*Animus – Inter-American Journal of Mediatic Communication *(
http://cascavel.ufsm.br/revistas/ojs-2.2.2/index.php/animus, Portuguese
only), the scientific journal of the Graduate Program in Communication at
the Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil, seeks articles for a special
issue on media and consumption, focusing on – but not exclusively -
research carried out in the Global South, to be published in December 2012.



This special issue seeks culturally informed critiques of different forms
of media consumption. Contributions grounded in empirical research
(especially qualitative) are particularly welcome. We are especially
interested in papers that analyze the diverse genres of cultural
consumption as influenced by the media.



Essays that reveal earlier precedents for this phenomenon, or works that
reveal how theories developed in the past should be re-evaluated in the
light of the dynamics of media consumption in the Global South are also
welcome.



The following list indicates, but is not limited to the range of potential
topics:

·        The role of media consumption in its intersection with
contemporary consumer culture;

·        Genres of media consumption such as magazines, television, and
information and communication technologies;

·        Media consumption and the construction of identities.



The editors kindly request authors to send papers (30,000 – 50,000
characters in length) together with an abstract of no more than 150 words
and three keywords, to the following address: sandraxrubia at gmail.com, with
a copy to reivstaanimus at ufsm.br, until October 31st, 2012. *Animus *accepts
papers written in English, Spanish or Portuguese. Authors will be notified
by e-mail. Any queries should be directed to the guest editor, Sandra Rubia
Silva at sandraxrubia at gmail.com



*General guidelines to authors*

The work submitted must be original and should not be under parallel
evaluation by other journals.

The texts referred for evaluation must be written in Times New Roman, font
