About the Journal
Manuscript and Text Cultures (MTC) is the journal of the Centre for Manuscript and Text Cultures (CMTC) at The Queen's College in the University of Oxford. The journal is committed to publishing two issues per year, including one special issue dedicated to a specific research question. The journal welcomes articles that are at once specialised and interdisciplinary, exploring how knowledge and meaning are shaped and sustained by material conditions, past and present. It encourages submissions and creative ideas from authors willing to explore the benefits of digital presentation of research.
The journal aims to be a platform for international researchers to engage in close dialogue across their areas of expertise and inform each other about approaches and theories developed in their various subject areas. It seeks to generate discussions that cross subject boundaries and contribute to the theoretical understanding of material text cultures and their impact on knowledge production in global literate societies. With its multidisciplinary approach, crossing traditional academic divisions, MTC endeavours to explore the deep structures of human behaviour in material knowledge production.

This means, in particular, that anyone can freely read, copy, download, translate, and redistribute articles without asking prior permission from the publisher or the authors.
