***ANNOUNCING CA: JOURNAL OF CULTURAL ANALYTICS***
I am very pleased to announce the pending launch of CA: Journal of Cultural
Analytics, an open-access web-based academic journal that will focus on the
computational study of culture. CA’s mission is to use data-driven
approaches towards the study of literature, culture and history.
Our mandate is as capacious as it is focused: to transform the humanities
through the use of new kinds of methods and evidence grounded in the
critical, creative, and theoretical traditions of humanistic inquiry. CA
seeks to publish articles that intervene in existing critical debates about
culture and establish new lines of inquiry using computational methods. We
will have sections on peer-reviewed articles, reviews of new data sets, and
a debates section that engages in more timely discussions about new
directions in the field.
Below you will find the contents of the inaugural issue and the members of
the editorial board.
Our launch is scheduled for May 2016. We look forward to your feedback and
submissions!
Sincerely,
Andrew Piper
