[Commlist] CfP: Oceans, Seas and Shorelines in Film (under contract with Routledge)

We would like to invite humanities and social science scholars to 
contribute to our edited volume, ‘Oceans Seas and Shorelines in Film’, 
to be published in 2024/25 by Routledge in the Oceans Seas and 
Shorelines: a natural and cultural environmental history series.

Film is the most influential of all of the cultural media, combining 
powerful audio and visual formulas to recreate the world for the purpose 
of telling a story. It implicitly and explicitly conveys important 
aspects of real and imagined social change and exchange within a variety 
of environmental contexts, but the role of the environment and the 
impact of human agency on the environment has rarely been a focus of 
critical enquiry. This pioneering volume of essays seeks to contribute 
to our understanding of how the filmic medium has represented oceans, 
seas and shorelines, from the early twentieth century to the present, to 
shape perception of and behaviour towards these environments. We are 
open to a variety of approaches to the subject but wish to stress the 
relationship between the natural and cultural environments as a 
contribution to current environmental debate.
By 15 December 2023, please submit an abstract of 400 words max and a 
brief bio to the editors Dr Hsin Hsieh ((h.hsieh2 /at/ reading.ac.uk)) and Prof 
Vivienne Westbrook ((viv.westbrook /at/ uwa.edu.au)). Full-length articles of 
6000 to 8000 words will be due on 31 August 2024.
 Kind regards,
Hsin
