Open Access Anthropology

For those who have not encountered it yet, I wanted to call attention to the open access journal Cultural Analysis. As its editors describe it, “Cultural Analysis is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to investigating expressive and everyday culture. The journal features analytical research articles, but also includes notes, reviews, and responses.” In its 6th volume, the journal features smart articles followed by responses authored by leading scholars in anthropology, folklore and cultural studies. A new issue has just appeared online and can be found here. Begun by students in the folklore program at UC-Berkeley, the journal’s editorial collective is increasingly distributed around the world but the journal continues to receive support from the Berkeley campus. If you are browsing the journal’s back issues, do not miss my friend Dorothy Noyes’ wonderful paper “The Judgment of Solomon: Global Protections for Tradition and the Problem of Community Ownership”, which appeared in volume 5.)
