Aims and Scope

 

The European Journal of American Culture (EJAC) is an academic, refereed journal for scholars, academics and students from many disciplines with a common involvement in the interdisciplinary study of America and American culture, drawing on a variety of approaches and encompassing the whole evolution of America. EJAC is particularly interested in articles considering the ways in which politics, history, literature, the visual arts and other areas of the humanities have increasingly engaged with cultural issues.
