Kulturwissenschaftliche Zeitschrift (KWZ)

《KWZ》由2015年成立的《KWG》出版社于2016年出版发行。创刊以来，又出版了8期，其中包括2期专题特刊。该杂志的任务是促进文化研究的研究，并通过出版来自文化研究所有领域的高质量德语和英语稿件，将跨学科和国际专业人士联系起来。对历史和当代现象的典型分析以及理论辩论的重建和启动构成了主题焦点。除了论文以及评论和报告外，每一期都有一篇由著名文化研究学者就其研究领域的当前主题和争议撰写的纲领性嘉宾文章。作为KWG的出版机构，KWZ旨在介绍与国际学术话语交换的关于文化研究问题、理论途径和方法论概念的辩论，并批判性地和自我反省地审视自己关于理论输入的理论传统。通过这一计划，KWZ成功地将自己确立为跨学科交流的论坛，并在第一个资助阶段(2018-2020年)结束后成为文化研究讨论的中心出版场所。KWZ以开放获取的网络版每年出版两次。出版语种为德语或英语的文章进行双盲同行评审。所有文章都可以从出版商的网站(https://sciendo.com/journal/KWG))上永久下载，也可以从KWZ自己的主页(https://kulturwissenschaftlichezeitschrift.de/).At下载。2022年初，KWZ将重新推出，期刊将从de Gruyter/Sciendo出版社迁至Felix Meiner Verlag。作为这家出版商的第一份纯粹的办公自动化期刊，它将在出版业的数字化进程中发挥先锋作用。与梅纳的合作预期产生的协同效应应该会加强KWZ作为文化研究研究中心出版场所的知名度，并有助于该学科的长期可持续性。第二个筹资阶段(2021-2023年)计划的营销、社交媒体和国际化战略的加强，以及通过KWZ主页提供更多替代数字和多媒体内容，也有助于产生更广泛的影响。到第二个资助阶段(2021-2023年)结束时，KWG会员人数的增加表明，该期刊将能够从自己的资源中获得资金。

The Kulturwissenschaftliche Zeitschrift (KWZ) is published since 2016 by the Kulturwissenschaftliche Gesellschaft (KWG), founded in 2015. Since the founding issue, eight further issues, including two thematic special issues, have been published. The journal's tasks are to promote research in cultural studies and to connect the transdisciplinary and international professional community by publishing high-quality German- and English-language contributions from all areas of cultural studies. Paradigmatic analyses of historical and contemporary phenomena and the reconstruction and initiation of theoretical debates form the thematic focus. In addition to essays as well as reviews and reports, each issue features a programmatic guest article by a renowned cultural studies scholar on current topics and controversies in his or her field of study.As the publication organ of the KWG, the KWZ aims to profile debates on cultural studies issues, theoretical approaches and methodological concepts in exchange with international academic discourses, and to critically and self-reflexively examine its own theoretical traditions in relation to theory imports. With this program, the KWZ has succeeded in establishing itself as a forum for interdisciplinary exchange and as a central publication venue for cultural studies discussions after the end of the first funding phase (2018-2020). The KWZ is published twice a year in an open-access online edition. The articles in the publication languages German or English are double-blind peer-reviewed. All articles are permanently available for download from the publisher's website (https://sciendo.com/journal/KWG) as well as from the KWZ's own homepage (https://kulturwissenschaftlichezeitschrift.de/).At the beginning of 2022, there will be a 'relaunch' of the KWZ with the relocation of the journal from the publishing house De Gruyter/Sciendo to Felix Meiner Verlag. As this publisher’s first purely OA journal it will take on a pioneering role for digitization processes in publishing. The synergy effects expected from the collaboration with Meiner should strengthen the visibility of the KWZ as a central publication venue for cultural studies research and contribute to the long-term sustainability of the discipline. The generation of an even broader impact is also served by the intensification of marketing, social media, and internationalization strategies planned for the second funding phase (2021-2023), as well as the increased provision of alternative digital and multimedia content via the KWZ homepage. By the end of the second funding phase (2021-2023), the increase in KWG's membership numbers suggests that the journal will be able to secure funding from its own resources.
