[ecrea] Call for proposals - Hands On History

DEADLINE APPROACHING - 10 JULY 2017


We seek proposals for a small number of original essays to include in 
Hands On History (eds. John Ellis and Nick Hall), an edited collection 
focusing on practical and embodied approaches to the history of media 
technology.

The collection explores the relevance of the new methodology of hands on 
history to the study of media. Forging links between the diverse fields 
of media studies, history of technology, and media archaeology, this 
collection brings together current practices in museums and academic 
research into hands on history in the fields of image-based media. These 
range across:

         * computer games,
         * photographic history,
         * television and film,
         * professional and domestic practices,
         * industrial production,
         * leisure activities.

We seek proposals for essays of between 5,500 and 6,500 words in length. 
They may be on any subject which relates to “hands on” research or 
practice around the image-based media, broadly defined. The editors will 
be very happy to discuss and develop proposals in advance of submission.

The collection is under contract with Routledge and will be delivered to 
the publisher in 2018.

Please send enquiries or a short (approx. 200 words) proposal, along 
with a CV or resumé, to (nick.hall /at/ rhul.ac.uk) no later than 10 July 2017. 
The deadline for submission of accepted proposals will be 13 November 2017.
