[ecrea] www.audiovisualthinking.org - journal for academic videos

> Welcome to Audiovisual
> Thinking
> We are happy to announce the launch and Call for Videos of the online
> journal Audiovisual Thinking (
>
> www.audiovisualthinking.org), the world's first journal of academic
> videos. 
>  
> Audiovisual Thinking is a pioneering forum where academics and educators
> can articulate, conceptualize and disseminate their research about
> audiovisuality and audiovisual culture through the medium of video. 
>  
> International in scope and multidisciplinary in approach, the purpose of
> Audiovisual Thinking is to develop and promote academic thinking in and
> about all aspects of audiovisuality and audiovisual culture. 
>  
> Advised by a board of leading academics and thinkers in the fields of
> audiovisuality, communication and the media and hosted by Copenhagen
> University, the journal seeks to set the standard for academic
> audiovisual essays now and in the future. 
>  
> Why is Audiovisual Thinking important?
> We study, teach and research the moving image, media and audiovisuality,
> yet we rarely mediate in these same forms and media. Audiovisual Thinking
> is a forum where academics and researches can articulate their thoughts
> and research about audiovisual culture and media in audiovisual ways.
>  
> Society has changed radically due technological changes in audiovisual
> mediation and new digital tools/platforms. Video is becoming a central
> part of our everyday life and communication, as well as a valuable tool
> for researchers to share their results, insights and engage with the
> academic and other communities. Academics have many different forms of
> media for expressing ourselves, for example text, audio and images. These
> different media have different strengths and weaknesses. Traditionally,
> academic dissemination and debate have relied very much on the written
> text. But now, audio and images should be embraced by the academic world,
> not because it is better than the written word, but because video can say
> things differently.
>  
> Please visit us on
>
> www.audiovisualthinking.org to watch academic videos and submit your

> Video submissions are welcome from all fields of study and, as one would
> expect, the main criteria for submissions are that the discussion and
> thinking are conveyed through audiovisual means.
