CALL FOR BOOK REVIEWERS
THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF CULTURAL STUDIES

The European Journal of Cultural Studies (EJCS) is looking to expand its
list of reviewers for its book reviews section.

The European Journal of Cultural Studies is a major journal based in
Europe which promotes a conception of cultural studies rooted in lived
experience. The journal adopts an international, broad-ranging view of
cultural studies, charting new questions and new research, and mapping the
transformation of cultural studies in the years to come.

An International Perspective
EJCS provides a forum for new work on cultural studies from European and
international authors. It places European work in an international context
and brings new research by scholars from Australia, Canada, Asia, Africa
and America to the attention of European academics.

Interdisciplinary
The journal is interdisciplinary bringing together articles from a
textual, philosophical and social scientific background, as well as from
cultural studies. It engages in critical discussions on power relations
concerning gender, class, sexual preference, ethnicity and other macro or
micro sites of political struggle.

Broad-Ranging Topics
The European Journal of Cultural Studies covers topics including youth
culture and class relations,  gender, constructions of identities ,
cultural citizenship, migration, popular culture, consumer cultures ,
media and film , the body, post-colonial criticism, cultural policy,
sexualities

Review Section
The journal includes a strong review section which ensures that readers
are kept in touch with new work and current debates in cultural studies
and related fields.  EJCS publishes two types of reveiws:
a. reviews of single texts (length of review 250-1000 words)
b. review essays, usually of two or more related works (length of review
essays 1000-3000 words)
