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

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.
