Eurozine is a network of European cultural journals based in Vienna, linking up more than 60 partner journals and associated magazines and institutions from 34 European countries. Eurozine is also a netmagazine which publishes original articles and selected articles from its partner journals in several languages.
By providing a Europe-wide overview of current themes and discussions, Eurozine offers a source of information for an international readership and facilitates communication and exchange between authors and intellectuals from all over Europe and worldwide. Eurozine's editor-in-chief is Carl Henrik Fredriksson and the managing director is Michaela Adelberger.
History: The European Meetings of Cultural Journals
Eurozine emerged from an informal network dating back to 1983. Since that time, a variety of European cultural magazines have met once a year in European cities to exchange ideas and experiences. In the meantime, approximately 100 periodicals from almost every European country have become involved in the meetings.
The success of these meetings and the rapid development of the Internet encouraged the editors to reinforce the existing loose network with a virtual but more systematic one. Eurozine was established in 1998 in Vienna.
Today, Eurozine hosts the European Meeting of Cultural Journals each year together with one or more of its partners.
The journals Kritika & Kontext (Bratislava), Mittelweg 36 (Hamburg), Ord&Bild (Göteborg), Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais (Coimbra), Transit - Europäische Revue (Vienna), and Wespennest (Vienna) are Eurozine's founders.
Aims
Eurozine's aims are:
- To contribute to a European public sphere by encouraging transnational exchange and debate
- To offer authors and intellectuals from all over Europe a space for dialogue where they can present their work outside of their national context
- To promote cultural journals, usually characterized by high quality but low circulation, by linking them up via the network and presenting their content to a wide readership
