Call Deadline: 28-Feb-2026

Journal of Studies in Language, Culture, and Society (JSLCS) is an
academic multidisciplinary open access and double-blind peer-reviewed
journal that publishes original research that turns around phenomena
related to language, culture, and society. JSLCS welcomes papers that
reflect sound methodologies, updated theoretical analyses, and
original empirical and practical findings related to various
disciplines like linguistics and languages, civilisation and
literature, sociology, psychology, translation, anthropology,
education, pedagogy, ICT, communication, cultural/inter-cultural
studies, philosophy, history, religion, and the like.
Scope and Rationale:
Cultural practices and expressions are critical to understanding
societal transformations, identity formations, and the impacts of
globalization. Dominant scholarly narratives have historically
privileged Western epistemologies, often marginalizing other knowledge
systems and practices. This special issue seeks to reposition the
discourse by centering diverse global perspectives on cultural
production, expression, and heritage.
Contributions are invited that critically examine how notions of
authenticity, continuity, and reconfiguration shape and are shaped by
cultural practices in various global contexts. We welcome
interdisciplinary approaches and empirically grounded studies that
explore the interface between tradition and innovation in both local
and transnational cultural dynamics.
Thematic Areas:
Global Cultural Practices and Epistemologies:
- Comparative cultural research across regions
- Decolonial methodologies and theoretical frameworks
- Interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives
Technology and the Transformation of Culture:
- AI, digital platforms, and social media as agents of cultural change
- Virtual heritage, digital storytelling, and online communities
- The role of technology in cultural preservation and dissemination
Intersectionality in Cultural Expressions:
- Migration, age, class, and identity in cultural production
- Generational transitions and cultural reconfigurations
- Marginalized voices and minority representation
Cultural Policy, Ethics, and Accessibility:
- Institutional and governmental policies in heritage management
- Cultural commodification and ethical representation
- Accessibility, visibility, and public engagement in cultural
promotion
>From Vernacular to Global:
- The globalization of traditional practices
- Grassroots cultural movements and the professionalization of
expression
- The intersection of local authenticity and global market dynamics
