Anamesa is an interdisciplinary academic journal published by New York University, specifically by students of the John W. Draper Master's Program in Humanities and Social Thought. From its debut in the spring of 2003 up until the spring of 2010 it was jointly funded and edited with the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies.[1] Since the CLACS withdrew its support the journal is undergoing a restructuring of its web presence and information presented on the existing site may be inaccurate.
According to the journal's website, Anamesa's founders envisioned the journal as a literary space in which to converge upon, examine, and debate the broad themes that ground the work of graduate students in the humanities.
In the spirit of interdisciplinarity, Anamesa focuses on writing and art that "blur boundaries, re-imagine links, and explore the between." In Greek, anamesa is an adverb that means "between".[2]
According to the journal's website, the official mission of Anamesa is to provide a forum for NYU graduate students to share their interdisciplinary work and examine that of fellow students. Anamesa's intention is to generate and transmit knowledge among disciplines by engaging the broad themes that ground academic work, and establish a record of how NYU graduate students have thought about these issues over time.[3]
The journal produces two issues per year. Prior editions with CLACS cycled though four themes: Democracy, Culture, Violence, and an Editor's Choice. As of fall 2010 the editors have decided to reevaluate the issue of what themes to use and especially their set rotation, which may be dropped as a format choice.
