parallax
Elegant, literate, questioning, preposterous at times, never the least bit boring - parallax is that rare and wonderful thing, a real critical journal.
In the flood of bland, semi-identical publications now credentialling cultural studies, it stands out bright as a beacon.
parallax is an internationally recognised scholarly journal with a reputation for bringing together outstanding new work in cultural studies, critical theory and continental philosophy.
Founded in 1995 within the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies at the University of Leeds, parallax is published by Taylor & Francis and is ranked Q1 (Impact Factor and CiteScore Best Quartile) and indexed in the Arts and Humanities Citation Index® among others.
parallax is a quarterly journal that only publishes themed issues. As such, parallax never considers individual articles, but welcomes issue proposals from prospective Guest Editors. Each issue aims to provoke exploratory, interdisciplinary thinking and debate, and provides a forum for a wide spectrum of perspectives on a topical question or concern.
parallax engages with debates in cultural studies, critical theory, cultural history, continental philosophy, gender studies, queer theory, postcolonial theory, English and comparative literature, aesthetics, art history and visual cultures among many others.
Guest Editors, issue proposals and article submission
Unlike most comparable journals, parallax only publishes themed issues. Each issue is organized and edited by a Guest Editor in collaboration with the parallax editorial team.
Prospective Guest Editors are invited to submit a formal proposal after consulting the parallax Guidelines for Issue Proposals.
Most parallax articles are solicited by the Guest Editor of a particular issue, although on occasion, an issue will make available a call for papers through the Taylor and Francis parallax site.
parallax never considers articles sent without reference to an active Call for Papers.
Associate Editors
parallax offers a small number of part-time Associate Editorships to postgraduate students at the University of Leeds, who work at the journal with the Executive Editor, typically for a period of two years. Openings are announced periodically via the Graduate School Postgraduate Researcher mailing list within the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures.
Associate Editors work as a team to produce the journal, and gain valuable experience in academic publishing and by working with major and emergent international scholars.
