣提交作品的作者应熟悉以前在文化、理论和批评方面发表的文章和问题，以确保提交的内容符合期刊的目标和范围。同行评审政策：本期刊的所有研究文章都经过严格的同行评审，基于最初的编辑筛选和两名匿名审稿人的匿名审稿。
