Mediascape, UCLA’s graduate journal for Cinema and Media Studies, seeks submissions for the
Meta-Section of its upcoming issue on digital and new media.
As Stéfan
Tanaka (2009) cautions, we are long past “the utopian fantasies and
anti-utopian rants of the digital revolution.” Our upcoming publication aims to
investigate the categories of digital and new media shorn of the initial
excitement that marked their emergence.
The Meta-Section, specifically, is looking for submissions of critical
essays, digital art (recycled, collaged, or originally created), interviews,
and other creative forms that feature reflexive inquiries into digital and new
media. Academics, critics, artists, and others working within and around the
humanities—regardless of identity or profession—are invited to apply. It is our
strong hope that we receive proposals for collaborations between artists and
scholars aiming to work together to open up the critical terrain of the
digital. Whether working separately or together, our collaborators will help us
raise new issues and research directions for a rising generation of scholars.
Resulting work should be between 1000 and 5000 words; however, we are willing
to adjust this guideline for interested authors and artists.
All
questions re: Meta submissions, including application, should be directed to
Michael Reinhard at Mediascape.Meta@gmail.com with the subject header “Meta
Submission." To receive consideration, please submit a brief proposal or
abstract (~300 words) about the nature and scope of your project, as well as a
brief bibliography (or filmography) that informs it (3-5 works). Special
consideration will be given to submissions of complete drafts. Please send
requisite materials before August 8, 2018.
We thank
you in advance for kindly considering placement of your work with Mediascape.
