The journal aims to encourage the practice of commentary as a creative form of intellectual work and to provide a forum for dialogue and reflection on the past, present, and future of this ancient genre of writing. By aligning itself, not with any particular discipline, but with a particular mode of production, Glossator gives expression to the fact that praxis founds theory. Glossator welcomes work from all disciplines, but especially from fields with strong affiliations with the commentary genre: philosophy, theology, literary theory and criticism, textual and manuscript studies, hermeneutics, exegesis.

Inscription: the Journal of Material Text – Theory, Practice, History

Aims and Scope

Inscription is an innovative new journal which addresses the theme of the material text from a range of perspectives, bringing together the critical, historical, theoretical and creative. Inscription will be at home equally in the first century as the twenty-first and will feature work by practitioners – book artists, printmakers and writers – alongside academic discussion. Its focus is not just on the meanings and uses of the codex book, but also the nature of writing surfaces, the process of mark marking and printing. The journal’s theoretically aware, trans-historical and cross-disciplinary remit will break with the conventions of academic ghettoization, creating connections between areas that have much to say to one another –bibliography, the artist’s book, and media theory, for instance – enabling more wide-ranging conversation and unexpected juxtapositions. It promises not merely to add to the field but to set new agendas for the next phase of the development of the study of material texts.

Publisher & Frequency

Information as Material; annual.

Submissions

Inscription is an annual academic journal with a Call for Submissions at the start of each year.

Aims and Scope

From its origins in 1983 as the collected papers of a small but innovative group of specialists in the area of textual editing (TEXT: An Interdisciplinary Annual of Textual Studies), the Society for Textual Scholarship's journal has led the way in opening the Anglo-American discussion in the emerging field of textual studies. Textual Cultures continues the tradition of TEXT but with an ever more inclusive and a multi-voiced approach not just to issues of textual editing and redefinitions of textuality, but to the notion of the diverse textual cultures in which these definitions and our approaches develop and evolve. The endeavor of Textual Cultures to investigate the meaning and implications of textuality is designed to widen our understanding of how new developments in fields like codicology, material philology, art history, musicology and cultural studies are redefining and integrating our notions of what constitutes a text in diverse cultural contexts.

Aims and Scope

Information Design Journal (IDJ) is a peer-reviewed international journal that bridges the gap between research and practice in information design. IDJ is a platform for discussing and improving the design, usability, and overall effectiveness of ‘content put into form’ — of verbal and visual messages shaped to meet the needs of particular audiences. IDJ offers a forum for sharing ideas about the verbal, visual, and typographic design of print and online documents, multimedia presentations, illustrations, signage, interfaces, maps, quantitative displays, websites, and new media. IDJ brings together ways of thinking about creating effective communications for use in contexts such as workplaces, hospitals, airports, banks, schools, or government agencies. On the one hand, IDJ explores the design of information, with a focus on writing, the visual design, structure, format, and style of communications. On the other hand, IDJ seeks to better understand the ways that people understand, interpret, and use communications, with a focus on audiences, cultural differences, readers’ expectations, and differences between populations such as teenagers, elderly or the blind. IDJ publishes research papers, case studies, critiques of information design and related theory, reviews of current literature, research-in-progress, interviews with thought leaders, discussions of practical problems, book reviews, and conference information. Contributions should be relevant to a multi-disciplinary audience from fields such as: communication design, writing, typography, discourse studies, applied linguistics, rhetoric, usability research, instructional design and graphic design. Contributions should be based on appropriate evidence and make clear their implications for practice.

The Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies is a home for new interdisciplinary scholarship on the early modern world that roots its inquiries in current theoretical and political debates. JEMCS understands the "early modern" in its broadest possible scope, and welcomes studies on political theology, philosophy, economy (labor, slavery, class), aesthetic currents, and the intellectual and cultural world of the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries. Since its founding in 2000, JEMCS has served as a venue for theoretical approaches that have, in recent decades, reshaped early modern scholarship: queer and feminist theory, postcolonial theory, histories of race and empire, transnational studies, histories of globalization, and cultural materialism. JEMCS reflects these stimulating possibilities by providing a common venue for scholars in such diverse fields as anthropology, art history, economics, history, literary criticism, political science, and sociology. JEMCS challenges the boundaries that separate traditional scholarly disciplines while bringing those disciplines into dialogue with each other.

