CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: Production Studies, Volume II

Setting its lens on the storied nature of media industries practices and 
their practitioners, Production Studies: Cultural Studies of Media 
Industries (Routledge, 2009) called for a return to studying local, 
regional, and national economies of media through the perspectives of 
media makers and production cultures.  Studies of media workplace 
cultures, invisible labor, trade mythologies, as well as social 
relationships and power dynamics in the workplace are now often elements 
of a well-rounded industrial critique. The varied work of production 
studies researchers provides a range of self-reflexive interdisciplinary 
approaches to examining the roles of cultural producers and lay theories 
of their practices.  Five years after Production Studies, it is time to 
assess where cultural studies of production are going, and where they 
may take us next.

Editors Vicki Mayer (Tulane University), Miranda Banks (Emerson 
College), and Bridget Conor (King's College London) seek chapter 
proposals for the second volume of Production Studies.  We are 
especially interested in reading new approaches to the study of 
production across a wide range of media industries (music, publishing, 
video games, web design, etc.) and from across the globe.  Abstracts 
should be 500-700 words and include a biographical background.  Selected 
authors would be asked to turn in first drafts of their 6000-word 
chapters by May 1, 2014.

Please address your abstracts and inquiries to Vicki ((vmayer /at/ tulane.edu) 
<mailto:(vmayer /at/ tulane.edu)>) by October 1, 2013.
