Twentieth-Century Studies Journal

From 2023, Estudos do Século XX | Twentieth-Century Studies – the journal of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies (CEIS20) of the University of Coimbra – will enter a new phase. The journal invites article submissions on the memory, theory and representation of the twentieth century, until 31 March 2023. You can find submission guidelines here.

Estudos do Século XX | Twentieth-Century Studies (TCS) is an annual peer-reviewed international journal focusing on the processes of memory, theory and representation of the twentieth-century. The journal aims to open a field of studies on the past century, here defined not so much as a historical period, but rather a site of memory and patrimony, an object of literary and artistic representation, and a political and theoretical concept.

From this perspective, the journal aims to become a forum of discussion on the ways the present, in the twenty-first century, situates and defines itself in relation to the recent past, namely in ongoing debates on the periodization of contemporary history and through the emergence of new sources, archives and historical mediations.

TCS welcomes articles with a strong interdisciplinary edge, from a broad range of approaches that include (but are not restricted to) history and memory, art history, cultural studies, literature, philosophy, media studies, pedagogy, digital humanities, economy, social sciences, climate and the environment, sciences and technology, urban studies and mobilities.
