After Culture Call for Submissions

After Culture is a journal in anthropology, cultural studies, sociology,
geography, and interdisciplinary studies of culture, broadly construed.
After Culture?s mandate is to promote experimental forms of academic
scholarship, both in content and form, as well as to work with scholars
on developing new modes of scholarly presentation. After Culture
provides anthropologists, and other scholars concerned with ?culture?  and
its vagaries, with a space in which to celebrate and reconceive the  study
of culture and its possibilities. The name of the journal serves  as an
invitation to consider what comes next, what futures await
anthropology and the study of culture, and how these futures might be
articulated and enacted. After Culture is thus a space for the thinking
and rethinking of futures, of emergences and resurgences.

After Culture is edited by an international editorial collective of
graduate students in anthropology and cultural studies; with the support
of faculty from diverse institutions and fields, the editorial
collective solicits manuscripts, reviews articles, arranges issues for
publication, and hosts occasional workshops. Such an arrangement of
interdisciplinary and international interests allows After Culture to
constantly evolve; similarly, the editorial collective accepts new
members on a rolling basis, allowing for innovative ideas and approaches.

As an online journal, we are able to include scholarly work that moves
beyond the material boundaries of print journals, and as such, we hope  to
expand academic forms of representation and work. After Culture is
currently interested in the following kinds of scholarly contributions:

Multimedia essays, which integrally include audio or visual media in
addition to the text of the essay; these multimedia additions may  include
soundscapes, samples of music and interviews, samples of video,  or brief
ethnographic documentary. Other multimedia forms are also  possible, and
can be discussed with the managing editors.

Photo essays that employ Flash slideshows. A simple version of this  style
of presentation can be found here:
http://fiji.union.edu/flash/beach_bbq.swf. Longer essays (both more
photos or text) could be developed.

Literature review essays that address contemporary concerns in
anthropology, or which compile and discuss anthropological literatures
rarely translated into English. In the case of the former, we are
especially interested in theoretically-driven literature reviews that
address emerging concerns in anthropological research, as well as  reviews
that critically engage with scholarship that has renewed
relevance due to trends in contemporary anthropology. In the case of the
latter form of literature review, we are especially interested in  reviews
of non-U.S. anthropological traditions, both those that appear  primarily
in a language other than English, and traditions which appear  in English,
but that are circumscribed in their distribution.

Interviews of established anthropologists that discuss their previous,
current and future research; an example is located here:
http://emergentanthropologies.net/afterculture/index.php/afterculture/article/view/3/23.

In addition to interviews, it is also possible to publish
?conversations? between colleagues on a theme or topic of mutual
expertise, an example being the conversation between Don Brenneis and
Steven Feld in American Ethnologist 31.4 (although, online, it could
include sound).

In addition, we are interested in working closely with graduate
students, junior faculty, and international scholars to prepare article
manuscripts for publication. Our peer-review process is intended to work
quickly and generatively, and to help scholars move through the
peer-review process with transparency while maintaining rigorous, blind
review.

If you are interested in submitting your work to After Culture, please
contact the managing editors at after.culture la gmail.com. Submissions are
accepted through the After Culture website at:

The editorial structure of the journal is comprised of an Editorial  Board
made up of graduate students who serve renewable three-year terms  and who
adopt the majority of the peer-review responsibilities as well  as the
formulation of editorial policies. The Editorial Advisory Board  is
comprised of established scholars and assists with the peer-review process
and advises the Editorial Board on policy. Editorial AdvisoryBoard members
are appointed to renewable five-year terms. Graduate students who have
served on the Editorial Board, upon completion of  their graduate studies,
are invited to matriculate to the Editorial  Advisory Board. These two
arms are collectively referred to as the  Editorial Collective, and
ideally will comprise 30-40 individuals from  across disciplines, locales,
and professional status.

If you are interested in participating in After Culture as an editor,
please send an email of interest a copy of your academic curriculum  vitae
to the managing editors at after.culture la gmail.com. After Culture  can be
