*Call*

This second call follows a first call for chapters for an edited book on 
Transmedia in Asia and Pacific region aimed at filling in a gap in 
current research that mostly focuses on work emanating from Europe, the 
UK and US.

Based on the different submission selected, the book will mostly focuses 
on the interplay between top-down and bottom-up transmedia practices 
(Jenkins, 2006), the transcultural dialogue facilitated by transmedia 
activism, and transmedia as a framework facilitating formal and informal 
learning.

While we have a broad representation of countries from Asia — China, 
Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan — we are still looking 
for chapters discussing the above-mentioned topics in South Korea, and 
countries from the Pacific rim — Australia, New Zealand, and other 
Pacific Island nations.
