Welcome to the Social History Society

Cultural and Social History


Cultural and Social History is now included (vol. 6 onwards) in the ISI Arts and Humanities Citation Index from volume 6 onwards.

Cultural and Social History was launched in 2004 as the journal of the Social History Society. Its title is designed to reflect recent shifts in the discipline of history in the wake of the cultural turn. It seeks to move the discipline beyond the limits of both cultural and social history as traditionally approached by emphasising the ways in which the social and the cultural are mutually informing and constitutive. An appreciation of the constellation of cultural forces that confer meaning on the lives of historical actors is necessary if we are more fully to understand the social experience of individuals and groups in the past. Similarly, culture is understood not as an entity distinct from society, but as a product of social practice, and therefore at the heart of society itself.

Cultural and Social History front cover
 
The journal seeks to make connections across the broad territory of cultural and social history and across chronological and geographical boundaries. It also aims to make links across the neighbouring sub-disciplines of history (economic, social, cultural and political) and between history and closely related disciplines which concern themselves with the history of culture (primarily literature, history of art, anthropology, cultural/media studies) and between history and the social sciences. The journal is also intended as a forum for methodological debate of broad relevance to historians of any field in which the future directions of the discipline can be discussed and, it is hoped, initiated.
