On-line publications


Here is a list of on-line publications which carry articles on the civilization of English-speaking countries, either exclusively or partially.

American Studies Journals: the American Studies Association, in cooperation with the Andrew F. Mellon Foundation, publishes online a directory of links to American Studies publications all over the world. According to their home page, this website provides scholars with a one-stop shop for the latest research published in American Studies journals throughout the world. The site is the result of a collaboration between 31 journal editors in 17 countries.

1) 49th Parallel
This online interdisciplinary journal of North American Studies is published by the Department of American and Canadian Studies at the University of Birmingham (Great Britain). There are occasionally special issues like issue #6 on "Race and Ethnicity" in 2000.

2) American Quarterly (Journal of the American Studies Association)
The online version of this review is available free to members of the ASA. It is not yet possible to obtain an online subscription if you are not a member but, theoretically, this may be available in the future. The articles deal exclusively with American Studies in all its forms, except literature. Special issues deal with particularly controversial topics: for example, "Los Angeles and the Future of Urban Cultures" in September 2004 and "Technology and American Culture" in September 2006.

3) Anglow (University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines)

This review of issues in the news in the English-speaking world is written and edited by post-graduate students, with the help of their teachers and is most useful for other students and for secondary-school teachers. The current layout is a lead interview followed by a series of articles, for the most part short syntheses of already-published newspaper articles..

4) Cercles
Cercles calls itself a "multidisciplinary review of the English-speaking world" and publishes articles on both literature and civilization, although some issues seem to be much heavier on literature. Although occasional issues are devoted to pop culture (for example: issue #3 on British and American pop music or issue #8 on "Gender, Race and Class in American TV") the articles seem to be written for specialists rather than for enlightened amateurs who would like to learn more about a subject and some are particularly abstruse and impenetrable to the non-specialist (issue #9 on lingustics is a good example). Few, if any, articles venture beyond the frontiers of Great Britain and the United States, with the exception of issue #5 on American foreign policy, although the review may evolve further in the future.

5) European Journal of American Studies (European Association for American Studies)

6) LISA (University of Caen)
LISA has been published since 2003 at the University of Caen in Normandy. Written in French, it covers the literatures, history of ideas, societies and images of the English-speaking world
.

7) Sources (University of Orléans — Editions Paradigme)
This review offers articles on both literature and civilization, occasionally articles dealing with the subjects of the national competitive exams (CAPES and Agrégation), although the latter do not appear on a regular basis.

8) TransatlanticA (online review of the Association française d'études américaines)
So far, this review is coming online at the rate of one issue a year, with articles ranging widely over the field of American Studies, from history to literature and all points in between. Most of the articles are easily accessible to non-specialists, although some more than others.
