Anamesa is an interdisciplinary academic journal published by
New York University. It is jointly funded and edited by the
John W. Draper Master's Program in Humanities and Social Thought and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. The journal, which debuted in the spring of 2003, is registered with the
Library of Congress. 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, among, within.
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.
The journal produces two issues per year that cycle though four themes: Democracy, Culture, Violence, and an Editor's Choice.
