Teknokultura, on-line journal of the University of Puerto Rico’s Social Sciences Faculty (Río Piedras Campus), announces its opening for contributions to evaluate articles and electronic art relevant to the integration of technology to daily lives and labor. Book and website reviews, literary work, and cartoons asociated to these themes will also be evaluated.

Teknokultura provides a forum of expression on subjects related to technology and culture from a critical and transdisciplinary perspective. Through its vast array of sections, the journal engages in subjects related to lifestyles and cultural spaces that have emerged from the integration of technology to our social lives in contemporary society.

This call for contributions will be open from April 2004 until April 2005. During this time, we will receive contributions that will be published in Vol 4 of the journal which will be available on-line on August 2004-2005. Contributions received after April 2005 will be considered for the next volume (Vol 5, 2005-2006).
Contributions in the form of articles should follow these guidelines: approximately 15 to 20 pages in length with double spaced paragraphs, and 12 pts. font submitted in a PC platform (preferably in Microsoft Word, RTF or Open Office), and use APA publication style. We encourage the integration of audiovisual material as part of the articles. The submitted articles should have not been published elsewhere in an electronic format and the author/s are responsible for obtaining the appropriate permits to use images, videos or music included in their contribution and that are protected by copyrights. Authors will retain the copyrights of their contributions published in Teknokultura.

Teknokultura keeps the right to design the incorporation of the contribution according the texts and other works published in our journal. Teknokultura is a peer review journal and will not return to its author any accepted or rejected contribution. Teknokultura reserves the right to publish accepted works in our journal as well as in any other means – printing, CD or any other digital mean- for promotional purposes. Once the contribution is accepted for publishing, Teknokultura has the right to decide the specific assemblage and design in which the work is going to be incorporated in our journal. The proponent or author of the work will not receive any revenue for his or her work but Teknokultura will acknowledge his or her rights as an author in the electronic journal, CD Rom or any other media.

Contributions could be submitted in Spanish, English and Portuguese.
