*CFP* "MEDIA COLLABORATIONS", FALL 2019 ISSUE, IN MEDIA RES JOURNAL

In Media Res is looking for curators that are examining media collaborations, particularly through the lens of famous or lesser known teams of media creators. Subjects could include partners in creation (The Wachowski sisters), performance (Laurel and Hardy), some combination thereof (Scorsese & DiCaprio), or other such avenues.  

Curators can approach these related movements through a variety of lenses and methods including, but not limited to:

• Critiques or defenses of collaborators as co-auteurs 
• Textual readings of collaborated works 
• Ghost writers, script doctors, and unseen collaborations 
• Comedy teams 
• Below- and above-the-line partnerships

The above list is not exhaustive, and we welcome proposals on any topic that intersects with media influenced by a collaboration of distinct artistic contributions.

Proposals may be brief, but do be sure to describe the topic and key question(s) to be explored. Please submit your proposal by October 25, 2019.

If interested, please contact In Media Res (inmediares@gsu.edu) with topic proposals or for more information about the theme. Be sure to include the name of the theme week you would like to be involved with in the subject line of the email.

Academics, journalists, critics, media professionals and fans are all welcome to submit proposals.

The actual piece will include either a 30-second to 3-minute clip, an image, or a slideshow that will be accompanied by a 300 to 350 word response to/contextualization of your clip, image, or slideshow. In addition to your piece, you will be expected to engage the other pieces presented that week to encourage discussion and further flesh out the individual topic in relation to the week’s theme.
