Appearing three times a year, Visual Culture in Britain is dedicated to exploring the generative interrelations between visual culture, individuals, and societies in Britain, both historically and today. The journal publishes new peer-reviewed scholarship that investigates the forms, spaces, processes, and politics through which visual worlds/materials are made meaningful, and examines their effects within an expanded and unsettled concept of ‘Britishness’. Visual Culture in Britain is inclusive and interdisciplinary, welcoming submissions at any time, for original articles, features, special issues, and reviews (Provided by Publisher).

Google Scholar can be a useful tool to use when searching for journal articles. However, it's important to be aware that Google Scholar will return results for articles, journals and other resources that the Library doesn't necessarily subscribe to and which you might not have free access to as a student at the University of Manchester.
In order to make it easier to identify and access content provided by the Library when searching Google (and without having to visit Library Search), we recommend that you download Library Access. This is a useful browser extension that will pop-up and notify you when you are on a journal or website that the Library has a subscription for.
If you are unable to access an article that you need, fill in the Order an Article form and we will get it for you.
University staff should use the Order an Article (Staff) form.
