Recognizing that no medium exists in isolation, media ecology is a critical practice that studies media as dynamic and evolving systems. While this practice often looks to Marshall McLuhan’s Understanding Media (1964) or Harold Innis’s The Bias of Communication (1951) as foundational texts analyzing the effect of media forms on human communication, a media ecological impulse crosses disciplinary boundaries and has seeped into conversations about perception, affect, the virtual, spectatorship, biopolitics, digital art, fandom, and political economy. InterCulture requests submissions that examine the dynamism of media in motion. We are interested in historical, political, economic, and cross-cultural approaches as well as work demonstrating the possibilities for media ecology in the study of fine art, music, literature, film, television, and digital technologies.

Possible subjects include, but are not limited to the study of:
---advertising
---media-rich environments
---the screen
---affective capacities of media
---ecological crisis
---the virtual
---convergence
---the public sphere
---theme parks, sporting venues
---the post-televisual or post-cinematic

Being an interdisciplinary journal, we welcome work from any discipline, as well as interviews, photo essays, videos, and creative writing. We are also interested in publishing reviews on academic texts, fiction, film, art exhibitions, video games, or any other cultural objects. These could range from traditional reviews to more creative think pieces that study an advertisement, for example. Feel free to write the editor (interculturejournal@gmail.com) if you want feedback on any ideas for a review you have in mind.

All citations must use the MLA format. Please include a 100 – 200 word abstract with your submission that will be included alongside your paper should it be published. No abstract is required for reviews. For more information regarding the submission of creative work or other inquiries, see the “Submission Guidelines” on InterCulture’s website at .

Please send submissions via e-mail to:
