About ABC: Our Mission

American, British and Canadian Studies: the Journal of the Academic Anglophone Society of Romania

ISSN 1841-1487 (Print)

ISSN 1841-964X (Online)

ABC is the journal of the Academic Anglophone Society of Romania, based at Lucian Blaga University, Sibiu, and it has been published since 1999.  Re-launched in refashioned, biannual format, ABC is an international, peer-reviewed journal that sets out to explore disciplinary developments in Anglophone Studies in the changing environment forged by the intersections of culture, technology and electronic information. Our primary goal is to bring together in productive dialogue scholars conducting advanced research in the theoretical humanities. As well as offering innovative approaches to influential crosscurrents in current thinking, the journal seeks to contribute fresh angles to the academic subject of English and promote shape-changing research across conventional boundaries. By virtue of its dynamic and varied profile and of the intercultural dialogue that it caters for, ABC aims to fill a gap in the Romanian academic arena, and function as the first publication to approach Anglophone studies in a multi-disciplinary perspective. To respond to the increasing demands of ‘acceleration’ in the twenty-first century, an electronic edition of the journal is now being made available, offering full access to subscribers,  and free access to the tables of contents and abstracts of each issue to non-subscribers. Within the proposed range of diversity, our major scope is to provide close examinations and lucid analyses of the role and future of the academic institutions at the cutting edge of high-tech. With this end in view, we especially invite contributions in the fields of Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies, Postcolonial Theory, Social and Political Science, Cultural Anthropology, Area Studies, Multimedia and Digital Arts. With its wide subject range, ABC aims to become one of the academic community's premium electronic journals resources. Articles published in ABC are abstracted and indexed on the journal’s website.
