Aims and scope

Founded in 1980 by the Association for the Study of Modern & Contemporary France (ASMCF), Modern & Contemporary France is an international peer-reviewed journal, offering a scholarly view of all aspects of France from 1789 to the present day.

It is a multi-disciplinary journal of French studies, drawing particularly, but not exclusively, on the work of scholars in history, literary, cultural and post-colonial studies, film and media studies, and the political and social sciences.

While the primary focus of the journal is France, the Editors also welcome submissions with a transnational or comparative dimension, as well as articles addressing aspects of France's relations with the French-speaking world and the wider world.

Modern & Contemporary France publishes:

research articles

an extensive range of book reviews

The journal also publishes themed special issues, for which submissions are invited from guest editors.
