Curare

About the journal

Curare. Journal of Medical Anthropology

The AGEM has been pub­lish­ing the jour­nal Curare since 1978. It is bilin­gual (Ger­man & Eng­lish) and the arti­cles are peer-reviewed. Until 2007 it had the sub­ti­tle Jour­nal of Med­ical Anthro­pol­o­gy and Tran­scul­tur­al Psy­chi­a­try. Since 2008 the sub­ti­tle of Curare has been Jour­nal of Med­ical Anthro­pol­o­gy. There are cur­rent­ly 4 issues per year.

We are pleased to announce that the dig­i­tal­iza­tion of all vol­umes of Curare, which have so far been avail­able in print only, has been fund­ed by the Ger­man Research Foun­da­tion (DFG). A cor­re­spond­ing appli­ca­tion was approved in sum­mer 2020, so that all pre­vi­ous issues will be freely acces­si­ble online via the Hum­boldt Uni­ver­si­ty of Berlin in the near future.

To ensure that all future issues will also be acces­si­ble online, we have in addi­tion sub­mit­ted a fur­ther appli­ca­tion to con­vert Curare into an Open Access Jour­nal. We will report on the progress here.
