African Identities provides a critical forum for the examination of African and diasporic expressions, representations and identities. The aim of this journal is to open up various horizons in the field: to encourage the development of theory and practice in a wider spread of disciplinary approaches; to promote conceptual innovation and to provide a venue for the entry of new perspectives.
Art enables people to define their worlds, express themselves, and show their beliefs and values. Making, using and learning from artworks are fundamental to human social life, imagination and sensory engagement. Through art, ideas take physical and tangible form and become available for new forms of seeing, understanding and writing.
Third Text has established itself as the leading international journal dedicated to the critical analysis of contemporary art in the global field. It has brought with that analysis a particular focus on both the impact of globalisation on cultural practices and the lessons of postcolonial theory. The journal has created a significant archive of critical knowledge to benefit artists, researchers and art historians.
From its inception, Critical Arts examined the relationship between texts and contexts, cultural formations and popular forms of expression, mainly in the Third World, but after the 1994 transition in South Africa Critical Arts repositioned itself in the South-North and East-West nexus focusing on developing transdisciplinary epistemologies. Critical Arts ' authors are Africans debating Africa with the rest; and the rest debating Africa and the South and with each other.
African Arts is a quarterly journal devoted to the plastic and graphic arts of Africa, broadly defined to encompass sculpture in wood, metal, ceramic, ivory, and stone, and less familiar work in fiber, hide, mud, and other materials. Included in the mandate are architecture, arts of personal adornment, contemporary fine and popular arts, and arts of the African diaspora. In addition the journal encourages dialogue on other forms of African expressive culture: film, theater, dance, and music.
Critical Interventions: Journal of African Art History and Visual Culture is a forum for advanced research and writing that investigates African and African Diaspora art and cultural identities in the age of globalization. As an arena for rethinking African art history and interrogating the value of African art and cultural knowledge in the global economy and how that knowledge is transmitted, Critical Interventions is particularly interested in the politics of the commodification of African artworks and of their reception.
The South African Journal of Art History is a peer reviewed journal publishing articles and review articles on the following subjects: Art and architectural history; Art and architectural theory; Athetics and philosophy of art; Visual culture; Art and the environment; Film; Craft
