Humanimalia

Aims & Scope

Humanimalia is a biannual journal devoted to the study of human–animal relations. It is interdisciplinary, Diamond open-access, and peer-reviewed, publishing original articles from a wide range of cultural, historical, philosophical, political, and aesthetic perspectives. We invite innovative work that situates these topics within contemporary culture via a variety of critical approaches, including but not limited to feminism, queer theory, critical race studies, political economy, ethnography, ethnozoology, literary criticism, science and technology studies, and media studies. Ideally, we seek papers that combine approaches, or at the very least draw upon research in other disciplines to contextualize their arguments. As much as possible, we seek papers that acknowledge and seek to advance a more-than-human conception of aesthetics, culture, and society. We publish articles of 6,000–12,000 words and seek both broad, theoretical submissions that have a conceptual focus and intervene in the field of animal studies, and also more particularly focused works that situate their arguments within more specific fields, debates and examples. All articles are double-blind peer reviewed. We also invite proposals for special issues or special sections clustered around a particular topic or theme. Humanimalia also publishes reviews of items of interest to the broader field of animal studies, including books, new journals, films, conferences, and exhibitions. Reviews should involve a description of the item’s content, an assessment of its likely audience, and an evaluation of its importance in a larger context.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
