About this journal

The Contemporary Journal of Arts and Culture (CJAC) is dedicated to advancing scholarly discourse by publishing rigorous, original research that critically examines the multifaceted dimensions of artistic expression and cultural phenomena. It serves as a vital platform for interdisciplinary inquiry within the humanities and social sciences. CJAC welcomes submissions that explore the historical, theoretical, philosophical, and empirical aspects of arts and culture across diverse global contexts. The journal’s scope encompasses a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to, art history, visual culture, performance studies, musicology, literary criticism, media studies, cultural anthropology, sociology of art, heritage studies, aesthetics, and creative industries. We are particularly interested in scholarship that engages with contemporary challenges, emerging trends, and innovative methodologies in cultural analysis, as well as contributions that offer comparative perspectives or explore the intersections of art, society, politics, and technology. Manuscripts considered for publication include original research articles, comprehensive review essays, theoretical expositions, and critical commentaries that offer significant new insights into the production, reception, interpretation, and impact of cultural forms. The journal targets an international readership of academics, researchers, postgraduate students, cultural practitioners, and policymakers invested in profound understandings of human creativity and cultural dynamics. This journal is committed to fostering intellectual exchange and enriching the global conversation within these vibrant fields.
