There are various journals that I have subscribed
to in the past, or have found particularly useful for tracking
down information.
Invisible
Culture: An Electronic Journal for Visual Culture (Online
only)
This journal is dedicated to explorations of the material
and political dimensions of cultural practices: the means by which
cultural objects and communities are produced, the historical
contexts in which they emerge, and the regimes of knowledge or
modes of social interaction to which they contribute.
As the title suggests, Invisible Culture problematizes
the unquestioned alliance between culture and visibility, specifically
visual culture and vision. Cultural practices and materials emerge
not solely in the visible world, but also in the social, temporal,
and theoretical relations that define the invisible. Our understanding
of Cultural Studies, finally, maintains that culture is fugitive
and is constantly renegotiated.
Journal
of Contemporary British History (Frank Cass)
"Contemporary British History is the academic platform for
the broadening of the understanding of all aspects of the recent
past in the UK. The focus is on the history which has unfolded
within living memory. The journal takes an interdisciplinary approach,
publishing the work of historians and also articles of a historical
nature by other specialists such as political scientists, sociologists
and media analysts. Alongside the best of new research in the
various fields of contemporary history the journal continues to
feature archive reports, a reviews section and witness seminars
on key features of recent years."
Journal

The Journal of Contemporary History is an international forum
for the analysis of twentieth century European history.The journal
has long been established as essential reading for all scholars
in contemporary European and international history. The Journal
of Contemporary History publishes articles covering a broad range

intellectual rigour and the accessible style of its contributions.

Nations
and Nationalism (Blackwell)
"Nationalism is one of the central issues of the modern
world. Since the demise of the Soviet Union there has been a proliferation
of nationalist and ethnic conflicts. The consequent explosion
of interest in ethnicity and nationalism has created an urgent
need for systematic study in this field. Nations and Nationalism
aims to satisfy this need. As a scholarly, multidisciplinary and
interdisciplinary journal, it is designed to respond to the rapid
growth of research in the study of nationalism and nationalist
movements throughout the world. Nations and Nationalism is the
only journal in the English-speaking world specifically devoted
to the study of nationalism."
Twentieth
Century British History (Oxford University Press)
"Twentieth Century British History covers the variety
of British history in this century in all its aspects. It links
the many different and specialized branches of historical scholarship
with work in political science and related disciplines. The journal
seeks to transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries, in order
to foster the study of patterns of change and continuity across
the twentieth century. The editors are committed to publishing
work that examines the British experience within a comparative
context, whether European or Anglo-American."
Visual
Communication (Sage)
Launched in February 2002, Visual Communication
is expected to provide an international forum for the growing
body of work in visual communication. The journal's definition
of the visual is broad and includes: still and moving images;
graphic design and typography; visual phenomena such as fashion,
professional vision, posture and interaction; the built and landscaped
environment; the role of the visual in relation to language, music,
sound and action. Visual Communication is interdisciplinary bringing
together articles from a range of subjects, including: anthropology,
communication studies, discourse studies and semiotics, media
and cultural studies, sociology, disciplines dealing with history,
theory and practice of visual design.
Volume
1, Issue 1
Visual
Culture in Britain (Ashgate)
"Since its inception in Summer 2000, this twice yearly
journal has established itself as the forum for innovative research
into visual culture in Britain. Its range encompasses the study
of painting and sculpture, architecture and design, film, photography
and the performing arts in relation to the wider culture
both historically and geographically. Visual Culture in
Britain addresses debates concerning racial, ethnic and gender
identities, nationality and internationalism, colonialism, high
and low culture, the role of institutions, cultural groupings
and models of production and consumption, in contexts of the visual.
The Review Section considers recent and new publications of particular
relevance to those engaged in practice or research. The journal
also hosts a series of conferences in venues including Tate Britain,
which extend critical discussion in this burgeoning field."x}
