Cultural Studies <=> Critical Methodologies

Edited by Norman K. Denzin, renowned author and Co-Editor of the Handbook of Qualitative Research and Co-Editor of Qualitative Inquiry, Cultural Studies <-> Critical Methodologies publishes peer-reviewed research articles, critical analyses of contemporary media representations, autoethnography, poetry, and creative non-fiction. Cultural Studies <-> Critical Methodologies provides an explicit forum for the intersections of cultural studies, critical interpretive research methodologies, and cultural critique.

Cultural Studies<->Critical Methodologies is an interdisciplinary quarterly publication drawing from those scholarly traditions in the social sciences and the humanities which are premised on a critical, performance-based cultural studies agenda. Preference is given to experimental, risk-taking manuscripts which are at the intersection of interpretive theory, critical methodology, culture, media, history, biography and social structure.

The mandate for this interdisciplinary, international journal is to move methods talk in cultural studies to the forefront, into the regions of moral discourse. The arrows that connect the two sides of our title designate this dialogical relationship between inquiry, critique, and methodological practice. Works will take up such methodological and moral issues as the local and the global, text and context, voice, writing for the other, and the presence of the author in the text.

The commitment to imagine a more democratic society has been a guiding feature of cultural studies from the very beginning. Cultural Studies<->Critical Methodologies understands that the discourses of a critical cultural studies methodology are basic to any effort to re-engage the promise of the social sciences and the humanities for democracy in the 21st Century.

 

Qualitative Inquiry

Qualitative Inquiry provides an interdisciplinary forum for qualitative methodology and related issues in the human sciences. With Qualitative Inquiry you have access to lively dialogues, current research and the latest developments in qualitative methodology.

A Valuable Resource
Whether you're a scholar, an applied researcher or a student, Qualitative Inquiry brings you the cross-disciplinary scholarship you need on qualitative research methodology.

Comprehensive Coverage
The journal publishes refereed research articles that experiment with manuscript form and content, and focus on methodological issues raised by qualitative research rather than the content or results of the research. Open to think-pieces and review essays, QI also addresses: Advances in specific methodological strategies or techniques · Key issues in qualitative research · Postmodern, post-structural and/or critical treatments of qualitative or interpretive work · Practical applications of qualitative research · Theoretical discussions on the philosophical bases of qualitative traditions

An Interdisciplinary Perspective
The papers published in Qualitative Inquiry transcend disciplinary, racial, ethnic, gender, national and paradigmatic boundaries, presenting research from such varied fields as: Anthropology · Communication · Cultural Studies · Education · Evaluation · Family Studies · Gerontology · Health · History · Management · Medicine · Nursing · Oral History · Psychology · Social Work · Sociology

Current Scholarship
Qualitative Inquiry covers diverse topics spanning many fields and disciplines. Recent articles have examined: Body narratives · Data as drama · Debates between objectivists and social constructionists · Ethical proposals for the Internet · Fieldwork dilemmas · The politics of identity · Researching lives of women with HIV/AIDS · Revising family stories · Social construction of validity · Strategies for analyzing medical interviews · Qualitative models

The International Review of Qualitative Research

The International Review of Qualitative Research encourages the use of critical, experimental and traditional forms of qualitative inquiry in the interests of social justice. We seek works that are both academically sound and partisan, works that offer knowledge-based radical critiques of social settings and institutions while promoting human dignity, human rights, and just societies around the globe. Submissions to the journal are judged by the effective use of critical qualitative research methodologies and practices for understanding and advocacy in policy arenas, as well as clarity of writing and willingness to experiment with new and traditional forms of presentation. Linked to the annual Congress for Qualitative Inquiry, much of the journal’s content will be drawn from presentations and themes developed from these international meetings. Attendees of the 2008 Congress will receive an annual subscription as part of their registration fees.
