Welcome to the submissions page for Technoculture.
We offer authors rolling publication with a Table of Contents published throughout the calendar year.
Technoculture (ISSN 1938-0526) is an independent annual
peer-reviewed journal. Publishing both critical and creative works that
explore the ways in which technology impacts this (or any) society, with
a broad definition of technology, Technoculture is a member of the Council of Editors of Learned Journals. We
are also a 501-c-3 not for profit corporation, as determined by the
IRS. Our authors might explore weaponry in the Renaissance, use of
social networks, television and other media, sports equipment,
technology in the theatre, or a multitude of other subjects. Technoculture offers
continuous publication and will post new articles, creative works, and
reviews on its front page upon publication, resulting in a new item in
our RSS Feed.
Please note that copyrights will remain your own but we encourage use of open source publication.
If you are thinking of submitting to Technoculture but not sure if your work fits in, let us know that. Submit an inquiry here and we'll be in touch to discuss your work. Inquiries are appropriate at any stage of the work, including merely an idea you wish to discuss with the staff.
The subject of your work must be technology but we use a wide lens when we think about technology at TC. Any adaptation of the natural by any means (whether human or otherwise), we count as technology. By this standard most things are affected by a technological process that would make it suitable for discussion and analysis in TC.
Technology is specifically not limited to computers and we don't accept any pedagogical approaches to technology. There are journals that do a good job of that already.
We consider articles using a wide variety of methodologies and disciplines, using the citation style of the author(s).
All genres of creative work are welcome with a special emphasis on various forms of digital media.
Reviews are welcome but definitely require an inquiry first--we don't want multiple people working on the same text.
We are interested in critical submissions that push the edge of the use of technology as a scholarly form; thus, we prefer to publish audio, video and other digitally delivered critical works.
Linear, print-like essays are also acceptable.
The subject of your work will be technology but in the broadest sense: any manipulation of the natural by a living organism in any time period, culture, or situation. Edgy is preferred but all methodologies are welcome.
Feel free to submit an inquiry, or drafts of completed works.
Please let us know if you have further questions.
Note: native digital submissions are preferred, but we are still considering linear essays at this time.
We are interested in creative submissions that push the edge of the use of technology as an artistic form; thus, we publish audio, video and other digitally delivered creative works.
The subject of your work may be technology but it need not be, so long as your submission uses technology in an interesting and thought-provoking way. Genre is open, but we tend towards the avant-garde rather than mainstream forms, though quality is the real determinant for us. Feel free to submit an inquiry, or drafts of completed works.
Please let us know if you have further questions.
Note: we will consider creative print materials such as non-digital poems or creative essays, but prefer digital submissions.
We are interested in reviews that introduce our readers to a given work that attempts to deal with technology and culture in a thoughtful but not necessarily academic way. The subject of your review should be a particular critical or creative work that is embedded in or a description of a technological artifact, product or process, but in the broadest sense: any manipulation of the natural by a living organism in any time period, culture, or situation. .
Reviewers might review new critical works published by university presses but could also review movies, dance, theatre, social media, games or other ways that we engage with technology on a daily basis. In no case, however, should the review take a breezy or casual tone. Timeliness is of the essence with reviews: the work being discussed should be no more than two or three years old.
Though we do not consider reviews at Technoculture as peer-reviewed, nonetheless, these are academic works and should have a professional tone though not one laded down by jargon.
We do not review educational products or software such as textbooks or LMS.
Webtexts and other interactive media are preferred but we also accept well written linear, print-like essays.
Feel free to submit an inquiry, or drafts of completed works to inquiry at tcjournal dot org or simply submit an inquiry or full review here. Reviews should be 1,000 to 3,000 words. Graduate students and other non tenure track folks are particularly encouraged to review for us (though also more than welcome to submit full length articles as well).
Please let us know if you have further questions.
Note: native digital submissions are preferred, but we are still considering linear essays at this time.
