Interdisciplinary and international in scope, the Journal of War and Culture Studies emphasises cultural histories and cultural production as significant forces that have shaped experiences, representations and memories of war. It provides a forum for the analysis, discussion and dissemination of original research exploring the relationships between war and culture in the modern and contemporary era.
The Journal of War and Culture Studies seeks to foster genuine interdisciplinary dialogue through contributions from leading scholars and specialists in the field whilst also welcoming submissions from postgraduate students, independent scholars and early-career colleagues. The editors invite contributions in the fields of cultural history, literary studies, cultural and media studies and all forms of visual studies that explore the areas of interest within its scope. Articles in related aspects of social sciences and social and political histories will also be welcomed if the focus on cultural production is clear.
