the world of music (new series)

"the world of music" (new series) is a globally established Diamond open access scholarly journal that aims to bring together current theoretical and analytical perspectives on the world's music and dance practices. Each issue is dedicated to a specific topic. Nevertheless, "the world of music" (new series) is not limited to a specific region of the world or a particular methodological approach. We publish innovative, and sometimes provocative, interventions from all over the world. Our target audience includes musicologists and musicians, dance researchers, cultural anthropologists and cultural studies scholars in a broader sense, as well as people working in postcolonial studies and related fields. The contributions in the world of music (new series) are based on a wide range of theoretical perspectives, but share a common goal: to gain a deeper understanding of the world's music, its history(ies) and diverse contexts. One of our stated aims is to promote a productive and creative dialog between music researchers from very different places and academic contexts.

New American Studies Journal: A Forum

The journal "New American Studies: A Forum" is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by the Göttingen University Press. It offers scholars an alternative to commercial publishers and reflects the intention to provide a forum where different people with different perspectives and specializations can come together to discuss issues of cultural and political relevance. We also plan to open the journal to various communication formats - such as symposia, recorded lectures and podcasts - that promote dialog and exchange.
