Welcome to the world of Eurozine, a unique publishing project that emerged from the geopolitical landscape of 1983. In a time of Cold War division and mutual challenges, the European Meeting of Cultural Journals was born, bringing together journals from across Europe to share ideas and build a shared culture.
Over the years, Eurozine has evolved and expanded, partnering with over 100 journals, magazines, and institutions from European countries. Today, Eurozine offers translations and language versions in addition to its English language publishing, highlighting the diversity and richness of European intellectual thought.
But what role has the internet played in this evolution? In a world where technology is constantly changing, Eurozine has embraced the digital age, using the internet as a tool for dissemination and reaching a wider audience. The archival function of the internet has also been a compelling reason for print magazines to utilize this platform, preserving their content for future generations.
However, not everyone has been quick to embrace the internet. Some editors have expressed skepticism about the relevance of online content, believing it to be primarily focused on trivial matters. Despite these doubts, Eurozine has continued to adapt and thrive in the digital landscape, pushing the boundaries of cultural content and challenging the future of publishing.
