Flusser Studies

Multilingual Journal for Cultural and Media Theory

Flusser Studies is an international e-journal for academic research dedicated to the thought of Vilém Flusser (1920-1991). In addition to publishing articles about Flusser's work, the journal seeks to promote scholarship on different aspects of specifically interdisciplinary and multilingual approaches Flusser himself developed in the course of his career as a writer and philosopher. These approaches range from Communication Theory to Translation Studies, Cultural Anthropology to the New Media.

Flusser wrote his texts in different languages, repeatedly translating himself, moving from English to Portuguese, German, French and back. Similarly he worked by juxtaposing and contaminating different discourses: philosophy, anthropology, communication theory, art and design, zoology to mention only a few.

Among his most original contributions in this context are his philosophical fictions - above all Vampyroteuthis infernalis – scientific fables on the borderline of literature, science and philosophy.

Flusser Studies is published twice a year. Publication languages include English, German, French, Portuguese and Czech. Some issues will be dedicated to a specific area of research.
