[csaa-forum] Call for papers: deadline extended

[Tilley, Elspeth]

CALL FOR PAPERS: visual and audio-visual communication 

Submission deadline extended until July 28, 2006. 

Topic parameters: 

Research in visual and audio-visual communication is one of the youngest
within the social sciences.  There are no established criteria to
conduct this type of research, however, the fields of psychology,
education, art history, ethnography, cultural studies, and multimedia
studies can provide some guiding principles toward building empirical
knowledge.  

Articles for this special issue of Prism can address a very wide range
of
perspectives on audio-visual and visual communication.  Articles might:
offer case studies of audio-visual teaching tools and relate their
effectiveness or otherwise to established learning theories; review
innovative tools to collect, analyse, or report audio-visual and visual
information during the research process; offer case studies of
innovative use of visual or audio-visual communication techniques 
in business or the arts; analyse visual 
or audio-visual elements in public information
campaigns; compare print media with other visual or audio-visual
coverage of specific events or issues; offer semiotic readings
of visual communication elements in a range of contexts; or otherwise 
analyse visual and audio-visual communication elements in research 
methods and practices, education, learning, personal development, 
teacher development, public communication, the media, leadership 
development, or other areas.

The uniting factor for the articles in the special issue will be their
attention to visual and audio-visual communication factors, and their
provision of
these visual and audio-visual materials online on the site, accompanying
the published articles, in a way that off-line publishing cannot offer
to the same degree.

Articles can be either full-length submissions for refereeing, or short
slide presentations, opinion pieces or case studies (including
teaching case studies) for the commentary section.

Note: This topic will become our first PRism "living archive".  
Articles will be published online after being reviewed on a case by case
process (rather than closing off the issue after a pre-established
deadline). This ability to build the issue as a living document and
create a dialogue between its successive contributions will
differentiate PRism as an online publication.  
 
A special edition team for the audio visual communication topic will
assist the editors to set up the 'online living archive' process,
including assisting with refereeing. Please contact Annick Janson if you
are interested in joining the special edition team for 2006.  All team
members will have their contributions acknowledged on the site.
