Deletion Special Episode Call For Papers: Doctor Who: “…definitely a 
madman with a box!”



Deletion is calling for original contributions for a special themed 
‘episode’ on Doctor Who. Following the 50th anniversary celebrations the 
return of the Time Lord later this year. What new directions are 
possible for a series with such history, production demands and 
passionate fandom?

Deletion invites contributions from science, philosophy and all other 
approaches that consider the visual alongside the aural and the 
aesthetic, to critically engage with the series’ future, past and 
present and to forge new perspectives for the study of this iconic SF 
imaginarium. We aim to reflect a diversity of approaches and seek 
contributions that offer new critical dimensions and concepts to engage 
with the series, its themes and concepts, its cultural importance and 
its impact, directions and meaning. Deletion encourages the submission 
of non-standard submissions such as creative pieces. Contributions 
should be between 1200 -1500 words, but can also take the form of 2-3 
minute podcasts, video blogs, image galleries, and other media.

- Death and Life and Regeneration

- Reimagining Time and Space: multi-dimensional perspectives and places
