About the journal

Deadline for Submissions to the forthcoming issue: November 1

For its upcoming issue, Voyages: Journal of Contemporary Humanism welcomes essays, brief reflections, interviews (written and/or filmed), creative works (poetry, fiction, memoirs, visual arts) that engage with the recent authoritarian turn in global politics—from Turkey to the United States and from Brazil to the Philippines—which has caused great consternation in the humanities and social sciences.

Probing its underlying causes, scholars across disciplines are calling into question the intellectual foundations of modern democracy—foundations rooted in renaissance humanism and enlightenment political thought. To quote one observer, is the age of humanism over?

In other words, has the rational subject of renaissance humanism and enlightenment modernity given way to a new subject defined by unbridled market values and commodified human relations? Or rather, does the current proliferation of authoritarian and neoliberal state actors merely signal the dark underside of the philosophical discourse of modernity as others have previously suggested?

Voyages: Journal of Contemporary Humanism seeks to become a forum for debate on these questions, asking whether this pessimism is justified, where its sources and logic stem from, and most importantly, how humanism, past and present, can serve as a vehicle for resolving the problems facing the world today.
