Communication, Culture and Critique

Aims & Scope

CCC provides an international forum for critical research in communication, media, and cultural studies.

We welcome high-quality research and analyses that place questions of power, inequality, and justice at the center of empirical and theoretical inquiry.

CCC seeks to bring a diversity of critical approaches (political economy, feminist analysis, critical race theory, postcolonial critique, cultural studies, queer theory) to bear on the role of communication, media, and culture in power dynamics on a global scale.

CCC is especially interested in critical scholarship that engages with emerging lines of inquiry across the humanities and social sciences.

We seek to explore the place of mediated communication in current topics of theorization and cross-disciplinary research (including affect, branding, posthumanism, labor, temporality, ordinariness, and networked everyday life, to name just a few examples).

In the coming years, we anticipate publishing special issues on these themes.
