| Description | - KOKO is the next generation online journal for the Shared Campus. It is an independent academic publication dedicated to the investigation of theories and practices of alternative knowledge systems that explore the relations between media and expression, time and space.
To this aim, KOKO activates the potentials of visual, audio and text-based formats – traditional and non-traditional – as next generation means for research production.
KOKO encourages experimental speculative research beyond the limitations of disciplinary perspectives or conventional formats to facilitate ideas, positions, and contributions into diverse dimensions of knowledge.
KOKO seeks to publish new research that promotes a culture of sharing, open distribution, and the on-going exchange of ideas, without losing sight of rigorous academic practice. It engages in the creation of a body of critical and reflexive contributions – in any form and/or medium – with a breadth and depth of thought that will produce new knowledge, creative methodologies, original applications, and substantiated understanding. KOKO not only challenges and re-considers traditional research, and publication formats, but aims at establishing alternative new standards, conventions, and protocols in academic publishing.
The online format of KOKO allows to digress from the common traditional journal structure/operation, e.g. the sequential publication in volumes and issues, the acceptance of papers by set deadlines only, the setting of temporary themes for specific volume/issues only etc. Instead, right from the start, KOKO launches with five themed “spaces” that are all concurrently open for submissions, and will continuously update upon positive review of newly received contributions.