Aims and Scope

The Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies publishes work across the disciplines on topics ranging from late antiquity to the seventeenth century, work that is both historically grounded and informed by the broad intellectual shifts have occurred in the academy. Theoretical inquiries and a wide range of political initiatives have transformed the contexts in which we work. These transformations have profound consequences for our attempts to understand past cultures even as they encourage our critical reflections on the present and its relations to the pasts that we study. We aim to foster the rigorous investigation of past cultural forms and their historiographical representations, representations whose political dimensions will be of special interest. The particular pasts on which we focus are those of medieval and early modern Europe and Western Asia. They are the pasts of material objects as well as texts; of women as well as men; of merchants, workers, and audiences as well as patrons; of Jews and Muslims as well as Christians.

Aims and Scope

The Journal of the Northern Renaissance (JNR) is a peer-reviewed, open-access online journal dedicated to the study of early modern Northern European cultural production. While focussing upon the deployment of the written word, JNR is alert to the full variety of early modern cultural practice, publishing articles that relate to early modern visual culture, philosophy, theology, politics and the scientific technologies of the Northern Renaissance. We place a special emphasis upon questioning the Southern European derivation of our inherited paradigms and upon exploring alternative conceptualisations, geographies and periodisations of the Renaissance. While our principal focus is on the written word, we are interested in the full variety of cultural practices, including the visual arts, costume and other forms of material culture, philosophy, theology and the art of politics. Similarly, although most of the work we publish deals with Northern Europe in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, we are especially interested in attempts to challenge existing periodizations of the Renaissance in the North, and to establish continuities with earlier and later epochs.

Aims and Scope

Named after the Dutch word for an archival file (Lias; French: Liasse), Lias has since its foundation in 1974 been a prime venue for publishing articles relating to the cultural and intellectual history of early modern Europe. We welcome original contributions on the history of knowledge and learning in the broadest sense: the artes liberales, the studia humanitatis, philosophy, theology, law, medicine, and the (new) sciences, as well as the Republic of Letters and the educational institutions, libraries, academies, societies, and learned networks vital to the creation and transmission of knowledge. Our chronological range extends from the nascent humanism of the 14th century to the late Enlightenment in the 19th century. While focused primarily on the history of knowledge and learning, we are strongly interested in articles that explore these subjects in relation to early modern political, social, religious, or art history.

Publisher & Frequency

Submissions

Contributions adhering to the style sheet should be submitted by email to the editorial board of Lias: lias.management@yahoo.com. Authors are requested to make their contribution anonymous. After confirmation of receipt, authors will receive two reports within six weeks. Although many articles in Lias are standalone analyses of early modern sources, we are unique in encouraging our authors to include transcriptions, editions, and commentaries of original unpublished sources of a relatively small size (up to 60 pages), such as letters, poems, small treatises, etc. in their articles. We welcome editions of texts in a wide variety of original languages, such as Latin, Greek, French, English, Dutch, German, Hebrew, and Arabic. A modern translation of the edited sources, regardless of their original language, is a bonus, but not absolutely required. However, we do ask for a synopsis of each text. Submissions are preferably written in English, but we are also open to contributions in French, especially concerning French sources.

Aims and Scope

Marvell Studies publishes original essays, shorter articles, notes, and reviews with the purpose of advancing scholarship on Andrew Marvell and his milieu.

In choosing open access, we honour the collaborative nature of Marvell studies and of the Marvell Society, which brings together scholars from around the globe – from the US and the UK, Australia, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Japan – and facilitates intellectual exchange with increasing reach.

Publisher & Frequency

Submissions

Research articles (c.5,000 to 8,000 words) and shorter articles (no more than c.3,000 words) with an abstract (no more than 250 words) should be submitted online. Essays should use American spelling and conform to the Chicago Manual of Style. We welcome all approaches, those well established and those more experimental, historicist and non-historicist. Above all, we seek to publish exemplary work, posing new questions or offering new answers to old ones. We also welcome shorter articles and notes, especially those announcing archival findings of interest to readers of the journal, as Marvell Studies seeks to establish itself at the forefront of discovery and knowledge exchange. Proposals for special issues will also be considered.

