The disciplinary dimensions to which the journal responds to covers sociology and social anthropology in the main, and sociology of education, sociology of medicine, arts and aesthetics, cultural studies, sociology of mass media, sociology of law, urban studies and so on. However it will be open to contributions from other disciplines in the wider domains of social sciences and humanities in so far as they inform the disciplinary dimensions identified above. The journal possesses an international character in two senses: regional internalism and trans-regional internationalism. On one level, it focuses on readership and contributions from the scholars of South Asian countries (SAARC countries) and on the other it will appeal to scholars beyond South Asia who exhibit intellectual interest in the discourses on and from South Asia. The journal publishes contributions, which partake in the larger ‘sociological’ discourse. Though the journal reflects interest in the formation and articulation of culture, articles which are based on the practical dimension of skills of producers of art will not be solicited. Instead, the journal will publish discussions on artistic features based on series of photographs/other visual artworks /theatre performances and so on which reflect ongoing sociological debates focused on the wider domains of society and culture.
