Journal introduction:

Cultural Studies-Critical Methodologies publishes peer-reviewed research articles, critical analyses of contemporary media representations, posthuman and new materialist inquiry, critical and performance ethnography, and creative non-fiction, among other areas of critical inquiry. Cultural Studies-Critical Methodologies provides an explicit forum for the intersections of cultural studies, critical interpretive research methodologies, and cultural critique. The aim of the journal is to connect critical cultural studies research with a necessary focus on the practices, politics, and philosophies of inquiry that underpin the research act.
The mandate for this interdisciplinary, international journal is to move methods talk in cultural studies to the forefront, into the regions of moral, ethical and political discourse. The commitment to imagine a more democratic society has been a guiding feature of cultural studies from the very beginning. Contributors to this journal understand that the discourses of a critical, moral methodology are basic to any effort to re-engage the promise of the social sciences and the humanities for democracy in the 21st Century. We seek works that connect critical emancipatory theories to new forms of social justice and democratic practice are encouraged. Manuscripts which stand at the intersection of critical moral discourse, experimental, interpretative methodology, and cultural criticism are sought. Preference is given to texts which combine ethnographic, performative, and textual approaches to the study of popular culture, and include the media as well as the new communication and information technologies. Cultural Studies-Critical Methodologies transcends disciplines and crosses racial, ethnic, gender, class, and geographic and paradigmatic boundaries to produce an inclusive vision that is vital to today's interpretative practices in the human disciplines.
