European Journal of American Culture 42.1 is out now!

Intellect is pleased to announce that European Journal of American Culture 42.1 is out now!

 

In this first issue of 2023, we have four articles ranging, as ever, across a wide cultural terrain. From autobiographical women’s writing to trans bathroom politics, choreographic archives to alt-Right anti-blackness, these articles show us the ever-pressing need for American cultural studies to understand our world today.

Aims & 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.
