[ecrea] The Tenth Anniversary Issue of Feminist Media Studies

Feminist Media Studies: The Journal¹s Tenth Anniversary Issue

To mark the 10th anniversary of Feminist Media Studies, the editors invited
a diverse and multi-generational group of seventeen prominent and promising
feminist scholars from around the world to each contribute a brief,
thought-provoking essay that would remark on a set of questions similar to
those that we asked contributors to address in the first issue of Feminist
Media Studies. The questions directed them to comment on the current status
and future directions of feminist media studies, as follows:

1. What constitutes ³feminist media studies² one decade into the
twenty-first century?
2. What in your view have been some of the most exciting and productive
recent intellectual developments within feminist media studies?
3. What directions within feminist media studies should be re-thought and/or
further developed?
4. What new directions would you propose for theory and research within
feminist media studies (the field and the journal)?

In the ³Commentary and Criticism² section we offer two interviews from
feminists in the ³global South²‹one featuring Ana Carolina Escosteguy, a
media scholar in Brazil, and the other featuring Anita Gurumurthy, a media
activist/researcher located in India. The main aim of the interviews was to
elicit their views on what sorts of social, cultural and economic impacts
feminist media studies might be having in their respective countries and
regions and the extent to which feminist ideas and activism is shaping
everyday life. The interviews demonstrate the importance of investigating
the local while simultaneously acknowledging global shifts in knowledge
production and distribution.
