>The 2012 volume of Northern Lights will focus on 
>the renewed interest in film and media 
>production. In recent years there has been a 
>shift across a broad field of media and cultural 
>studies from primarily devoting attention to the 
>finished product, oeuvre or reception to also 
>considering production practices. On the one 
>hand, technological changes in the modes of 
>production and distribution have caused a 
>blurring of boundaries between media consumers 
>and producers. On the other hand, concurrent 
>with a heightened awareness of the project-based 
>nature of work in creative industries, a 
>scholarly interest in creative collaborations, 
>choices and constraints as well as institutional 
>contexts have emerged. New empirical topics 
>along with new theoretical and analytical tools 
>have gained ground within film and media 
>research in response to this development. Areas 
>of studies such as screenwriting, creativity 
>and convergence culture are appearing, just as 
>familiar theoretical keywords like production 
>aesthetics and cultural production are being 
>rethought. Acknowledging that the conditions of 
>production have a great impact on the framework 
>for reception, production analysis and theory 
>may pave the way for new insights into the 
>aesthetical, technological, ethical, 
>ideological, political and economical aspects of film and media.
>
>
>In particular, the editors will consider 
>articles relating to the following themes:
>
>"    Analyses of creative work and production 
>practices through theoretically informed case studies.
>"    The changes brought about by user-generated 
>content and other participatory practices to 
>different media formats and to the larger 
>contexts, e.g., of popular culture, the public debate and politics.
>"    The convergence of different media systems 
>setting new conditions for the modes of production.
>"    Collaborative practices in film and media 
>production, e.g., how they challenge the 
>traditional notions of oeuvre and authorship.
>"    Studies of institutional frameworks and 
>power structures in the film and media industry globally as well as nationally.
>"    Changes in the roles and self-perceptions 
>of film and media professionals prompted by new modes of production.