Aims and Scope

postmedieval: a journal of medieval cultural studies is a cross-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal in medieval studies that aims to bring the medieval and modern into productive critical relation. The journal will work to develop a present-minded medieval studies in which contemporary events, issues, ideas, problems, objects, and texts serve as triggers for critical investigations of the Middle Ages. Further, we are concerned to illuminate the deep historical structures–mental, linguistic, social, cultural, aesthetic, religious, political, sexual, and the like–that underlie contemporary thought and life, and therefore, we are also interested in attending to the question of the relation of the medieval to the modern (and vice versa) in different times and places. We want to also demonstrate the important value of medieval studies and the longest possible historical perspectives to the ongoing development of contemporary critical and cultural theories that remain under-historicized. Finally, we will advocate for and support the continuing development, from any and all disciplinary directions, of historicist, materialist, comparatist, and theoretical approaches to the subjects of the Middle Ages.

Clio: A Journal of Literature, History, and the Philosophy of History

Editors

Jeffrey J Malanson, Rachel E. Hile, Cathleen M. Carosella

Aims and Scope

Clio: A Journal of Literature, History, and the Philosophy of History, an international interdisciplinary journal, publishes scholarly essays that explore the connections between history, literature, and the arts. Humans understand themselves and their cultures, even create themselves and their cultures, through stories. Sometimes we call those stories “history”, and sometimes we call them “literature”. Clio is interested in the interconnectedness of these two disciplines, as well as the philosophical work that supports these kinds of inquiries. We publish researched essays at the intersections of these disciplines — that is, not factual expositions of historical events or uncontextualized “readings” of literary texts, but articles that are interdisciplinary in argument and method. Essays should be accessible to an interdisciplinary scholarly audience.

Hillis Miller, Donald Morton, Cary Nelson, Peter Nicholls, Stephen Regan, Paul Smith, C. Christopher Soufas, Jr., Teresa S. Soufas, Hortense J. Spillers, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak

Aims and Scope

College Literature: A Journal of Critical Literary Studies is dedicated to publishing original and innovative scholarly research across the various periods, intellectual fields, and geographical locations that comprise the changing discipline of Anglophone and comparative literary studies. The journal is committed to the renewal of critique as a historically determinate, self-reflexive, and socially substantive practice, which in resisting 'empathy with the victor' (Benjamin) remains perpetually dissatisfied with each new consensus. We are convinced that literature remains a significant locus for such a renewal, since in seeking to establish a space 'outside' normative social values, literary (and other) texts continually stage and restage the discursive, disciplinary, and institutional limits that enable such norms, and so work to reveal critique’s complicity with them. In interrogating critical practice, the journal aims to investigate its involvement in broader parameters of public debate organized by such enduring (though mutating) political demarcations as that between private and public, the national and the global, or indeed between the cultural and the political itself.

The journal was designed to advance the study of literature and the other arts, and to function as a medium for the scholarly explication and evaluation of artists and their works. While periodically shifting its focus in response to developments within the fields of literary and cultural studies, Criticism has, throughout its history, maintained its overall commitment to examine the arts and literatures from all periods and nations, and from a variety of scholarly disciplines and critical perspectives. In its current incarnation, Criticism aims to present contemporary thought at its most vital and to serve as a forum for conversations about the nature of scholarly criticism itself. The journal's editors welcome methodologically driven, argument-based scholarship of all kinds, whether advancing fresh areas of study and critical inquiry, engaging with newly emergent fields and critical/theoretical approaches to the arts and the humanities, or practicing traditional modes of scholarship and thinking in a reflective manner.

E-rea

Editors

Marie Odile Hedon, Grégoire Lacaze

Aims and Scope

Founded in 2003, E-rea Revue électronique d’études sur le monde anglophone publishes articles devoted to Anglophone studies. E-rea is based in the LERMA, the Laboratory for Study and Research into the “Anglophone World”, which is part of Aix-Marseille University. The journal is one reflection of the work and activity of Lerma members, which is why some issues are the direct result of Lerma-organised symposia. However E-rea remains an independent entity and, as such, welcomes contributions from the community of Anglo-American and linguistic studies at large, both in France and elsewhere in the world. Hence a fair proportion of our issues presents work assembled by academics affiliated to other centers. Alongside its two central themes, each issue includes a restricted number of miscellaneous articles, interviews, and book reviews.

