[ecrea] Call for papers Depth of Field

Call for Papers Depth of Field #5 and  #6
(theme issue on Photography, Tourism and
Looking at ‘The Other’)



We invite submissions to Depth of Field, a scientific open-access 
journal about photography and media culture in the Low Countries, 
published in English (journal.depthoffield.eu). It focuses on the 
history and theory of photography and media culture in the Netherlands 
and Belgium, within an international context. Depth of Field appears 
twice a year, is published by Scherptediepte foundation 
(www.scherptediepte.eu) and is supported by The Netherlands Organisation 
for Scientific Research (NWO).

In order to mobilize new critical interventions into the study of 
photography and media culture, we welcome contributions that investigate:

·    the history of photography/media culture

·    the work of a particular artist/photographer

·    various genres and kinds of photographic and media practice

·    diverse theoretical approaches to the study of photography/media 
culture

We invite (previously unpublished) contributions from scholars working 
in different domains such as visual arts, art history, history, 
photography theory, journalism, film and video studies, media, 
communication and popular culture studies, as well as science and 
technology studies and visual anthropology and sociology. 
Interdisciplinary research is particularly welcome.



We invite traditional essays (ca. 4000 words) as well as a variety of 
alternative formats, such as critical etymologies, visual/photographic 
essays and book/exhibition reviews (1500 words max.).
