'''''Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities''''' is a British-based international [[Academic journal|academic journal]] founded in 1993 that "represents the productive nexus of work in the disciplinary fields of literary criticism and theory, philosophy, and cultural studies."<ref>{{cite web|title=Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities|url=http://www.tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?show=aimsScope&journalCode=cang20}}</ref>  Since 1998, it has been published by [[Company:Routledge|Routledge]], an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group. In 1996, while it was still an independent publication, the journal was named "Best New Journal" in the annual awards of the [[Organization:Council of Editors of Learned Journals|Council of Editors of Learned Journals]].<ref>{{cite web|title=CELJ Winners |url=https://thecouncilofeditorsoflearnedjournals.wildapricot.org/winners}}</ref> The journal is abstracted and indexed in [[Scopus]],<ref name=Scopus>{{cite web |url=http://www.elsevier.com/online-tools/scopus/content-overview |title=Content overview |publisher=[[Company:Elsevier|Elsevier]] |work=Scopus |accessdate=2016-03-10}}</ref> Current Contents/Arts & Humanities, and Arts and Humanities Citation Index,<ref name=ISI>{{cite web |url=http://ip-science.thomsonreuters.com/mjl/ |title=Master Journal List |publisher=[[Company:Thomson Reuters|Thomson Reuters]] |work=Intellectual Property & Science |accessdate=2016-03-10}}</ref> amongst others.<ref>{{cite web|title=Journal Information, Angelaki|url=http://www.tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?journalCode=cang20}}</ref> In 2019 there were 65,307 downloads of ''Angelaki'' articles. This rose dramatically to 81,251 downloads in 2020.  

From 1993 until 2010 the journal published three issues a year. This was increased to four issues a year in 2011. In 2018, the journal's 25th-anniversary year, the frequency was further increased to six issues per volume, a volume normally comprising four special issues and two general (nontheme) issues.<ref>{{cite web|title=Journal Information, Angelaki|url=http://www.tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?journalCode=cang20}}</ref> 

"''Angelaki''" ({{IPAc-en|æ|n|ɡ|ɛ|l|ˈ|ɑː|k|iː}}) is a Greek word meaning "little angel." "''Angelos''" in Greek means "messenger, envoy, one that announces."<ref>[https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=angel "Angel"], ''Online Etymology Dictionary''.</ref> The logo of the journal is a [[Cherub|cherub]]; the cherubim being the order of angels associated with knowledge.<ref>[https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03646c.htm "Cherubim"], ''The Catholic Encyclopedia''.</ref>

''Angelaki'' arose out of a [[Biography:Gilles Deleuze|Gilles Deleuze]] reading and discussion group, conducted at Oxford University at the beginning of the 1990s. Members of the discussion group, who were at the time largely postgraduate students of the University, formed the original editorial board. A number of founding editors remain involved with the journal. For five years the journal was entirely independent, selling by mail and through bookshops in the UK, Europe and the USA. Independence proved unsustainable, and in 1998 ''Angelaki'' signed with its current publisher.<ref>[https://www.tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?show=aimsScope&journalCode=cang20 Aims and Scope], ''Angelaki''.</ref> For many years the journal sold through book shops as well as by subscription, but with the massive shift to online distribution and consumption of academic material since the 1990s shop distribution was eventually stopped in 2018. Although based in Oxford for approaching 30 years, ''Angelaki'' has no affiliation with any part of the [[Organization:University of Oxford|University of Oxford]].

== Associated book series ==

In 1996 editors of the journal established an associated book series, ''Angelaki Humanities'', with Manchester University Press (UK). 

One of the strengths of the journal has always been its book-length special issues. A single issue of ''Angelaki'' is currently in the region of 90,000 words (a substantial double issue by ordinary standards), with double issues rising to 180,000 words. Since 2010 special-issue collections have been, in the great majority of cases, republished as hardback books for library purchase, and in some cases also as paperbacks.<ref>[https://www.tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?show=aimsScope&journalCode=cang20 Aims and Scope], ''Angelaki''.</ref> In July of 2021 the series ''Angelaki: New Work in the Theoretical Humanities'' was established by [[Company:Routledge|Routledge]] for these books.
