[ecrea] CFP - Global Television: Aesthetics and Style

> CALL FOR PAPERS: J Jacobs and S Peacock (eds.), 
> Global Television: Aesthetics and Style (Continuum Press, forthcoming 2012)
>
> The question of how television operates on a 
> stylistic level has been critically 
> underexplored, despite being fundamental to our 
> viewing experience. Contributions are sought for 
> a new book raising key questions about 
> televisionâ??s artistic properties and 
> possibilities. Although Film Studies has 
> successfully (re)turned attention to matters of 
> style and interpretation, its sibling discipline 
> has left the territory uncharted â?? until now. 
> Proposals are welcome on any aspect of 
> television aesthetics and style, with a view to 
> the collection presenting three types of essay: 
> (i) conceptual pieces, examining the way we 
> judge television as both cultural artifact and 
> art form; (ii) close readings of particular 
> television programmes/episodes focusing on 
> aspects of aesthetic design; (iii) analyses of 
> the impact of technology on television 
> aesthetics and style. Proposals concentrating on 
> examples or debates of world television are particularly welcome.
>
> Proposals of no more than 300 words should be 
> sent by March 14 2011 to (s.peacock /at/ herts.ac.uk) 
> or (j.jacobs /at/ uq.edu.au) including a brief 
> biographical statement. Essays are to be between 
> 2000-5000 words, though 'critical snapshots' of 
> 1000 words will also be considered.
