 | Latest article Thinking in networks: artistic - architectural responses to ubiquitous information by Yvonne Spielmann (Published: 15 December 2011) |
| Journal of Aesthetics & Culture is a peer reviewed Open Access journal that aims to develop inter-disciplinary theoretical models as applied to human science research on aesthetic questions, understood in their broadest meaning, as a means to transcend traditional subject boundaries and to integrate regional, national, international and global perspectives; and finally, to also bridge the gaps between art and technology, between high brow culture and popular culture, and between aesthetics and politics. Topics: Contributions covering a wide range of subject areas are welcome, as well as both empirical and theoretical investigations within specific subject areas. Contributions can embark from historical or contemporary perspectives, as well from more overarching research into aesthetics and culture from a philosophical/scientific/theoretical point of departure, or based on the role aesthetic phenomena play within the production of culture at large. Types of Papers: The journal publishes high quality original research articles as well as reviews of current research and editorials that reflect on the state of knowledge within the research field. Subject areas: architecture, aesthetics, cinema studies, art history and theory, cultural theory and cultural, studies, literature studies, music studies, fashion studies, drama. Even subjects such as ethnology, philosophy, gender studies, history of ideas, history, linguistics, media and communication studies, religious studies, social anthropology or sociology may be equally of relevance for publication when they address the essential issues treated in the journal. Journal of Aesthetics & Culture occasionally publishes thematic clusters. Calls for papers on these themes will be announced here on the journal website. | Why should researchers in the humanities be publishing Open Access articles? Look upon publishing an open access article of your work as an opportunity to market yourself and the work you are engaged in! An article that synthesizes or refers to a longer mongraph you have published or will soon publish can be a wonderful teaser that brings new attention to your work across a global audience. A year after its launch, Journal of Aesthetics & Culture has received well over 6000 unique visitors to its website from over 100 countries. The journal has also seen over 14 000 requests to full text of articles. Further, Journal of Aesthetics & Culture is widely indexed and covered in many databases and distributed by Ebsco, one of the world’s largest aggregators of content across publishing houses. Because Journal of Aesthetics & Culture is so widely disseminated globally, publishing an article with us can contribute to bringing attention to your work, and in turn, to increased interest in the monographs you publish; or, as some authors experience, in receiving invitations to publish books on the same topic, to contribute to anthologies, or to translate the work into various languages. Publishing with Journal of Aesthetics & Culture is also a rapid means of getting the word out about your research work. Accepted articles are generally published three to four weeks later. We understand that also in the Humanities there should be no delays in publishing your work, such that it can be cited, read, and added to your Curriculum Vitae as soon as possible!
