new formations a journal of culture/theory/politics

New formations has been a pioneer of interdisciplinary research in the humanities and social sciences since the 1980s. The core intellectual remit of the journal is to publish original work which explores the uses of cultural theory for the analysis of political and social issues - be they historical or contemporary - and it publishes work from any discipline which meets this criterion, or which bears directly upon current debates within cultural theory, cultural studies, or the wider critical humanities or social sciences, and which meets our quality criteria (set out below). It has a particularly strong reputation as a forum for the development and application of cultural theory, and its readership crosses literary studies, media studies, philosophy, visual culture, film studies, musicology, postcolonial studies, gender studies, history, cultural geography, politics, sociology and cultural studies. New formations routinely hosts articles by world-leading figures in these fields, as well as work by early-career researchers, as it has done since its inception. We are proud to combine an international profile and a reputation for experimentation and interdisciplinarity with a commitment to support the work of less established scholars wherever possible.
