FAIRsharing record for: Diffractions Data Policy

This FAIRsharing record describes: DIFFRACTIONS is an online, peer-reviewed, and open access graduate journal for the study of culture. The journal is published bi-annually under the editorial direction of graduate students in the doctoral program in Culture Studies of the Lisbon Consortium, at Universidade Católica Portuguesa. It is a platform where graduate students and other young researchers can showcase their current research as well as reviews of the latest books of interest in the field.

The scope of DIFFRACTIONS is interdisciplinary and transcultural. We aim at publishing innovative and critical scholarly work at the intersection of disciplinary fields and make it accessible and available to the international community.

Currently, DIFFRACTIONS consists of two sections. The main one is dedicated to the issue’s topic and in the second one, we publish general unrelated topics. For the section dedicated to a specific topic, we publish a Call for Articles with a deadline for submissions. For the general section, we accept contributions unrelated to the main theme on a rolling basis.

We welcome submissions for both sections from a wide range of disciplines that share a common interest in the multiple ways cultures produce meaning, including but not limited to critical theory, cultural studies, comparative literature, translation studies, postcolonial studies, visual culture, film, media, and gender studies, popular culture, creative industries, museum studies, memory studies, amongst others.
