Scholars are encouraged to contribute theoretical or empirical articles that push boundaries and challenge traditional academic canons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why This Issue Matters<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Cultural Studies emerged post-WWII as a field concerned with <strong>power, ideology, and inequality<\/strong> in everyday life. While originally rooted in the UK, its reach has expanded into various regional contexts\u2014including <strong>Iberia<\/strong>, where Media and Communication Studies (MCS) departments have become central to its evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current media landscape in Iberia, shaped by figures like <strong>Rosal\u00eda, Bel\u00e9n Esteban, Mar\u00eda Pombo<\/strong>, and <strong>Ibai Llanos<\/strong>, provides rich material for critical cultural inquiry. These public figures and the digital practices surrounding them offer insight into how <strong>gender, race, ethnicity, class, and taste<\/strong> intersect in popular culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This special issue seeks to reevaluate how topics previously dismissed as trivial can in fact offer profound insights into contemporary society, particularly amid ongoing <strong>ideological struggles, social inequalities, and digital transformations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Topics of Interest<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The guest editors welcome submissions on (but not limited to) the following themes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Audiences and fandoms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Popular culture and cultural production<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digital culture and AI-driven cultural automation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Youth, age studies, and consumption practices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gender, LGTBIQ+ perspectives, and intersectionality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Celebrity studies and star systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Game studies and television culture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social imaginaries and media discourses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cultural labour and precarious work in creative industries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Research methods in Cultural Studies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Submission Guidelines<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Authors are invited to submit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Research articles<\/strong> (approx. 7,000 words)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Viewpoint articles<\/strong> (up to 3,000 words, including notes and references)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All research submissions will undergo <strong>double-blind peer review<\/strong>.
