Its purpose is to provide a forum for interdisciplinary conversations about the role of media and technology in contemporary cultural practices. We are particularly interested in those topics that normally escape scrutiny, or are ignored or excluded for whatever reason. The journal is distinguished by its focus on poetics as a scholarly practice, with particular emphasis on the unruly ways that pe
ople deploy media and technology behind, beneath, and despite their instrumental functions. Against the grain of determinism, we hope to attract work that bears witness to media as complex assemblages of institutions, subjects, bodies, objects, and discourses. Amodern will publish two issues annually with the goal of eventually becoming a quarterly. Issues of the journal will be organized around specific topics and themes. Editors
