Submission Guidelines

Criticism provides a forum for current scholarship on literature, media, music and visual culture. A place for rigorous theoretical and critical debate as well as formal and methodological self-reflexivity and experimentation, Criticism aims to present contemporary thought at its most vital.

Submissions should follow Chicago Manual of Style for documentation: full bibliographic information at first mention; abbreviated mention after that, no works cited list. Notes should appear at the end of the essay, in the same font size as the text, and double-spaced. There are no set length limits or requirements for articles. Criticism can reproduce graphics in black-and-white. Authors are responsible for providing glossy prints, securing permission to reproduce illustrations, and paying any required fees.

Please submit articles as attachments to emails (preferably .doc files) directed to CRITICISM. Include a brief abstract. Electronic submission is preferred, but articles may also be submitted by post; send two hard copies as well as an electronic file to:
