Focus and Scope

 

International Journal of Cultural Studies Indonesia (IJOCSI) examines how cultural practices relate to everyday life, ideology, hegemony, social formation, maps of meaning, representation, identity, articulation, subjectivity, power, race, discourse, text, audience, desire, hyper-/post-reality, life-style, consumption, sexuality, gender, marginalization, subaltern, and other. As such, the Journal continues to support the field on a global scale by sharing contemporary, diverse perspectives on popular artifacts and practices.

IJOCSI  publishes articles, reviews, critiques, artwork, and other forms of cultural and intellectual production from across the humanities and social sciences. Cultural Studies welcomes empirically-rich, politically-engaged research that critically engages:
