About the journal

For more than twenty years Public Culture has been publishing field-defining ethnographies and analyses of the cultural politics of globalization. Providing a forum for the internationalization of cultural studies, Public Culture essays have mapped the capital, human, and media flows drawing cities, peoples, and states into transnational relationships and political economies. Anthropologists, historians, sociologists, artists, and scholars of politics, literatures, architecture, and the arts have made groundbreaking contributions in its pages. With its essays and visual pieces, the journal increasingly shapes the way we talk about public cultures and globalization in a diasporic world. Public Culture's concern with transnationalism has shaped and been shaped by an international readership, and the journal is today the medium for conceptual and political discussion for an emerging international public sphere.
Public Culture is a three-time CELJ award-winning journal with an avid and forward-thinking multidisciplinary readership around the world.

With regard to aspects of style and spelling not explicitly addressed therein, please follow The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th ed., and Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 11th ed. Authors may elect to use either the author-date or documentary-note citation system.
Images. All images must be received in a digital format and at a minimum of 300 DPI. While we welcome proposals as to why particular images should appear in color, all decisions about publishing in color will be made (on both financial and aesthetic considerations) by the editorial office. If the images are illustrations in a research essay, please indicate clearly in the body of the text where the images are to be inserted and provide appropriate captions. If the images are part of photo-essay or other visual essay, artists should bear in mind the following:
Layout: All essays begin on a recto (right-hand) page. Final decisions regarding layout will rest with the editorial office.

In the case of submissions initially made as hard copies, please submit camera-ready copy, preferably in black-and-white. For photographs, 8x10 black-and-white glossy prints are strongly preferred. Photocopies of photographs are usually not acceptable. Please provide, on a separate page, an art log listing a caption for each illustration. If you wish us to return your images after review or publication, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
Permissions. Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission to reprint any illustrations. Please note that our publisher, Duke University Press, strongly prefers obtaining permission even when the image is likely under public domain. Please consult the editorial office with any questions.
