FEMINIST MEDIA STUDIES

Commentary & Criticism Call for Papers

We invite contributions for the Commentary and Criticism section of Feminist Media Studies.



Potential contributors can write to co-editors, Kaitlynn Mendes ((kmendes /at/ dmu.ac.uk)) and Kumarini Silva ((kumi /at/ email.unc.edu)) to express preliminary interest. Final essays of between 1,500-2,000 words are due by Monday, 22nd April 2013.





Gender, Disability, Disfigurement and Media



While there is a large amount of research done on minority issues, one that is largely understudied is representation of disability/disfigurement. While last year’s Paralympic Games in London provided a rare opportunity for people with disabilities/disfigurement to be the focus of media attention, we felt it was an opportune moment to place a call for papers on the topic of gender, disability/disfigurement and media.



We therefore welcome papers which focus on, but are not limited to:



-          Representations of men/women with disfigurements/disability

-          Frequency of disability/disfigurement in the media

-          Use of disabled/disfigured individuals to produce media

-          Audience reception of disability/disfigurement

- Use of social media to provide a space for discussion and shared experiences of disfigurement/disability





Please be sure to follow the Feminist Media Studies style guide, which can be found at the following link: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/journal.asp?issn=1468-0777&linktype=44 and authors are reminded to email their submission directly to Kaitlynn Mendes or Kumarini Silva.
