The Journ­al for Oc­cu­pied Stud­ies is an in­de­pend­ent con­tri­bu­tion to the glob­al Oc­cupy move­ment, one which springs from the New School for So­cial Re­search in New York City but which fills its pages not only with stu­dent and fac­ulty per­spect­ives on Oc­cupy Wall Street but with con­tri­bu­tions from di­verse in­di­vidu­als out­side that uni­versity and in­deed out­side the USA. The JOS op­er­ates for the rad­ic­al­isa­tion of this struggle, at the place between past and fu­ture, the­ory and prax­is. We hope the ana­lyses and testi­mon­ies it of­fers val­or­ize, pro­long, and in­tensi­fy this fight, which did not be­gin with the ‘Amer­ic­an Fall’, and will not end with the de­cline of the call to ‘Oc­cupy!’ spe­cific­ally. The ed­it­ors of JOS in­tend the term ‘oc­cu­pied stud­ies’ to piggy­back upon the mo­ment con­jured by the word, or hash-tag, #oc­cupy, whilst sim­ul­tan­eously rais­ing the ques­tion of our con­tinu­ing situ­ation as oc­cu­pied bod­ies, yet to wrest con­trol of pub­lic space from the guard­i­ans of cap­it­al. Yes, doc­u­ment­ing the thought/ac­tion of the ‘oc­cu­pied’, it is hoped, fo­ments the oc­cu­pa­tion(s) still to come
