Technoculture (https://tcjournal.org) is seeking critical articles, creative works and reviews covering a broad range of books, movies, theater, games and other objects that focus on the use of technology in society for Volume 8 (2018). This call is ongoing and open topic; as a journal, we are interested in a conception of technology and the humanist impulse that pushes beyond contemporary American culture and its fascination with computers; we seek work that deals with any type of technology or technologies in any number of historical periods from any relevant theoretical perspective, such as:

• Technology and the Arts

• Non-Western Uses of Technology

• The use of technology by youth, especially beyond or other than their use of social media

• The use of technology by older individuals, especially beyond or other than their use of social media

• The use of technology by marginalized individuals, especially beyond or other than their use of social media

• The access problem today

• Technology and its implications for both oppression and liberation

• Community uses of technology, especially to make or hinder change of various kinds

• Medical issues and technologies

• Intellectual property concerns, especially patents and trademarks, and in different historical moments

• Literary and cinematic descriptions of technology in any historical period such as Bellamy's Looking Backward or Blade Runner

• Use of technology from non-Western perspectives

• Class and its implications in the use (or lack of use) of technology

• Game studies (especially in the form of or delivered via playable online games)

• Music, theater, and other plastic arts and the use of technology by artists

• Sound and silence, and especially noise, the latter especially in positive senses and applications

• Alternative forms of print texts and especially of "books" and games

• Work and labor issues

• Leisure

We publish documentation of exhibits and installations, and encourage you to contact us about exhibits and installations that are otherwise epheremal.

All genres are published in Technoculture continuously; we will close off each year's volume on 31 December of that year, and rollover all submissions being processed at that time to the next year automatically. Heavy use of media is encouraged.

Articles should be between 5,000 and 10,000 words long.

Creative works may be in any genre; length and scope depends on the particular project.

Reviews must be timely: their subject must have a copyright, patent or licensing date of no more than two or three years old from the date of inquiry. Further, reviews of artifacts of popular artifacts such as games or movies must still have a critical distance and attention to detail, though they do not necessarily require outside sources other than a citation of the work being reviewed.

We are not interested in pedagogical reviews that deal with the use of technology in the classroom. PLEASE do not inquire about pedagogical reviews.

Please make ALL inquiries to our Submittable account at https://technoculture.submittable.com

Do not send inquiries or formal submission of reviews via email.
