IJFMA is preparing a special issue titled ‘Flow and Archive’ dedicated 
to Television and to its current challenges

The digital turn has allowed television to be reimagined after the 
networked computers. Following the telephone and radio, the new paradigm 
inspiring the future of television are the networked computers, their 
social networks and the participatory visual culture established on the 
aftermath of the twentieth century cultural industries. After the 
liveness and flow, definitional components of television, we are 
currently offered with DVR-mediated television experiences and 
collections of short videos which can be uploaded, viewed and shared by 
the viewer. By becoming searchable and accessible online, television 
provides a similar experience to the archives and to the video 
aggregators that entertain the new generations of cellphone viewers. The 
discussion about the future of television not only makes it worth 
thinking about its past, the cultural value of its equipments and its 
most resilient genres, but is certainly an opportunity to analyse how TV 
journalism is challenged by social networks, and how its public service 
can be revalued.

IJFMA welcomes papers addressing one or more of the following themes:

•Early and current screen practices;

•TV superseded equipments as material and cultural heritage;

•TV and media participatory turn;

•TV and transmedia industries;

•Old and resilient TV genres;

•Flow /versus/archive as a television challenge;

•Memory and the obsolete in online video collections;

•Social networks and other new challenges to public service broadcasting;

Contributions are encouraged from authors with different kinds of 
expertise and interests in media studies, television and media history.

Full paper submissions are due byApril 30th 2019.
