The Middle East Journal of Culture and Communication, now in its sixth year, is a platform for
interdisciplinary scholarly work that explores transformations in culture, communication,
and politics in the Middle East and North Africa. The Journal aims to
challenge the traditional paradigms used to understand media and the Middle
East, seeing “communication” as
extending beyond the study of media in the traditional sense.
MEJCC welcomes contributions from international
scholars engaged with the Middle East within various academic disciplines and
using diverse approaches, whether as articles or reviews of films, books
(including novels), and exhibitions.
MEJCC is seeking papers critically addressing
(though not exclusive to) the following:
- the old and new media in all their forms
(the broadcast media, the
print media, electronic media, and film), whether in or about the Middle East
- processes of communication in geographical space in the Middle
East (including street art, posters and architecture)
- popular culture in the Middle East
- the relationship between the media and communication practices and
political and social processes in the region
- the cultural practices through which power is expressed and
politics is performed.
 
MEJCC is published by Brill three times a year (http://www.brill.com/middle-east-journal-culture-and-communication). We publish open issues and themed issues. Our
latest themed issue this year was on youth cultures in North Africa. The
forthcoming one (in the fall) will be about the performance of space in
Palestine.
 
Contributions are accepted on a rolling basis and should
be original work which has neither been simultaneously submitted for
publication elsewhere nor published previously (unless it’s a translation of
work published in another language). Manuscripts should be
submitted through Editorial Manager, which can be accessed via: http://www.editorialmanager.com/mjcc/
 
Informal queries can be
addressed to the current managing editor Lina Khatib: lkhatib at stanford.edu
