Shima Series II: Shimaqua (Current)
Shimaqua is an open-access (no fee) peer-reviewed journal of research and debate addressing terrestrial and aquatic interfaces and inter-relations, and the manner in which human societies and other actants animate these.
Shimaqua furthers lines of analysis and discussion in advanced in Shima Series I (2006–2026) and aims to expand and develop concepts such as the aquapelago (an assemblage of terrestrial and aquatic elements constituted by human activities and interventions); submergence, related to changing sea-levels and flood events; waterscapes in inland areas; and the various social experiences and cultural imaginaries created by such phenomena.
