BUKS Journal of Child and Youth Cultures, Vol. 73/2026
In collaboration with the BIN-Norden conference – BUKS Journal of Child and Youth Cultures seeks contributions for a special issue exploring the aesthetic, practical, and ideological aspects of child and youth cultures today. We invite submissions that examine the poetics – the creative promises of youth culture – and the politics – the barriers preventing these cultures from reaching their full potential.
In this special issue, we aim to continue the discussions on the challenges facing child and youth culture, including funding cuts, AI, unequal access, and adult control, in a time marked by global challenges.
