The East Asian Journal of Popular Culture is the first academic peer-reviewed journal for scholars, teachers, and students from around the world who have an active and passionate interest in the popular culture of East Asia. The journal is devoted to all aspects of popular culture in East Asia and the interplay between East Asia and the wider world. With the growth in popularity of Asian visual products in the Western world and the increasing strength of the Asian markets, this publication fulfils the need for an international journal that allows Western and Asian film, media, literary, music, fashion, digital media, television, art and cultural scholars alike to engage in discussion. In the last few decades there has been a huge rise in the interest in East Asian popular culture. The East Asian Journal of Popular Culture will be engaging directly with that trend. From film to music; art to translation and fashion to tourism, this journal will offer a forum where multidisciplinary work can come together in new and exciting ways.

We are delighted to announce the development of the East Asian Journal of Popular Culture and to issue a general call for papers. In the last few decades there has been a huge rise in the interest in East Asian popular culture. The East Asian Journal of Popular Culture will be engaging directly with that trend. From film to music; art to translation and fashion to tourism, this journal will offer a forum where multidisciplinary work can come together in new and exciting ways.
The East Asian Journal of Popular Culture encourages articles that are both localized (towards a specific popular culture tend, figure or industry) as well as articles that are more global in their outlook (forging links between East Asian popular culture and wider global issues). We look for papers that engage with current as well as emerging issues in popular culture in East Asia, cosplay culture, food culture, kawaii, manga and anime, martial arts, politics, and the complex relationships between nationalism and popular culture. We are interested in multidisciplinary papers (that all come under the sport and leisure, digital media, history, media, fashion, music, material culture and literature. Papers and works on translation studies, as well as cultural history and anthropology will be also welcomed.
We are keen to involve scholars from all over the world and we actively search for reviews of non-English language publications on all aspects of East Asian popular culture and reviews of, and engagement with, cultural events such as photography, theatre and film festivals. If you are interested in acting as a reviewer or are interested in proposing a book to be reviewed please contact the reviews editor.
Topics that could be examined include:
· Cultural Translation in East Asia
· K-Pop
· Shanzhai culture
· Fandom in East asia
· Consumerism in East Asia
· Spectacle and Performance
· Fashion
· Cosplay culture
· Anime in East Asia

· Baseball Culture in East Asia
· Food Culture
· Manga
· Communication networks in East Asia
· Martial Arts Culture
· East Asian Cinema systems and cultural interaction

Papers need to be 6,000 words in length and conform to the Intellect Style Guidelines.
All articles submitted should be original work and must not be under consideration by other publications.
If you would like to submit a paper or contact us about a proposed special edition please email: eajpopculture@gmail.com or one of the editors for further advice.
