Journal of Multicultural Discourses

期刊简介：Journal of Multicultural Discourses (JMD) is a premier international journal in discourse studies which aims to enhance cultural diversity, equality and prosperity in social life as well as in scholarship. A forerunner in the cultural politics of language, communication or discourse research, the journal has published over the past five years numerous articles on Asian, African, Latin American, as well as western, approaches to discourses in diverse cultural settings. To consolidate its multicultural-intellectual project and to answer to the challenges of the contemporary times, the journal welcomes papers especially, though not exclusively, on the following subject matters: Cultural dialogue and critique on research perspectives and frameworks Culturally unique, or innovative, approaches Culturally inclusive or pluralist approaches Discourses of cultural marginalization, repression or imperialism Discourses of (under-)development Discourses of cultural transformation Discourses of cultural cooperation or harmony Thoughts on Journal of Multicultural Discourses "The Journal of Multicultural Discourses has become a valuable platform for interdisciplinary debates in today’s multicultural world, featuring contributions from prestigious scholars from around the world. The Journal has published contributions about a range of theories and arguments embedded in a wide array of theoretical and philosophical frameworks that have helped to move debates beyond conventional Western ideas. The Journal has been open to vigorous and lively debates across the social sciences. Editor Shi-xu should be highly commended for deftly editing an important resource for cultural and communication scholars from around the world." - Silvio Waisbord, Editor, Journal of Communication, George Washington University, USA "Few journals have so quickly become standards in their fields as Journal of Multicultural Discourses. In fact, it is almost impossible for any international scholar to be considered seriously in the intellectual mix of contemporary communication questions and issues without reference to the writers who have been assembled in the ten years of outstanding leadership represented by Professor Shi-xu. JMD is well-edited, timely, and a center for discussion. Its trajectory will bring it into further discourse and engagement with the leading scholars in the fields of culture and communication." - Molefi Kete Asante, Editor, Black Studies, Temple University, USA "The Journal of Multicultural Discourses (JMD) is a highly-important academic journal with significant international reach. As a journal created for and committed to providing a platform for advancing Cultural Discourse Studies, JMD consciously considers issues of cultural diversity and Western-centrism. Consistent themes in the journal circulate around ways Western societies implicitly and explicitly discriminate against non-Western societies. As well, articles explore the implications of discrimination on policies, power, and relationships. As JMD authors expose and critique Western-centric biases and power relations at multiple levels—from society to academia alike—they offer a holistic, cultural view with global values in their place. This is one of the many important contributions JMD makes as it works to create a forum for discussion of discourse analysis research that is culturally-conscious, reflexive, and critical. Such an approach promotes a more culturally-inclusive world, nationally, transnationally, and within academia. JMD provides a space in which to do this. To be sure, JMD has developed its own niche, one with very little overlap with other journals, and thus, should be an SSCI journal. In fact, I already think of it as such." - Kent Alan Ono, Editor, Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies, University of Utah, USA "The Journal of Multicultural Discourses was founded only a matter of years ago, but it has quickly achieved a prominent position in the field of discourse studies. This field is traditionally organized on the basis of main oppositions between micro and macro, sociological and psychological, critical and descriptive approaches, European and North-American trends, etc. The whole point of the journal is to bring to the fore the ethnocentric dimension of some basic assumptions of discourse study researchers. This allows it to provide greater visibility to new authors, new topics and to open new perspectives. I therefore believe the journal fulfils an essential role, given its critical function in our field of research." - Dominique Maingueneau, University of Paris Sorbonne "The Journal of Multicultural Discourses serves several distinct needs for those interested studying the world as a discursive phenomenon. It does so deeply by providing a space for theoretical discussion of what a “cultural discourse” indeed is; it does so methodologically as it wrestles with ways of accumulating discursive data and their analyses; it does so empirically as it demonstrates how cultural discourses are indeed highly localized practices that are shaped and patterned in their own contexts of use; it does so critically as it demonstrates how any one cultural discourse provides affordances for some but inevitably disadvantages others. It is the attention to the study of cultural discourse as theoretically demanding, methodologically complex, empirically deep, and critically negotiable that distinguishes this journal as not only significant, but as timely and profoundly important in the world today." - Donal Carbaugh, University of Massachusetts Peer Review Integrity
