[ecrea] communication +1: CFP - Intersectionalities and Media Archaeologies

/communication +1 /is seeking proposals for Volume 7, 
"Intersectionalities and Media Archaeologies"

Edited by Zachary McDowell and Nathanael Bassett


The emerging field of media archaeology has opened up new avenues of 
research across fields and provided a way to challenge accepted 
historical layers of social and technical arrangements. Drawing from a 
variety of entangled theories and methodologies, bringing in German 
media theory, new materialism, digital humanities, software studies, 
cultural studies, Foucauldian frameworks, and others, media archaeology 
interrogates dead media, alternative technological schema, the 
composition of infrastructures, everyday objects, and other phenomena, 
providing new insights and recontextualization for scholars from an 
array of backgrounds. However, despite the interconnected promise of 
Media Archaeology, the practices and theories remain limited in their 
engagement with much of critical cultural communication and media studies.


In the introduction to “What is Media Archaeology,” Jussi Parikka notes 
that “we need to be prepared to refresh media archaeology itself.” This 
collection seeks essays by critical scholars of communication 
participating in this ongoing emergence of media archaeology as method 
or theorization to study mediums, objects, conjunctures, and other areas 
of interest to the study of communication.

This collection is meant to highlight and connect ways to theorize and 
“refresh” the concepts related to media archaeology in connection with 
the study of communication. We encourage intersectional engagements with 
and applications of media archaeological practices as they function 
theoretically, methodologically, spatially, institutionally, and in 
relation to the study of communication.


With this collection we hope to help provide communication researchers a 
space in which to explore the promise of media archaeology as a critical 
set of lenses in the study of communication.


Please submit short proposals of no more than 500 words by December 3rd, 
2017 to (communicationplusone /at/ gmail.com) 
<mailto:(communicationplusone /at/ gmail.com)>.

Upon invitation, full text submissions will be due April 1st, 2017, with 
expected publication in September, 2018.



About the Journal

The aim of communication +1 is to promote new approaches to and open new 
horizons in the study of communication from an interdisciplinary 
perspective. We are particularly committed to promoting research that 
seeks to constitute new areas of inquiry and to explore new frontiers of 
theoretical activities linking the study of communication to both 
established and emerging research programs in the humanities, social 
sciences, and arts. Other than the commitment to rigorous scholarship, 
communication +1 sets no specific agenda. Its primary objective is to 
create is a space for thoughtful experiments and for communicating these 
experiments.
