Call for Papers: ‘Media and Consumption’, special issue of Animus, volume 11, Issue 22, 2012



Guest editor: Sandra Rubia Silva (Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil)

Editor-in-chief: Ada Cristina Machado da Silveira (Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil)

Managing editor: Claudia Regina Zillioto Bomfá (Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil)





Animus – Inter-American Journal of Mediatic Communication (http://cascavel.ufsm.br/revistas/ojs-2.2.2/index.php/animus, Portuguese only), the scientific journal of the Graduate Program in Communication at the Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil, seeks articles for a special issue on media and consumption, focusing on – but not exclusively - research carried out in the Global South, to be published in December 2012.



This special issue seeks culturally informed critiques of different forms of media consumption. Contributions grounded in empirical research (especially qualitative) are particularly welcome. We are especially interested in papers that analyze the diverse genres of cultural consumption as influenced by the media.



Essays that reveal earlier precedents for this phenomenon, or works that reveal how theories developed in the past should be re-evaluated in the light of the dynamics of media consumption in the Global South are also welcome.



The following list indicates, but is not limited to the range of potential topics:

· The role of media consumption in its intersection with contemporary consumer culture;

· Genres of media consumption such as magazines, television, and information and communication technologies;

·        Media consumption and the construction of identities.



The editors kindly request authors to send papers (30,000 – 50,000 characters in length) together with an abstract of no more than 150 words and three keywords, to the following address: (sandraxrubia /at/ gmail.com), with a copy to (reivstaanimus /at/ ufsm.br), until October 31st, 2012. Animus accepts papers written in English, Spanish or Portuguese. Authors will be notified by e-mail. Any queries should be directed to the guest editor, Sandra Rubia Silva at (sandraxrubia /at/ gmail.com)
