Dear All,
"TransMissions: Journal of Film and Media Studies", online academic
journal affiliated at the Jagiellonian University, Poland announced
new CfP: *Transnational Perspectives on Film and Media.*
The main areas of our interests are:
- The attempts at defining transnational aesthetics
- The relations between global and local, national and transnational
- The issues of colonial and neo-colonial interrelations
- Racial and ethnic stereotypes in media
- Today’s ethnic and national conflicts (and their media representations)
- Human trafficking as a dark side of the transnationalism
- Television series in transnational context
- Cross-cultural narratives and crossover cinema as „emerging form of
cinema that crosses cultural borders at the stage of conceptualization and
production” (Sukhmani Khorama)
- The Europeanness of European cinema (what is a European identity
today?)
- The significance of international film festivals for constructing a
transnational perspective
- Asian cinema in transnational context (e.g. Japanese horror and its
American remakes)
- Contemporary Latin-American cinemas as transnational phenomenon
- Exilic filmmakers and diasporic cinema
- Transcultural cinemas in the postcommunist countries
- Cinema in the era of digital distribution
- Toward the cinema of transvergence that „denies the totality of binary
epistemology” (Will Higbee), e.g. center /margin, self / other, home / exile
- Minority media online and offline
- Subversive media reception in transnational contexts (e.g. in case of
censorship)
- National media hegemonies on European, Asian and South American markets
- Legislative and administrative support for transnational media
production
- Local characteristics of electronic media usage
- Electronic media users’ networking over national borders.
