[ecrea] Call for Papers: Science Fiction Film and Television Special Issue

*/Science Fiction Film and Television/*is seeking articles for a special 
issue on Women & Science Fiction Media, intended to mark the *200^th 
year anniversary* of the publication of Mary Shelley’s /Frankenstein/.

Although sf was once stereotyped as a male genre, more recently women’s 
contributions as authors, fans, editors, and more have become more 
widely acknowledged. Central to this new understanding of women’s 
contributions to sf has been the realization that *women have always 
been a part of the genre*, resisting another stereotype that links 
women’s emergence in the field to the feminist fiction of the 1960s and 
1970s. In recognition of the bicentenary of the publication of 
/Frankenstein/ (1818) by Mary Shelley, arguably the first sf novel, we 
seek essays that recognize, interrogate, respond to and *celebrate 
women’s contributions to media sf*. We are interested in reviewing any 
work that explores this topic, but we are particularly interested in 
contributions on the following topics:

·Female directors of sf film and television

·Female sf showrunners

·Female scriptwriters in sf

·Gender and Mary Shelley’s legacy in sf’s imagination of created beings

·/Frankenstein/remakes, adaptations, reboots and reinventions

·Gender and casting, and character arc in media sf

·Gender in sf fandom and criticism

Articles should be _7000 to 9000 words in length_, including footnotes 
and bibliography. Submissions (in word or rtf, following MLA style) 
should be made via our website at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/lup-sfftv.

Any queries should be directed to the editors, Mark Bould 
((mark.bould /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(mark.bould /at/ gmail.com)>), Gerry Canavan 
((gerrycanavan /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(gerrycanavan /at/ gmail.com)>) and Sherryl 
Vint ((sherryl.vint /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(sherryl.vint /at/ gmail.com)>).

*The deadline for submissions for this special issue is March 15, 2017.*
