Scientific work

The Journal is an internationally recognized magazine published by Sage London.

The magazine publishes empirically founded research articles in cultural studies . "European" means the original location where the journal originated and not the scope of the published work. Joke Hermes understands cultural studies as the study of the practices of giving meaning in everyday life and the power relations that enable and limit these practices. Global and local media texts and practices form an important part of these practices and can be found regularly in the magazine.

Reading Women's Magazines

In this study , Joke Hermes examines women's magazines from the perspective of their readers. She explores the ways individuals use media products in their daily lives, as well as the interpretive repertoires they use to make sense of media texts.

Joke Hermes confirms the hypothesis that for many readers women's magazines are a means to an end to bridge unused time. In individual cases, these also offer stories or information that can strengthen the reader for a while. The study offers both a detailed analysis of a participatory media genre and an excellent introduction to the role of media in the everyday life of individuals.
