SPECIAL ISSUEVisual forms of power in the era of crisis

Guest Editor: Vicky Karaiskou

The new form of the Journal of Critical Studies in Business & Society - a sociallyresponsible academic journal - aims to bridge the gap and provide a site for the growingnumber of scholars and researchers who realize that conventional theories are inextricablyconnected with the intensifying disfigurements and dislocations of the modern social,cultural and environmental realms. In view of this, a new literature is emerging that seeksboth to examine corporate or economic globalization as well as social or cultural activityin a critical perspective and to readjust the theoretical accounts and the methodologicalarteries by which academics and practitioners affect these particular activities.

Furthermore, the Journal of Critical Studies in Business & Society encourages integrationof critical knowledge among those disciplines that underpin the complex interrelation andintersection between organizations and society. Articles cover a wide range of topical areaswithin the realm of critical studies, with emphasis on identifying and investigating in aninterdisciplinary manner important organizational, cultural and societal issues and problems.
