Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies

About

Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies is an international peer-reviewed journal in the humanities that interrogates cultural production and cultural practices in or related to the nations comprised by the Spanish state. It promotes innovative theoretical and critical work at a high intellectual level that fills existing gaps in scholarship or rethinks the cultural meanings of previously studied material. Work is encouraged that addresses Spain's cultural diversity or its relationship to broader geo-political scenarios (Iberian Peninsula, Mediterranean, Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia etc.).
