Call for papers, Volume 3, Issue 1

We now invite submissions on all persona-related topics for volume 3, issue
1 of Persona Studies (to be released April 2017).

It seems the world’s attention is shifting to consider questions of
authenticity and legitimacy in a post-truth, fake news era. The increasing
polarisation of political and social views is heightening tensions in
families, workplaces, and public spaces. The role of the persona, whether
writ large by celebrities or produced for intimate, domestic networks, can
provide us with critical insight into ways people perform their various
identities for others.

Creative works and traditional article submissions could address (but are
not limited to) persona in:
Politics
Television, film, radio
Games
Social media
Subculture
Celebrity
Feminism
Youth
Professions
Mobile media
Authenticity


For both creative and critical works, please submit a 250-300 word abstract
or proposal to personastudies at gmail.com by 3 February 2017. Artists and
authors will be notified of initial acceptance by 10 February 2017. Please
note that official acceptance of the work is contingent upon peer review.
Full papers (5,000-8,000 words) and projects are due 11 March 2017.

For creative submissions where peer review or critical response is not
desired, a full submission will be required by 1 April 2016. Please advise
in your initial proposal if you would a creative arts review.
