Culture, Theory and Critique is an 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.
