About Us

Scriblerus_logoScriblerus Press is a small press based in Portland, Oregon.  We publish the series Culture And…  Each Culture And… volume features an exclusive collection of thoughtful, provocative essays on the cultural significance of a particular pop culture phenomenon.  With the Culture And… series, we offer fans of popular culture fresh ways of appreciating how its hidden dimensions have a powerful social impact.  In so doing, we hope to introduce to a wider audience the exciting field of Culture Studies.

The working title for the inaugural volume, due out in 2014, is Our Whole Universe: Essays on Culture and The Big Bang Theory.

Going forward, we plan to publish 1 to 2 volumes annually. In the summer of 2013, we’ll post a call for submissions for series editors to propose new volumes.

Here are a few ideas we’re playing around with: Culture And…

Mad Men, the NFL, Facebook, Pixar, Food Network
