There is widespread agreement among scholars that postmodernism has been eclipsed as a guiding sensibility in the West in the late 20th–early 21st centuries. Characterizations of the currently dominant cultural logic have been explored in recent decades, none more robustly than metamodernism.

This series aims to advance a cohesive theoretical-historical framework for the study of the present and to identify, categorize, and contextualize its manifold forms and manifestations. As such, we invite analyses of both metamodern phenomena and the metamodern approach across disciplines, cultural contexts, and geographies.

We welcome contributors from scholars in any number of disciplines, including (but not limited to) cultural studies, literary studies, film and media studies, history (inclusive of art and architecture), and religion.

Relevant projects may build from or expand upon existing theoretical bases for the study of metamodernism - including those that query the limits of its theoretical reach or efficacy - as well as metamodern genres, sensibilities and tropes. These topics may include (but are not limited to) the return to historicity, the aesthetics of oscillation, the affective turn, and novel politics of belief, community, network, and identity.

Successful proposals will be accessible to a multidisciplinary audience and will forward our understanding of metamodernism’s relevance as a theoretical approach.
