ISSN 1097-3710

The purpose of _In[]Visible Culture_ is to provide a forum for critical
approaches to the production and analysis of cultural objects. The journal
features essays and art projects that address contemporary issues within
visual studies. In an effort to encourage lively discussions and debates,
the publication entertains the wide spectrum of methodological and
disciplinary approaches (including, postcolonial, feminist, marxist,
psychoanalytic, and queer theories) being applied to the study of visual
culture. 

As the journal's title suggests, the discourse of the visible continually
negotiates the limits of what can be visually perceived. In order to
further these discussions, the journal also features work that addresses
the problematics raised by, among other things, the notion of
ocularcentrism, claims for a "pictorial turn" in discourse, and the
opposition of word and image.
