CS- Journal of Media, Performing Arts and Cultural Studies

CS is an international journal edited by the Department of Communication 
and Performing Arts and the Graduate School of Media Communications and 
Performing Arts (ALMED) of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore 
(Milan). Founded in 1973 and regularly published since 1979, the journal 
hosts monographic and miscellaneous issues on a variety of topics in the 
performing arts, film, radio, television, journalism, advertising, and 
digital media. The journal welcomes interdisciplinary perspectives and 
promotes rigorous debates on theory, history, critical analysis of media 
production and consumption, also from ethical and anthropological points 
of views.

CS uses a double-blinded peer review system and has an international 
editorial board.



Special Issue – (En)gendered creativity

Creative industries (an expression that replaces the traditional notion 
of “cultural industries” in present-day global economy) point at the 
persistence of

gender imbalance in media organizations (as a European Community report 
has recently illustrated - 
http://eige.europa.eu/content/document/advancing-gender-equality-in-decision-making-in-media-organisations-report) 
and in professional contexts associated with them (Scott - Semmens - 
Willoughby, 2004).

This special issue of CS examines the many forms that gendered 
creativity assumes, especially in relation to the following questions:



- What are the hallmarks of "femininity" in cultural creativity? Can we 
identify distinctive qualities of “feminine poiesis” in media art and 
communication?



- What are the building strategies of gender differentiation in creative 
industries? - What are the traits of gendered creativity in grassroots 
globalized activities?



- What is women’s contribution to the diversifying contexts of media 
economies and networks? - How can we describe women’s "agency" in 
creative industries and other forms of creativity?



-What are the currency and the viability of feminist discourse and 
praxis in forms of entrepreneurship and professional agency based on 
digital and transmedia production and circulation?



- What is women’s contribution to the scholarship on creative 
industries? What is the role of feminist discourse in this literature?