Aims and Scope

Mosaic is a quarterly scholarly journal. It was founded at the University of Manitoba in 1967, the year of Canada's centennial, taking its name and its cosmopolitan format from the country's multicultural mosaic. The journal was founded to highlight the University's commitment to wide-ranging humanistic scholarship and to provide such scholarship with an international forum. In 1980, the original subtitle, A Journal for the Comparative Study of Literature and Ideas, was changed to the current one, marking the importance of multi- and inter-disciplinarity to the Mosaic mandate. At the same time, the Editorial Board was changed to include scholars from a diversity of disciplines and the practice of soliciting essays was dropped in favor of an open submission-peer review process. In 1997, to mark its 30th anniversary, Mosaic began publishing an introduction by the Editor. In recent years, the journal has also begun to publish Editor interviews with renowned scholars and writers. Mosaic is currently one of the world's leading journals of interdisciplinary literary-critical research. It reaches out to subscribers, readers, contributors, and reviewers in the national and international community, breaking new scholarly ground, supporting and promoting collegiality and community, and providing unique educational opportunities and resources.

Aims and Scope

The Journal of Cultural Analytics is an open-access journal dedicated to the computational study of culture. Its aim is to promote high quality scholarship that applies computational and quantitative methods to the study of cultural objects (sound, image, text), cultural processes (reading, listening, searching, sorting, hierarchizing) and cultural agents (artists, editors, producers, composers). Articles are expected to combine theoretical sophistication, computational expertise, and grounding in a particular field towards the crafting of thought-provoking arguments about how culture works at significantly larger scales than traditional research. In combining the very best of the humanities and the social and computational sciences, The Journal of Cultural Analytics aims to challenge disciplinary boundaries and serve as the foundational publishing venue of a major new intellectual movement. The journal currently features three sections: Articles profile peer-reviewed scholarship; Data Sets offer lengthy discussions of curatorial choices associated with new data sets relevant to cultural study; and Debates offer shorter more timely interventions into key discussions surrounding the computational analysis of culture.

The thematic range of the journal includes different language families and a wide variety of schools. Therefore, especially welcome are the contributions on non-European and non-Indo-European traditions. As regards the methods, the only restriction is that they have to meet the requirements of scholarly research, that is, the results should be verifiable. The studies of single poems are not favoured, although these are not completely excluded, when a paper is devoted to an important question or a significant text.

Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Teaching (SMART) is a biannual journal of essays designed to assist teachers in communicating an understanding of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Since we believe that excellent research and inspired teaching are dual aspects of a revived medieval/Renaissance curriculum, SMART essays are scholarly and pedagogical, informative and practical.

Each ELN issue advances topics of current scholarly concern, providing theoretical speculation as well as interdisciplinary recalibrations through practical usage.

ELN is a wide-ranging journal that combines theoretical rigor with innovative interdisciplinary collaboration.

Editorial Board

Pascale Aebischer, Alice Dailey, Matt Davies, Andrew Hartley, Peter Kanelos, Farah Karim-Cooper, Matt Kozusko, Rebecca Lemon, Zachary Lesser, Genevieve Love, Kirk Melnikoff, Richard Preiss, Paul Prescott, Melissa Sanchez, Peter Smith, Tiffany Stern, Andrea Stevens, Holger Syme, Henry Turner, Jacqueline Vanhoutte, Brian Walsh, Christopher Warley, William West

Aims and Scope

The Hare is an online, peer-reviewed journal, publishing untimely reviews of books, articles, and performances in early modern theater. This journal provides a venue for the contention and revaluation of old scholarly work in contemporary scholarly debate. We invite you to interpret "old" creatively, though traditional reviews of recent publications will not be considered. We welcome untimely reviews of books and articles that our field has overlooked or overemphasized to its detriment. We also welcome untimely performance reviews in early modern theater, emphasizing fascinating, bizarre, passed-over performances that have been excluded from traditional performance history. The Hare will be the home for brief, provocative pieces on these lost, invisible productions. Finally, we also solicit future-looking pieces, from theater artists and scholars for productions they would like to see produced--arguing for what they see as the Cymbeline that Philadelphia most needs today, or The Shoemaker's Holiday in Beijing, for example.
