[csaa-forum] Call for Papers: Special issue of Journal of Popular Film & Television

[Stuart Bender]

Hi folks


This special issue of the Journal of Popular Film & Television is currently seeking submissions and tentative abstracts dealing with the digital aesthetics of violence.


This special issue of the Journal of Popular Film and Television is designed to focus on the implications of the relationship between digital technologies and the aesthetic of violence. Contributors may explore (but are not limited to) questions such as:

  *   In what ways has the digital aesthetic changed the visual expression of violence in specific traditional media genres-action-adventure, science fiction, horror, crime dramas and police procedurals, etc.?
  *   How has the increased accessibility and affordability of digital technologies impacted production, reproduction, circulation, consumption of, and discourses around violent imagery?
  *   What can we learn about the cultural and historical impacts of the real-world violence encountered by citizen reporters transmitting digital video-live and viral-of pro-democracy protests worldwide?
  *   How has the audience experience and expectations of cinematic and televisual verisimilitude been transformed by spectacular displays of bodies, vehicles, and skyscrapers programmed into hyperreal collision?
  *   What impact has the digitized visualization of violence onscreen had on raced, classed, and gendered representations and/or real-world identity formations?

We encourage a variety of academic, historical, critical, analytical, and theoretical approaches, as well as submissions from authors in the popular press. Tentative abstracts are encouraged at the initial stage. Full manuscripts deadline October 15, 2015.
