[Air-L] Call For Paper - Hybrid Media Worlds

[Alessandra Micalizzi]

Thee call for book proposals for the CPCP series is out.

For 2026, the main topic is: Hybrid Media Worlds: Practices, Actors, and
Cultural Negotiations.

This Call for Book Proposals for the *Communication Processes and Cultural
Practices* series invites scholars to explore hybridization as a key
analytical lens for examining contemporary media practices. We welcome
proposals that critically investigate hybrid forms of consumption and
production, shifting modes of participation and recognition, and the
cultural, social, and political implications of living and acting within
hybrid media environments. The series welcomes both single-authored
monographs and edited collections that offer original theoretical
perspectives, robust empirical research, or innovative methodological
approaches.

Proposals may address, but are not limited to, the following topics:

   - Hybrid forms of media production: between professionalization,
   platformization, and informal creativity
   - Consumption as participation, labour, and identity performance
   - The blurring of roles: audiences, users, producers, prosumers,
   influencers, and cultural intermediaries
   - Hybrid cultural economies: visibility, reputation, data, affect, and
   monetization
   - Platform cultures and the reconfiguration of creative and
   communicative practices
   - Media hybridization across genres, formats, and industries
   (journalism, entertainment, art, activism, education)
   - Algorithmic mediation and its impact on practices of recognition and
   self-positioning
   - Hybrid publics, communities, and networked forms of belonging
   - Methodological hybridization in media and communication research
   - Power, inequalities, and exclusions in hybrid media practices

Interdisciplinary approaches drawing from communication and media studies,
cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, digital humanities, and related
fields are strongly encouraged.

Two submission rounds are planned for 2026:

   - March 28th, 2026 (EXTENDED DEADLINE)
   - July 31st, 2026

Book proposals (series or monographs) should include a working title, an
abstract, a detailed table of contents, information on the intended
audience, and a short bio of the author(s) or editor(s).

We look forward to receiving proposals that critically engage with the
complexities of hybrid media worlds and contribute to advancing debates on
communication processes and cultural practices.
