[ecrea] New Book Series: Call for prospective authors

Mon Apr 03 10:03:13 GMT 2017



***

We are happy to announce the launch of the Routledge Book Series *Critical Perspectives on Citizen Media* and invite prospective authors to consider the book series for their next book length study, reference work, or edited volume.

http://citizenmediaseries.org/

Aims and Scope of the Series

This new series seeks to define and advance understanding of citizen media, understood here as the physical artefacts, digital content, performative interventions and discursive formations of affective sociality that ordinary citizens produce as they participate in public life to effect aesthetic or socio-political change.

Critical Perspectives on Citizen Media welcomes studies on citizen media content produced in both virtual and physical, as well as hybrid media environments. It acknowledges the important role that embodied forms of citizen media continue to play as influential sites of investment of aesthetic affectivity and/or political affinity, particularly in communities where digital infrastructures remain underdeveloped and literacy rates – digital or otherwise – are still low. At the same time, it aims to advance knowledge on the dialectic between citizen media and digital technologies, whether this is underlain by a relationship of empowering synergy or driven by dynamics of regulative tension – in those cases where the technologization of citizen media effectively restricts the transformative power of citizenship practices. As part of this second strand, the series seeks to publish studies that engage with the empowering or constraining impact of social networking platforms and other hyperlinked environments on the production, circulation and reception of citizen media content.

The series publishes research on the interface between citizen media and a range of intertwined themes, including participation, immaterial work, witnessing, resistance and performance. Read more about these themes on the series website.

Series Editor

Luis Pérez-González, University of Manchester (UK) Bolette Blaagaard, Aalborg University (Denmark) Mona Baker, University of Manchester (UK)

Format of the Series

The series aims to publish high-quality and original studies in the form of:

Research titles that advance interdisciplinary understanding of the various means and practices of citizenship representation and expression in a range of media environments; both monographs and edited collections (conference proceedings are not considered for publication as part of this series).

Student orientated titles; either textbooks or other single authored or edited books aimed at undergraduate or postgraduate courses. Titles must fall under the umbrella of citizen media as outlined above, for which there is a viable or emerging market.

Website and Digital Supplements

The series is supported by an innovative web presence and the series editors welcome submissions for electronic supplements to book projects and other non-traditional forms of publishing which may be hosted on the site. Non-traditional forms of publishing may include, but are not limited to, interviews with and audio/video presentations by the authors of specific volumes, 3D visualizations, photo and video galleries and other data sets that may be produced by some of the research published as part of the series.
