CALL FOR PAPERS
Critical Studies in Television: scholarly studies of small screen fictions
Editors: Kim Akass, Stephen Lacey, David Lavery, Janet McCabe, Robin Nelson 
and Rhonda V. Wilcox.

ABOUT CST: CST is an online journal that aims to provide a major 
international forum for the presentation of research and discussion of 
television with a specific focus upon fictions made for the small screen. 
The emphasis of the journal is thus on programmes constructed for the 
medium of television not specifically catered for in current academic 
journals.  This includes episodic and serial dramas and continuing serial 
dramas like soaps and single plays, but CST is also open to consideration 
of innovative and interactive fictions for the small screen.

CST acknowledges in its open title that the understanding of television 
texts extends to production and reception contexts and that it is 
increasingly difficult to delineate factual from fictional constructs. 
Thus, contributions locating television products in a wider range of issues 
in cultural and social analysis are welcome. Proposals on a diverse range 
of topics will be considered. These could include:

Period drama;
Cult TV;
Series-serial dramas;
Continuing serial dramas (soaps);
The single play;
Children's TV;
Trans-nationalism; domestic production; international reception

5000 word articles are sought from potential contributors to CST, and must 
be submitted electronically by 1 December (for the March issue). They 
should follow the format outlined below and be accompanied by an abstract 
of 100-150 words. Acknowledgement of receipt will be given and contribution 
refereed anonymously.  Articles should be in English.  Authors are 
responsible for obtaining permissions from copyright holders for 
reproducing any previously published material. Unsolicited manuscripts will 
not be returned.

Format for Submitted Work
Articles must be typed in double spacing.  British spelling should be used 
except in the case of words where the 'z' has generally replaced the 's' 
e.g. organize. Use italic type as appropriate for titles of publications 
and single quotation marks for articles.  Tables and figures should be 
clearly labelled and explained in the text. Essential endnotes should be 
indicated by superscript figures in the text and collected on a single page 
at the end of the article.  References cited in the text should read 
thus:  (Jenkins 1992: 63-4), (Jenkins and Jones: 1987, 1980).  Use 'et al.' 
when citing a work by more than two authors, e.g. (Jenkins et al. 
1988).  The letters a, b, c etc. should be used to distinguish different 
citations by the same author in the same year, e.g. (Jenkins 1985a, 1985b). 
All references cited in the text should be listed alphabetically and in 
full after the notes, using the following style:

Akass, Kim and Janet McCabe (2004) 'Ms Parker and the Vicious Circle: 
Female Narrative and Humour in Sex and the City.' In Kim Akass and Janet 
McCabe (eds) Reading 'Sex and the City'. London: I.B. Tauris: 177-198.
Battles, Kathleen and Wendy Hilton-Morrow (2002) 'Gay Characters in 
Conventional Spaces: Will and Grace and the Situation Comedy Genre.' 
Cultural Studies in Media Communication. 19.1: 87-105.
Coren, Victoria. 'Sex and the City Has Betrayed Us Single Women.' Evening 
Standard. 3 January 2003: 11.

separate title page only.

Proposed contributions should be e-mailed in the first instance to the CST 
Administrator: <mailto:(janet /at/ cst.com)>(editors /at/ criticalstudiesintelevision.com).

Any hard correspondence should be addressed sent to:
CST Administrator,

CALL FOR PAPERS: TV Shorts.
Critical Studies in Television: scholarly studies of small screen fictions
Editors: Kim Akass, Stephen Lacey, David Lavery, Janet McCabe, Robin Nelson 
and Rhonda V. Wilcox.

ABOUT CST: CST is an online journal that aims to provide a major 
international forum for the presentation of research and discussion of 
television with a specific focus upon fictions made for the small screen. 
The emphasis of the journal is thus on programmes constructed for the 
medium of television not specifically catered for in current academic 
journals.  This includes episodic and serial dramas and continuing serial 
dramas like soaps and single plays, but CST is also open to consideration 
of innovative and interactive fictions for the small screen.

CST acknowledges in its open title that the understanding of television 
texts extends to production and reception contexts and that it is 
increasingly difficult to delineate factual from fictional constructs. 
Thus, contributions locating television products in a wider range of issues 
in cultural and social analysis are welcome. Proposals on a diverse range 
of topics will be considered.

2500 word articles are sought from potential contributors to the TV Shorts 
section in CST, and must be submitted electronically to the administrator. 
It is hoped that these shorter articles will react to current trends in 
television fictions, offering polemic argument and an immediate response. 
There is no set deadline for the TV Shorts. Instead submit paper as and 
when. To ensure a quick turnaround, the editorial panel will approve these 
pieces prior to posting. Writers of the best contributions will be invited 
to re-work and extend their piece for possible publication in the hard copy 
issue. Articles should be in English.

Contributions from post-graduates and aspiring researchers would also be 
welcome.

Format for Submitted Work
TV Shorts must be typed in double spacing.  British spelling should be used 
except in the case of words where the 'z' has generally replaced the 's' 
e.g. organize. Use italic type as appropriate for titles of publications 
and single quotation marks for articles.  Tables and figures should be 
clearly labelled and explained in the text. Essential endnotes should be 
indicated by superscript figures in the text and collected on a single page 
at the end of the article.  References cited in the text should read 
thus:  (Jenkins 1992: 63-4), (Jenkins and Jones: 1987, 1980).  Use 'et al.'
