What we publish, and how to submit
We focus on critical work that focused on resistance and its relationship with power: its strategies, discourses, tactics, effects, causes, contexts and experiences, and how it might undermine repression, injustice and domination. Resistance is not necessarily organised, but could take different forms and shapes. Formats may include research articles, activist perspectives, interviews, and reviews of books, film and music.
The general call never closes: the journal reads submissions all year, and special-issue calls are posted as they open.
- Peer review
- Double-anonymous, by scholars working in the field.
- Open access
- Most of the archive is free to read. Issues open once their embargo lifts.
- Past calls
- Closed calls stay published, so you can see what we have asked for before.
