Consequently, we invite scholars, researchers and creators to send pieces centered on the production, consumption, circulation and cultural exchange within these geographical areas.
In issue 3 we maintain an open CFP, with a special interest, although not exclusive, in Spanish and Latin American cultural production. Consequently, we especially invite scholars, researchers and creators to send pieces centered on the production, consumption, circulation and cultural exchange within these geographical areas.

CFP: CENSORSHIP AND MEDIA
(guest editor, Manuel Palacio)
In the last few years, there has been a generalized re-definition of the parameters that define freedom of speech in relation to previous decades. Increasingly, certain legislative, judicial and institutional decisions are reminiscent of forms of censorship that existed in the past. This tendency is clearly visible in countries with well-established democracies such as France or the United Kingdom but it is even more discernible in territories from Eastern Europe, Asia and America with less consolidated egalitarian regimes. In Tecmerin: Journal of Audiovisual Media, we are interested in reflecting upon the lessening of freedom of speech within audiovisual media and the Internet. We are proposing the following areas of analysis, although we also invite contributors to approach other, related, issues:
- Film censorship and controversies in the public sphere.
- Censorship and damage. The protection of specific audience groups.
- Censorship and gender.
- The representation of the censor in cinema and television.
- Dubbing and censorship.
- Double or multiple versions of films or television series.
- Censorship in film history.
- Censorship in television history.
Instructions for authors
