AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF CULTURAL STUDIES AVAILABLE ON-LINE What was possibly the first Cultural Studies journal was started at Curtin University of Technology and Murdoch University back in 1983. It was called the Australian Journal of Cultural Studies. The journal ran for four years. In 1987, after considerable negotiation, the journal was transformed into the journal now called Cultural Studies. Originally, the AJCS was typed up and photocopied. Through funding provided by the Faculty of Media, Society and Culture at Curtin Jon Stratton has been able to get the AJCS scanned in and made available on the web. The journal contains articles by many people who are well-known in the area including Graeme Turner, John Frow, Stephen Mueke, Cathy Greenfield, Tom O'Regan, Lesley Johnson and John Hartley. The AJCS has both historical value and intellectual importance. It is available at: http://info.ccs.curtin.edu.au/AJCSjournal_index.cfm Graeme Turner also has custodianship of an archive of correspondence about the journal and he would be happy to make this available to people researching the history of the journal and of Cultural Studies in Australia. Graeme can be contacted via The Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies at the University of Queensland. ACME: An International E-Journal for Critical Geographies An on-line peer-reviewed international journal for critical and radical analyses of the social, the spatial and the political. The journal's purpose is to provide a forum for the publication of critical and radical work about space in the social sciences - including anarchist, anti-racist, environmentalist, feminist, marxist, postcolonial, poststructuralist, queer, situationist and socialist perspectives. A peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary electronic journal. Includes emuse, a moderated discussion forum, and the good oil, an announcements board. Australian Journal of Cultural Studies The Australian Journal of Cultural Studies aims to provide a platform for research and debate in cultural studies. The journal's interests embrace the full range of the productions of the culture—accepting the value of analysis of such produced texts as television and film, of 'lived' texts such as sport and recreational activities, and cultural motifs such as the beach and the barbecue. The AJCS will encourage articles dealing with the theory and practice of culture, the reception and creation of texts, and the particular ways in which the Australian culture endows its members with a cultural identity, Australian ideologies and myths. There will be an editorial leaning towards articles with a linguistic, semiotic, or structuralist theoretical base, though this will not be an exclusive condition. The AJCS will not only serve Australian interests but will keep up to date with developments in theory and practice elsewhere; to this end, a regular feature will be the inclusion of a translation of a seminal European article hitherto unavailable in English and of theoretical articles by European and American authorities. The journal is published twice yearly.

Two issues per volume are published. Over the life of the journal funding has principally come from the The Australian Film Commission. Continuum is a thematically based cultural studies journal. The primary focus of the journal is upon screen media; but our understanding of 'media' also includes publishing, broadcasting and public exhibitionary media such as museums and sites. The journal promotes an interventionist strategy by announcing areas of work in cultural and screen studies in Australia that need to be covered, and then sets about covering these through its special issues. In this way their aim is to help set the agenda for cultural and screen studies in Australia.
