New journal launch: Reviews in Cultural Theory

We (Sarah Blacker and Justin Sully)

are pleased to announce the launch of _Reviews in Cultural Theory_, a
new journal that will be publishing reviews and review essays every two
weeks at www.reviewsinculture.com. Our website will also maintain an
announcements section that will be updated weekly with new CFPs, job
postings, and other relevant news from the field. The journal emerges from
our sense that the rapid growth of work in cultural theory over the past
decade demands new forums for tracking the development of this field.
Focusing on the distribution of short and timely reviews contributed by
scholars working in a wide array of fields, _Reviews in Cultural Theory_
was conceived as a way of responding to the dynamism and pace of the
contemporary theorization of culture.

Published online bi-weekly and collected into issues twice yearly,
_Reviews in Cultural Theory_ hopes to foreground new work in this field as
well as the emergent community of scholars who share an interest in the
complex and changing problems of culture today. Reviews to be published in
the journal's first year chart the contemporary shape of cultural theory,
touching on Visual Culture, Gender Studies, Geography, Queer Theory,
Marxism, Postcolonial Studies, Cultural History, and Sound Studies, among
other fields and subjects, established and emerging.

We invite you to take a moment and flip through our first handful of
reviews. Please subscribe to our RSS feed, or check back in the coming
months for updated news, announcements, and upcoming reviews of Susan
Buck-Morss' _Hegel, Haiti, and Universal History_, Jody Berland's _North
of Empire: Essays on the Cultural Technologies of Space_, Enrique Dussel's
_Twenty Theses on Politics_, Michael Fried's _Why Photography Matters as
Art as Never Before_, and Cary Wolfe's _What is Posthumanism?_, among
others. We welcome you to contact us if you have recent work you are
interested in reviewing or having reviewed.

The editors,
Sarah Blacker and Justin Sully
