Captures

Aims & Scope

Captures is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to the publication of works devoted to the figures, theories, and practices of the imaginary, without territorial or national limitations. Captures publishes articles at the crossroads of literary and film studies, humanities, art history and architecture, as well as visual and media arts. It is a French-language journal that also welcomes publications written in English. The articles published highlight, on a theoretical or analytical level, the cultural dimension of the relationship between the subject and the contemporary world. This relationship is established through figures and myths, fictions and beliefs, social representations and technological mutations, texts and images, places and digital interfaces, all forms and phenomena that constitute a contemporary imaginary. Captures brings together, in the form of thematic dossiers, contributions attentive to the most recent manifestations as well as to the historical and theoretical foundations of this imaginary. The journal also publishes standalone articles (section "Hors dossier") in line with its mandate. Captures finally offers a showcase for literary and artistic practices demonstrating particular acuity towards the themes developed in each issue. The imaginary is not just an object of research, but also a tool for analysis and knowledge. Captures acknowledges this heuristic dimension by opting for a format that resolutely relies on the reactive potential of the Web. Integrated into the research and knowledge environments put online by Figura, the journal exploits Web resources by publishing evolving issues, open to continuous and peripheral enrichments with each publication. Without periodicity constraints, Captures publishes reviews of exhibitions or readings, contributions associated with the theme of the upcoming dossier, or texts resulting from a previously published dossier (section "Actualités"). More than a place for research dissemination, Captures is a dynamic resource fully assuming the mutability of its medium.
