Critical Studies on Security

Security is one of the defining features of our, or any, time. Collectively we seek security, value security, desire security, while at the same time often being troubled by the actions that are taken in the name of our security.  Critical Studies on Security is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the study of ‘security’ in and through social critique. The journal aims to publish theoretically informed scholarship, which engages with the practice and politics of security. We welcome articles from or across the range of disciplines, and from any of the critical social theoretical positions.

Critical Studies on Security publishes scholarship that has undergone rigorous peer review, including an initial screening by the editors, and recommendation by at least two anonymous reviewers.

Critical Studies on Terrorism is a new international, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal. The journal seeks to publish quality research on all aspects of terrorism, counter-terrorism and state terror. Recent ArticlesA key aim of the journal is to both create space for robust, innovative research on terrorism, and to encourage fruitful intellectual engagement between critical and orthodox accounts of terrorism. In particular, the editors are looking for empirical, theoretical and policy-oriented articles that recognise the inherently problematic nature of the terrorism label, employ a critical-normative perspective broadly defined, and challenge accepted orthodoxies. Research on terrorism employing methodological and disciplinary perspectives from outside the poltical science and international relations paradigms is especially encouraged.Within this broad framework, the journal seeks submissions in some of the following areas:The achievements and limitations of terrorism studies as a disciplinePreconditions and facilitating factors of terrorismSociological, anthropological, psychological analyses of political terrorComparative history of (counter) - terrorismState terror and political repressionThe institutionalisation of counter-terrorismTorture, human rights/civil liberties and coercive counter-terrorismEthical-normative analyses of (counter) - terrorismGender dimensions of political terrorThe politics of naming/power-knowledge dimensions of 'terrorism'Identity, culture and representation of 'terrorism'The political communication of (counter) - terrorismMedia studies of (counter) - terrorismPathways out of political terror (non-state or state)Conflict resolution and counter-terrorismPerspectives from the Global South on (counter) - terrorism Critical Studies on Terrorism will provide a forum for the publication of original theoretical and empirical research articles, disciplinary debates and assessments, editorial commentary, special issues, research notes, announcements and book reviews.Critical Studies on Terrorism will be of interest to practitioners and scholars from a wide variety of disciplines, including: political science, security studies, international relations, sociology, psychology, history, applied philosophy, religious studies, law, criminology, anthropology, communication, media studies, cultural studies, gender studies, conflict resolution, development studies and area studies, among others.

Critique: Journal of Socialist Theory is an independent, refereed, scholarly journal founded in 1973. It attempts to analyse contemporary society from a critical Marxist perspective. Critique takes the view that Marxism has been so degraded by the Stalinist period that much of what has passed for Marxism has ranged between incoherent nonsense and empty if complex scholastic schema. Since socialism in one country is a theoretical and practical impossibility, Critique rejected and continues to reject analyses purporting to show this or that country is or was socialist. Furthermore, Critique emphatically insists on the impossibility of an undemocratic socialism.The aim of Critique is to take part in the restoration of the earlier pre-eminence of Marxist thought by encouraging discussion around the political economy of contemporary capitalist and non-capitalist societies. For this purpose, it regards debate around methodology and as a consequence philosophy to be essential. Inevitably, contemporary political economy must also involve debate around the importance of historical events and so Critique encourages contributions of historical analysis.In short, Critique's aim is to publish theoretical work at various levels of abstraction from the most profound to that of analytical description in order to help provide the theory required for socialist change, which with the end of Stalinism is once more on the agenda.Book Reviews:For instructions and a complete list of books that are currently available for review, please click here. The Origins of Critique:Critique was founded in May 1973 following its first conference in London, at which some 500 people attended. In the initial editorial it declared that its aim was to analyse Stalinism based on the empirical reality, while rejecting an empiricist approach. It sought to discover the laws of motion applying to Stalinism. It rejected the imposition of schema on the analysis, usual both on the left and right. The journal became associated with a new school of thought critical of Stalinism and the Soviet Union, which argued that the USSR was neither actually nor potentially a mode of production. Articles made it clear that it could not last and that the market would be imposed but that it would fail. The theory has been amply borne out by events.In the second issue the editorial made clear "that we will follow the logic of our enterprise and publish articles on wider aspects of socialist theory, such as problems of the transitional period, the socialist mode of production etc." Debates on the decline of capitalism and the importance of Stalinism for capitalism led to contemporary discussions showing the greater instability of capitalism without the Cold War, the USSR and Stalinist parties. Critique became a more general journal of Marxist theory.DisclaimerCritique: Journal of Socialist Theory and Taylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.

