Modernism/modernity

Concentrating on the period extending roughly from 1860 to the present, Modernism/modernity focuses on the methodological, archival, and theoretical exigencies particular to modernist studies. It encourages an interdisciplinary approach linking music, architecture, the visual arts, literature, and social and intellectual history. The journal's broad scope fosters dialogue between social scientists and humanists about the history of modernism and its relations to modernization. Each issue features a section of thematic essays as well as book reviews and a list of books received. Modernism/modernity is the official journal of the Modernist Studies Association; members of the MSA automatically receive four free issues of Modernism/modernity (published in January, April, September, and November) and have free access to the journal online through Project Muse. In 2003, Modernism/modernity received the Phoenix Award for Significant Editorial Achievement from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals. Modernism/modernity has three editors, one appointed to five-year terms by the MSA and two appointed by Johns Hopkins University Press. Each September issue is edited by the MSA editor and includes a selection of peer-reviewed articles from the proceedings of the prior year's annual MSA conference. Occasionally, one of the other three regular annual issues of the journal is a guest-edited special issue.
