“SERIES. International Journal of TV Serial Narratives” 
(series.unibo.it) is an open access and peer-reviewed journal, with ISSN 
and indexed in major international databases. It publishes 2 issues per 
year, and is mainly devoted to television seriality. It is a joint

Superior de Gandia/DCADHA) and Università di Bologna.

We are pleased to invite submissions for the eighth issue of the journal 
(year IV, no. 02), which will be out in December 2018. The main focus of 
the journal is to promote a global discussion forum and an 
interdisciplinary exchange among scholars engaged in research into TV 
serial narratives. We encourage methodological innovations and 
contributions concerning the narrative, technological, economic, social 
and cultural impact of television dramas and comedies, webseries, 
telenovelas and other serial forms.

SERIES encourages submissions that cover a large variety of topics, 
including:

  * theoretical and methodological explorations on the nature and value
    of television seriality;
  * taxonomies and analysis of specific formats, styles, linguistic
    features, genres;
  * cognitive perspectives on narrative structures, characters, viewer
    engagement;
  * investigations of creative, production, distribution and marketing
    issues;
  * empirical research on audiences, fandoms, digital communities;
  * social network analysis, big data analysis, and other possible
    frameworks and models;
  * comparative studies on a transnational and/or transmedial basis;
  * investigations of stylistic elements, temporality, narrative and
    character design;
  * historical approaches to seriality across different media;
  * peculiar case histories (authors, subgenres, countries, production
    companies, etc.).

Articles should range between 5,000-8,000 words (including abstract, 
notes and references). Full guidelines can be found on our website. In 
order to be included in the issue, full manuscripts must be sent by June