Cultural Studies is an international journal which explores the relation between cultural practices, everyday life, material, economic, political, geographical and historical contexts. It fosters more open analytic, critical and political conversations by encouraging people to push the dialogue into fresh, uncharted territory. It also aims to intervene in the processes by which the existing techniques, institutions and structures of power are reproduced, resisted and transformed. Cultural Studies understands the term 'culture' inclusively rather than exclusively, and publishes essays which encourage significant intellectual and political experimentation, intervention and dialogue. Special issues focus on specific topics, often not traditionally associated with cultural studies, and occasional issues present a body of work from a particular national, ethnic or special tradition. The journal represents the truly international and interdisciplinary nature of contemporary work in cultural studies, and since its inception in 1987, has reflected the discipline in becoming ever more global in scope and perspective(s). Cultural Studies welcomes work covering a range of topics and styles, and invites articles, reviews, critiques, photographs and other forms of 'cultural' and 'intellectual' production. Celebrating 20 years of Cultural Studies with Routledge in 2006 I was first introduced to cultural studies about thirty-five years ago, when no one quite knew what it was. It was a project. It had its enemies, on the left, and in the disciplines. Maybe not that much has changed. After all, cultural studies is still almost impossible to define, especially given the enormous diversity of work that is carried on in its name. And it has even more enemies--on the left and in the disciplines, and now we can always add various conservative fractions. Yet, everything has changed. By many quantitative measures, cultural studies has become a success--it has a real presence in the academy and in publications. Its audiences and outlets have exploded. When Cultural Studies first began publishing over twenty years ago, there were no other outlets. Now there are more than anyone can keep up with. More importantly, cultural studies as a transdisciplinary formation and practice has transformed many of our most basic disciplinary and political practices and assumptions. And despite the many misappropriations and misrepresentations of cultural studies, I now understand that it is precisely as a project--a radically contextual practice of the articulation of knowledge and power-- that cultural studies will continue to challenge dominant intellectual and political practices, and to look to the possibilities of the future. As the world speeds into a increasingly precarious and inhumane future, I still believe, as I did thirty five years ago, that cultural studies has something to contribute to making another future possible.

Culture and Religion is an interdisciplinary journal seeking an engagement between scholars working across a range of disciplinary fields, including anthropology, cultural studies, critical theory and gender studies, and postcolonial studies. Lying at the interface between the study of religion and other academic studies of culture, Culture and Religion is a forum for exploring the perspectives of both anthropology and cultural studies. In particular, the journal will consider why cultural studies have hitherto neglected the significance of religious manifestations in cross-cultural perspectives, and define ways in which the discipline of religious studies needs to engage with other areas of contemporary critical, cultural, and anthropological theory. The principal aim of Culture and Religion is to promote critical investigation into all aspects of the study of religion and culture, particularly from scholars with an innovative and multidisciplinary focus.

Pictorial Turn Special Issue Guest Editor: Neal Curtis including contributions from Jacques Ranciere, W.J.T. Mitchell, Antony Gormley annd Norman MacLeod Culture, Theory and Critique is a refereed, interdisciplinary journal for the transformation and development of critical theories in the humanities and social sciences. It aims to critique and reconstruct theories by interfacing them with one another and by relocating them in new sites and conjunctures. Culture, Theory and Critique' approach to theoretical refinement and innovation is one of interaction and hybridisation via recontextualisation and transculturation. The reconceptualisation of critical theories is achieved by: * assessing how well theories emerging from particular spatial, cultural, geographical and historical contexts travel and translate into new conjunctures. * confronting theories with their limitations or aporias through immanent critique. * applying theories to cultural, literary, social and political phenomena in order to test them against their respective fields of concern and to generate critical feedback. * interfacing theories from different intellectual, disciplinary and institutional settings. Given its interdisciplinary character, Culture, Theory and Critique will appeal to anyone working at the interface between disciplines such as gender studies, cultural studies, critical geography, historiography, literary theory and criticism, film studies, philosophy, postcolonialism, social and political theory and visual culture. Culture, Theory and Critique is an intercultural journal whose success depends on contributions from a variety of sources, so that debate between different perspectives can be stimulated. One of the aims of the journal is to break down theoretical hierarchies and latent intellectual hegemonies, which can be achieved only if voices from places other than Anglophone centres are heard. Every endeavour will be made for each issue of the journal to incorporate perspectives from diverse cultural, intellectual and geographical contexts.
