Journal

Modern & Contemporary France

Founded in 1980 by the Association for the Study of Modern & Contemporary France, Modern & Contemporary France is a global peer-reviewed journal offering a scholarly view of all aspects of France and the French-speaking world from 1789 to the present day. It is a multi-disciplinary journal, drawing particularly on the work of scholars in history, politics, literary, cultural and post-colonial studies, film and media studies, and the social sciences. The Editors welcome submissions with a transnational or comparative dimension, including articles addressing aspects of France’s relations with the wider world. The journal publishes original research articles, book reviews and occasionally expert commentaries on current affairs in France and the wider French-speaking world. As well as non-thematic (general) issues we publish one or two special issues in each year, usually accompanied by a podcast discussion. 

Studies in Modern and Contemporary France

Studies in Modern and Contemporary France was founded jointly by the ASMCF and Liverpool University Press (LUP). Submissions are encouraged which focus on French politics, history, society, media and culture. The series serves as an important focus for all those whose engagement with France extends beyond the literary, and can be seen as a long-form companion to the Association’s journal, Modern & Contemporary France.
