[1]Technoculture: An Online Journal of Technology in Society (ISSN: 1938-0526) is an independent 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.
The journal accepts essays that cover a wide range of disciplines; it also publishes creative work that either utiliizes technology or examines it. Technoculture publishes essays from a number of methodological approaches. The editorial board think their desire to see both critical and creative work available to both scholars and to the general public pretty unique. Critical essays can look at any historical period, location or technology. Technoculture does not publish essays on pedagogy. It prefers works that make a heavy use of media.
The journal is edited by Keith Dorwick. The journal offers continuous publication to readers and authors: as soon as an article is ready for publication, it will be put online.
[edit] Journal History
Kevin Moberly, the co-founder of Technoculture and Keith Dorwick co-edited a special issue of Interdisciplinary Humanities on Technoculture in 2007; the response, especially for a special issue of a journal, was huge (over 40 inquiries). When they finished the special issue, they were impressed by the amount of interest in the area, and they decided they needed to found a journal that would look at the intersections of technology and its impact on culture.
The first issue of Technoculture was released in 2009.
