The Sondage Review
Essays on conscious legacy, documentary provenance, and the archival record in the synthetic age.
The Sondage Review is the essay publication of the Sondage Standard. It publishes invited and commissioned work on the questions that sit at the center of Sondage's governance argument — how a life is documented, who is permitted to document it, and what a record must carry to be recognized as a primary source in the synthetic era.
The Review is an editorially curated essay publication. Contributions are by invitation. Pieces are not peer-reviewed.
Essays appear as the field produces work worth publishing, at the editor's discretion. Contributors retain the right to republish their work in other venues, with attribution to The Sondage Review as the publication of first appearance.
Stephen Mucher, Ph.D., is the founding editor. He is a social historian, the founder of Sondage, and the author of the foundational essay The Commingled Archive (forthcoming). Previously Dean and Director of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UCLA, he holds a doctorate from the University of Michigan and writes from Berkeley.
The Sondage Review is published by Sondage Standard LLC. Essays reflect the views of their authors and do not constitute policy of Sondage Standard, its Guild, or its Registry.
