No. 4 (2016): Spring 2016: Culture and Resistance

In this issue we have chosen to focus on the topics of culture and resistance, aiming to explore cultures and their spaces whilst understanding the ways in which certain cultural groups have utilised and reshaped or challenged conventional notions of resistance. Whilst exploring what it means to resist in different cultures, we aim to showcase works which uncover and discuss areas of resistance which in the dominant historical narrative would be overlooked. The work in this journal endeavours to unveil a variety of different means of resistance through areas such as unionisation, solidarity, collaboration, music and fiction, providing a variety of unique perspectives across a vast time period.  

Edited by Alice Long and Olivia Lipski.
