About the journal
First published in 2020, Political Anthropological Research on International Social Sciences (PARISS) is a cutting edge academic journal whose mission is to create a space for outstanding scholarship on the political, the anthropological, and the international marginalized elsewhere due to academic conventions. Encouraging transversal social inquiries and stylistic experimentation, PARISS seeks to transcend disciplinary, linguistic and cultural fragmentations characteristic of the contemporary international social sciences. To promote a plurality of ways of thinking, researching and writing, PARISS is committed to visibilizing contemporary social scientists, especially from non-English-speaking countries, whose works challenge established boundaries but have failed to internationalize precisely because of their unorthodoxy. It also offers academics a unique location to reflexively analyze their own socio-professional worlds and critique transformations presently redefining the contemporary university.
