[Commlist] CFP Mobilities on Screen

Call for Edited Collection: Mobilities on Screen (Routledge)

Editor:Dr Ruxandra Trandafoiu (Edge Hill University)

This edited collection aims to capture the way human mobility is 
represented on screen (any type of screen: cinema, television, museum or 
public displays, tourist information, urban advertising, mobile devices 
etc). The project is based on the premise that human mobility is a major 
defining aspect of contemporary life, that mobility has become the 
paradigm of being and creating in the world, one that affects not just 
the creative industries and traditional media content and consumption, 
but also everyday life and banal practices and engagements with screen 
media.

For the purpose of this collection mobility is conceptualized asboth 
movement and connection/disconnection. Mobility would refer in this 
instance to the liquidity of contemporary life, migration, media 
spreadability, communication growth, transmediality, networking, 
activism, cosmopolitanism, travel and tourism etc. Papers that apply or 
provide a theoretical update of globalization, post-colonialism, 
cosmopolitanism, tourism, place-making, network theory, transmedia 
production and consumption, prosumer theory, and diasporization, are 
particularly welcome. Equally, innovative methods of capturing 
mobilities on screen are invited. We expect authors to provide 
contemporary screen media examples which represent human mobility, but 
also illuminate creative industry contexts and practices, as well as 
inform our understanding of prosumer and fandom performance. In 
particular, the contributions should make it clear how the case study 
captures various expressions of change, transition, in-betweenness, 
liquidity, travel, fragmentation,remaking and connecting.Case studies 
are not limited to any geographical region.

Routledge has expressed a strong interest in publishing this collection.
