IN THEORY is a new magazine aiming to bring the best of cultural
studies to a diverse non-academic audience. We feature short
commentary on texts and practices specific to contemporary popular
culture: advertisements, films, fashion trends, television shows,
celebrity scandals, web memes, food packaging, greeting cards, advice
columns, etc. Articles should borrow from semiotics, psychoanalysis,
queer theory, narratology, and other academic disciplines associated
with cultural studies and critical theory, while remaining accessible
to a general audience. Ideally, articles should surprise and
entertain, presenting smart, pithy analysis of familiar subject matter.

UPDATE: Conference dates run November 9-11, 2007, in Atlanta, Georgia,
at the Renaissance Atlanta Hotel Downtown.
