[ecrea] Journal of Media Practice - special Disruptive issue in progress, call to join the conversation Š

Tue Jul 05 19:04:16 GMT 2016



This special issue of the Journal of Media Practice<http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/rjmp20#.V3PdMJMrKRs>, ‘The disrupted Journal of Media Practice’ is guest edited by the Centre for Disruptive Media<http://disruptivemedia.org.uk/> and Disruptive Media Learning Lab<http://dmll.org.uk/>.

This disrupted issue experiments with how media practice, in rethinking research as practice, can also disrupt the way we mediate this research through various formal and informal scholarly forms (including the academic journal). Although media practice as a field and community embraces a plurality of media, the materiality of its scholarly forms of production and communication remain predominantly text-based. How then, can a journal of media practice (JMP) extend from a speculative focus on what media practice as research could be, to an exploration of the alternative forms of communication and circulation it could enable?

Three central questions have been posed:

* How is media practice disruptive of and re-performing the way we do scholarly communication and education?
   *   How can JMP reconfigure (the politics of) its own practice?
* What should a disruptive ‘journal’ of media practice look / sound / feel like?

Topics of conversation

The aim of this open access special issue is to put forward a number of provocations with respect to what a ‘journal of media practice’ should or could be. To provide an alternative to the standard journal article, the guest editors have structured this issue around a selection of conversations to emphasise the evolving and collaborative nature of research. The submissions around which these conversations are centred are multimodal, text-based or hybrid; articles, blog posts or books. The conversations openly evolve (from ‘drafts’ to ‘final versions’ and beyond) incorporating peer commentary and reviews from invited media practitioners and the audience at large.

On this platform you can find (links to) the various submissions to this special issue. These submissions are all works-in-progress and will be further developed on this platform as (part of) a selection of conversations around media practice, which will take place from July 1st until September 15th 2016. After this period, the submissions will undergo an open peer review procedure to improve them further and to make a selection of those submissions that will be included in the online and paper-version of the Journal of Media Practice, based on their strength, quality and relevance.
