Culture Unbound

Culture Unbound: Journal of Current Cultural Research is an international independent open-access peer-reviewed journal that publishes emergent research on culture and politics.

We are interested in work that advances novel and emerging perspectives, methods and approaches on emergent issues such as global developments related to digital society, technologies and cultures; climate change; infrastructure politics; gender and inequality; transformations in science and knowledge; automation; rising militarism, and changes in media and cultural economies. 

The journal seeks to be an arena for a cross-disciplinary dialogue and welcomes contributions from a wide range of fields including but not limited to media and communication studies, gender studies, history, social anthropology, the environmental humanities, human geography, cultural studies, science and technology studies and related fields. 

Culture Unbound is an academic led journal published digitally in Open Access. We charge neither authors nor readers, and most of the labour that goes into the journal is gifted. We have no full-time staff and are not backed by any publishing house.

Since it was launched in June 2009, Culture Unbound has seen a steady increase in submissions. Especially over the last years, the inflow of manuscripts has accelerated. Unfortunately, the editorial capacity has not increased at the same rate, and this means that our processing times are longer than we would like them to be. 

The editors welcome proposals for special issues. If you would like to edit a thematic section of Culture Unbound you are welcome to contact the editor in chief or the editorial team at: cu@ikos.liu.se.
