Book History

Online International Journal of Arts and Humanities is a double blind peer-review, multidisciplinary, international, open access journal that provides a RAPID avenue to publish applied researches in the various fields of arts and humanities that can result in the development of new procedures that can lead to improvement in these areas.

In itself a contentious category, 'theoretical humanities' represents the productive nexus of work in the disciplinary fields of literary criticism and theory, philosophy, and cultural studies. The journal is dedicated to the refreshing of intellectual coordinates, and to the challenging and vivifying process of re-thinking.
