Open access The Journal for Reading Decoloniality (ISSN 2977-8573) is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to reading as an ethical, political, and embodied-relational practice.
We welcome work from those that draw inspiration from material struggles while forging affective relationalities across transversal contexts. Authors of the Journal often explore resonances among seemingly disparate activisms across the global south and the north, with a commitment to evolving epistemologies of care in the process. The Journal’s contributions are interdisciplinary and grounded in collaborative, ethnographic, linguistic, literary, artistic, or environmental methods.
We are particularly alert to the potential of decolonial theories and methodologies attentive to how knowledge circulates between community and academic contexts. The journal invites creative reflections and scholarly interventions that map countertopographies of struggles against both past and ongoing forms of colonialism, racial capitalism, and other forms of oppression. We believe that such countermapping across varied geographical contexts can help mobilise transnational solidarities, ushering in invigorating forms of doing and not simply representing politics.
Research published in the Journal does not only intervene in academic debates, but also remains answerable to the communities, struggles, and ecologies from which it emerges. Discourses of reciprocity, sustainability, and community accountability have been key to the work of authors.
