[ecrea] Call for papers: Media and Journalism Journal nº 29 - Media and Colonialisms | Deadline 20th June

*Media and Journalism Journal nº 29 -  Media and Colonialisms | Deadline 
20th June *

A little more than 40 years have passed since the Portuguese democratic 
revolution of April 25, 1974 and the independence of African countries. 
There are several symptoms of a renewed interest on this recent past 
from the part of Portuguese scholars and artists, almost always filled 
with memories both happy and traumatic. Throughout this time, the 
scientific field of Communication Sciences has been more attentive to 
issues such as the freedom of speech and of the press, as well as the 
relationship between journalism and democracy. Although, these themes 
relate to that of colonialism and post-colonialism they seldom were 
approached in that context. However, there are currently a number of 
researchers of journalism, media and contemporary cultures that have 
been investigating, with multiple approaches, the relations between 
media and colonialisms. Those from the past, as well as those emerging 
today, or a mixture of both past and present.

We invite all to participate in this new issue of the Journal of Media 
and Journalism, which seeks to reflect upon the role of the media in the 
construction and deconstruction of empires. From television to the 
Internet, from cinema to photography, from media and journalism, to the 
news and to the simple words of a poem how were colonialisms made and 
unmade, yesterday as today? Are there or not new forms of colonialism 
manifesting in the media? Do Media Empires exist (in a broad sense of 
the expression)?  What is the role of the media, and of journalism in 
particular, in these contexts? Is it a real menace to democracies or a 
side effect? What differentiates colonialism from other forms of 
domination? Is the Internet a means to decolonize with its promise of an 
hypercommunication? Or does it accomplish a control society (Deleuze) 
establishing new forms of colonization? Are there desired and desirable 
colonial imaginaries? How are artists and academics looking into the 
colonial archives, including their personal and family memories?

We accept articles on these and other issues centered on the 
relationship between media and colonialism, from different areas and 
approaches, such as:

   * Media and Colonialisms
   * Media and Identity Constructions
   * Colonial and Postcolonial Imaginaries
   * Media, Gender and New Forms of Colonialism
   * Internet and Social Networks
   * Radio and Sound Cultures (Is listening a form of obedience?)
   * Visual Cultures, Colonial and Postcolonial Representations
   * Contemporary Cultures in Post-colonialism
   * Cinema and Colonial Archives
   * Contemporary Art and Memory
   * Economics and the Media
The Journal of Media and Journalism is currently a publication of the 
Center for Research in Communication and Digital Culture - CIC.Digital - 
pole of FCSH- New University of Lisbon. It is published in Portuguese, 
English and Spanish and uses a double-blind review arbitration system.

Media and Journalism is a scientific journal that aims to be a forum for 
discussion and dissemination of research conducted on the field of media 
and journalism within and outside the country.
