SMC encourages comparative approaches without regional, linguistic, temporal, or other limitations on the objects studied. It contributes to a larger historical and systematic survey of the role of written artefacts in ancient and modern cultures and in so doing, provides a new foundation for ongoing discussions in cultural studies.
SMC volumes are published Open Access under the Creative Commons license CC BY-NC-ND. All proposals for the series will go through a peer review process. Further information on the series can be found here:
