Journal of Visual Culture (JVC)

The Journal of Visual Culture is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal that has been shaping international debates in visual studies since its launch in 2002. Published triannually by SAGE Publications, the journal occupies a key space at the intersection of art, media, cultural theory, communication, and interdisciplinary research into visuality. JVC encourages original, critically engaged contributions that rethink how visual forms — from art and photography to film, digital media, and everyday visual practices — shape and reflect social, political, and cultural life across global contexts. Its content spans theoretical essays, empirical research, and thematic explorations, often prioritizing work that challenges conventional disciplinary boundaries and reconfigures how “the visual” is understood in contemporary scholarship. Through its pages, readers encounter thoughtful analyses of power, representation, identity, technology, and aesthetic experience, making the journal essential for academics and graduate students in visual culture studies, cultural studies, media theory, and related fields. JVC also fosters dialogue across diverse methodological approaches, encouraging contributions that deepen our understanding of how images, visual systems, and practices influence individual and collective experiences in an increasingly mediated and visualized world.
