Journal for Cultural Studies

《文化日报》（KWZ）由2015年成立的德国文化协会（KWG）于2016年出版。到目前为止，创始期已经出版，下一期（1/2017）正在准备中。该杂志的宗旨是通过发表来自广泛领域和范围的文化研究的高质量德语和英语论文来促进文化研究。对历史和当前现象的范式分析以及重构和提出紧迫的理论问题是本刊的主题，有望推动文化研究领域的研究。除了论文、评论和会议报告外，每期还包含一位著名文化研究人员关于当今专业争议和主题的节目嘉宾贡献。供出版的语文是德文和英文。《文化智慧》杂志的论文要经过双盲审查。《KWZ》每年出版两次，由De Gruyter出版社在线发行（开放获取）。KWZ是KWG的出版机构，目的是加强对文化研究问题、理论方法和概念的讨论，而不需要主题规范。在与国际科学话语的学术交流中，应运用国际引进的理论对本国的理论传统进行批判性的考察。KWZ将自己视为跨学科交流的论坛。在方法和内容方面，该杂志的愿望是使自己成为德语科学界文化研究讨论的中心出版物。KWZ为自己设定的任务是元反射性地伴随文化研究领域话语和方法论趋势的出现，并将它们与各自现有的传统联系起来。个别学科的不同观点在期刊中是受欢迎的，但它们被纳入了一个多视角的讨论背景。KWZ批判性地质疑文化的本质主义和普遍主义概念；它的基本概念源于这样一个前提，即文化是在剧本、信念和行动的谈判中发展起来的。文化作为翻译过程的集合，其学术分析需要一种跨国的、跨文化的视角。由于KWZ致力于此，该杂志的重建有助于更好地理解行动/实践的文化语法和技术条件，社会变革的秩序和动态。

The Kulturwissenschaftliche Zeitschrift (KWZ) is published since 2016 by the Kulturwissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft (KWG) founded in 2015. Thus far, a founding issue was published and a further issue (1/2017) is currently being prepared. The aim of the journal is to promote cultural studies research by publishing high-quality papers in German and English from a broad field and range of cultural studies. Paradigmatic analyses of historical and current phenomena as well as reconstructing and initiating pressing theoretical questions are the subject matter of the journal that hold the promise to advance research in the field of cultural studies. Alongside papers, reviews and conference reports, each issue contains a programmatic guest contribution of a renowned cultural studies researcher concerning specialized present-day controversies and topics. The languages offered for publication are German and English. The papers of the Kulturwissenschaftliche Zeitschrift undergo a double-blind review. The KWZ is published twice a year featuring an online issue (open access) by the De Gruyter publishing house. The KWZ appears as publishing organ of the KWG with the goal to enhance debates concerning cultural studies issues, theoretical approaches and concepts without thematic specifications. In scholarly exchange with international scientific discourses, own traditions of theory shall be critically examined by use of theory introduced internationally. The KWZ understands itself as forum for interdisciplinary communication. It is the aspiration of the journal regarding methodology and content to establish itself as central publication of cultural studies discussions in the German speaking scientific community. The KWZ sets itself the task to meta-reflexively accompany the emergence of trends in discourses and methodology in the field of cultural studies and to tie them to respective existing traditions. Different perspectives of individual disciplines are welcomed within the journal, yet they are incorporated into a multi-perspectival context of discussion. The KWZ critically questions essentialist and universalistic concepts of culture; its underlying concept starts from the premise that culture develops in negotiations—of scripts, convictions, and actions. As an assembly of permanent processes of translation, the academic analysis of culture calls for a transnational and transcultural approach. As the KWZ dedicates itself to this, the re-establishment of the journal contributes to a better understanding of the cultural grammars and technological conditions of actions/practice, orders and dynamics of societal change.
