Atlantic Studies: Global Currents[1] is a quarterly journal with a transdisciplinary focus that has been published by Routledge[2] since 2004. Until 2014, it was subtitled 'Atlantic Studies: Literary, Historical, and Cultural Perspectives. Afterwards, the current subtitle "Global Currents" was adopted, as it reflects the field's continuing focus on circulation and expanded exchange throughout the Atlantic world and beyond. The journal frames the Atlantic world as a cultural, historical, and conceptual space, and features innovative research that highlights this paradigm. It highlights the transdisciplinary, transnational, and transhistorical perspectives that frame the Atlantic as a global space, but at the same time it looks beyond the Atlantic as a singular, enclosed space. Instead, it frames the Atlantic as an integral aspect of broader global networks, an expanding paradigm that is unconstrained by geographical limits, and characterized by global flows. It is published on behalf of MESEA, the Society for Multi-Ethnic Studies: Europe and the Americas.[3] A main focus of the journal is to confront longstanding orthodoxies that have drawn sharp lines between the Atlantic world and the broader global context in which it exists, especially in connection to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
History
The journal has worked, from the start, with an interdisciplinary and international co-editorial team of four editors to enable the publication to work in various scholarly disciplines. Past editors include William Boelhower (University of Padua, Italy, and Louisiana State University, USA); Stephen Fender (University of Sussex, UK); Richard Follett (University of Sussex, UK); David Lambert (University of Warwick, UK); Maria Lauret (University of Sussex, UK); William O'Reilly (University of Cambridge, UK), and Neil Safier (Brown University, USA). The current editors are Rocío Davis (University of Navarra, Spain); Dorothea Fischer-Hornung (Heidelberg University, Germany); Nathaniel Millett (Saint Louis University, USA); and Manuel Barcia (University of Leeds, UK).
The journal is supported by an Editorial Board[4] consisting of distinguished internationally renowned scholars from diverse disciplines.
Atlantic Studies also supports the recognition of authors and artists, for example, the publication of "Monument Talk"[5] by Lubaina Himid in a special issue on "The Slave Trade's Dissonant Heritage: Memorial Sites, Museum Practices, and Dark Tourism," a decade before her related exhibition at London's Tate Modern.[6] The special issue thereby participated in the on-going discussion on the role of monuments in public life.
Early Career Essay Prize
In 2015, the journal inaugurated its annual Early Career Essay Prize,[7] which recognizes Atlantic Studies' best essay in a given year by an early career scholar, making their work freely accessible and offering a small monetary prize. Past recipients include Joanne Chassot (2015); Johan Heinsen (2016); Erin Zavitz (2017); Matilde Cazzola (2018); Aaron Pinnix (2019); Kirsty Bennett (2020); and Bethan Fisk (2021).
