Genealogy+Critique

Aims & Scope

Genealogy+Critique (G+C) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal focusing on genealogical research and a broad conception of critical theory. Combining historical and systematic forms of inquiry, it fosters critical analyses of the present written in English, German, or French. The interdisciplinary journal also aims at confronting historical-genealogical and critical theory approaches with concepts and methods in more recent fields of knowledge such as media studies, digital humanities, design research, or science and technology studies. The journal publishes research in critical genealogy and critical theory in English, German, and French. It focuses on combining historical analysis and theory formation in plain and concise language. Pursuing an interdisciplinary approach, the journal welcomes theoretical and empirical contributions from scholars in the humanities and the social sciences. G+C aims at: analyzing contemporary social, ethical, political, cultural, juridical, economic, technological, communication, and media phenomena and transformations from historical-genealogical and/or critical theory perspectives; cross-fertilizing critical genealogy and critical theory; exploring the critical potentials of genealogical methods; fostering dialogue between various schools of critical inquiry such as Marxism, the Frankfurt School, phenomenology, poststructuralism, and deconstruction; confronting genealogical research and scholarship in critical theory with more current approaches in, for example, cultural and media studies, digital humanities and design research, science and technology studies, as well as postcolonial, gender, race, and antisemitism studies.
