Special Issue of Feminist Review – ‘Media transformations’
Call for papers

Boundaries between production and consumption, and between previously
discrete media practices are dissolving. This special issue of Feminist
Review will analyse how rapid shifts in contemporary media processes and
practices are impacting on women’s engagement with communications and
production as well as the representation of marginalized groups.

Current developments such as Web 2.0, networking, online distribution and
mobile media will be explored in the context of gendered histories of
media production and reception.

The intention is to look at change and continuity in the uses, practices,
aesthetics and theorization of the media in the light of the growth of new
pervasive technologies. We are hoping that the issue will explore the
following questions:
How do new media technologies affect gendered authorship and agency?

How does age and generation intersect with gender with respect to the uses
of 'old' and 'new' media?

What cultural and historical variations are there in terms of the meanings
and impact of media and communications technologies?

Illustrated, reflective pieces by digital media practitioners are welcome
and samples of work discussed may be uploaded to the Feminist Review website.

Possible topics might include:

‘alternative’ media and feminist activism; networked cultures; gender,
life histories and blogs; gender and authorship; women’s cinema; questions
of distribution; media employment; ‘post-convergence’; ethics and
representation; media processes; gender and media education

Submissions for the issue are welcomed from now until 30 March 2010.
Articles should be between 6,000-7,000 words in length. An abstract of
200-300 words should accompany the article, plus a list of up to six
keywords suitable for indexing and abstracting services.
Detailed instructions on how to submit (electronic submission only) can be
found at http://www.palgrave-journals.com/fr/index.html&#8232;&#8232;

We also welcome shorter pieces of creative
or analytical writing (up to 1000 words, or 4000 words for interviews) or
visual material on the theme for our 'Open Space' section. These pieces
may be topical and/or polemical. They are not sent out to be
peer-reviewed, but are selected by the editors of the issue.

Enquiries
about the issue should be sent to Lizzie Thynne (l.thynne la sussex.ac.uk) or
Dr Nadje Al-Ali (N.S.Al-Ali la soas.ac.uk).
