Journal of Mundane Behavior
http://www.mundanebehavior.org/

"The Journal of Mundane Behavior, hosted by the Department of Sociology and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at California State University, Fullerton, is a peer-reviewed journal that is devoted to the study of the "unmarked" -- those aspects of our everyday lives that typically go unnoticed by us, both as individuals and as academics. We approach these topics with both the sense of whimsy about the extraordinary efforts we put into maintaining such "mundane" aspects of our lives, and with the seriousness of intellectual integrity in our analysis of these matters."

"replika is a Hungarian social science quarterly devoted to encourage intellectual debate and to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue between the different social sciences and humanities. Replika publishes essays and research analyses written by leading Hungarian social scientists as well as translations of influential articles that have significantly shaped the recent development of international social science discourses. Due to its thematic section format, each of which contains four or five papers focussing on a particular theoretical problem, social issue, cultural area, or intellectual career, Replika provides indispensable reading and reference material for a variety of social science courses at Hungarian universities. Replika also publishes English language special issues every year in order to foster scholarly conversation between the different poles of Europe. The major purpose of these English language publications is to give voice to social scientists and their research topics that have been treated marginal or peripheral in mainstream European and American academic discourses.
