The International Journal for History, Culture and Modernity (HCM) is a new, peer reviewed journal that offers a forum for interdisciplinary scholarship in the domain of the humanities. The aim of the journal is to stimulate research and a lively academic exchange on the cultural history of global modernity. The journal welcomes new historical approaches, especially those contributing to present-day debates and facilitating a global perspective.
HCM intends to fill a niche within historical scholarship: now that postmodernism seems to be in decline, ‘modernity’ has resurfaced as a highly topical and relevant theme, deserving to be studied from a global, cultural, and interdisciplinary perspective. There are very few English-language journals in the field of cultural history and none of them addresses the global and/or transdisciplinary aspects of ‘modernity’. 
HCM’s mission statement dovetails with the philosophy of open access: a critical historical perspective implies unlimited access, by scholars from anywhere in the world, to the results of scholarly research via the internet.

The International Journal for History, Culture and Modernity (HCM) considers scholarly contributions that relate topics in cultural history to the wider context of modernity. The journal welcomes new and critical historical approaches, especially those contributing to present-day debates and facilitating a global perspective.
