Autopsia is an online, international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed
journal that provides a diverse forum for scholars and professionals
to interrogate and challenge the intellectual and aesthetic dimensions
of mass culture. Autopsia invites critical and/or theoretical
examinations that further our understanding of the serial consumption
and the circulation of ideas, images and objects that flow from
numerous centers, margins and multiplicities of production from the
Industrial Revolution to the present. The journal welcomes submissions
for publication that perform autopsies on a broad range of media:
film, literature, art, and philosophy with a particular emphasis on
how these cultural productions function as commodities.

Call for Submissions for the inaugural issue of Autopsia:
