Transmodernity: Journal of Peripheral Cultural Production of the Luso-Hispanic World

TRANSMODERNITY: Journal of Peripheral Cultural Production of the Luso-Hispanic World, a peer-reviewed and interdisciplinary journal of Luso-Hispanic and U.S. Latino literary and cultural studies, is published by eScholarship and is part of the University of California. The journal promotes the study of marginalized areas of Luso-Hispanic cultural production of any period and invites submissions of unpublished studies dealing with peripheral cultural production in the Luso-Hispanic world.

Transmodernity has historically operated with minimal direct funding. For ten of its 14 years, the journal received a modest annual contribution from the Office of the Dean of the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts at UC Merced. The journal received an additional three years of support through the UCHRI ‘Global Latinidades’ award. Due to recent budget cuts, the Dean’s office can no longer provide this baseline funding, and the UCHRI support concluded this year. Transmodernity continues to rely on monetary donations paid from grant funds, the volunteer labor of its editorial team, and the no-fee publishing services offered by the University of California’s eScholarship Publishing program. The University of California Libraries, including the California Digital Library, provide funding for the essential operational infrastructure of eScholarship Publishing.
