Continuum is an academic journal of media and
cultural studies. For over a decade it has contributed to the
formation of these disciplines by identifying new areas for interrogation
and developing new agendas for investigation in the fields. The
journal has consistently provided a space for important new voices
in media and cultural studies, while also featuring the work of
internationally renowned scholars. Continuum
is now one of the most highly regarded and most cited journals
in media and cultural studies. The journal is of central importance to all scholars involved
in the research and teaching of media and cultural studies. It
provides vital information and ideas for thinking about the formations
of media in culture and the culture of media. The journal editors are interested in papers investigating the
relationship between media texts and wider questions of culture.
Particular areas of interest include the formation of communities,
publics and nations; questions of taste and value; international
mediascapes; policy, industry and academic interventions; issues
around the disciplinary status of history, media studies, cultural
studies, philosophy and visual arts; and questions around technologies,
identities and cultures. Continuum is edited from Australia, with an international
scope. It is affiliated with the Cultural Studies Association
of Australia. "More than any other journal, Continuum has
shaped the field of Cultural Studies in Australia. An indispensable
reference point, and always a great read" "This journal is probably the best kept secret in international
cultural studies ... [it has] a long tradition of intelligent,
thoughtful, tough-minded ... examination of core issues in media
studies and popular culture ... Continuum is the
place to turn for fresh and unorthodox perspectives on contemporary
cultural issues" "There is an urgency and a seriousness to Australian debates
about culture and media which cannot be ignored - on questions
of indigenous culture, the tensions between critical distance
and policy making, Asian identities and diasporas and cultural
formations around the Pacific Rim ... Continuum
is establishing itself as essential reading, not just regionally
but globally" |
