Moving Image Review and Art Journal is currently accepting contributions 
for inclusion in Issue 13.2 (launching December 2024). The Editorial 
team is currently interested in receiving scholarly articles and opinion 
pieces (5000–8000 words), feature articles and interviews (3000–4000 
words) from art historians and critics, film and media scholars, 
curators and, not least, practitioners.

To be considered for inclusion, completed scholarly articles and 
proposals for opinion pieces, feature articles and interviews should be 
submitted by 1September 2024.Send all articles and proposals by e-mail 
in DOC or RTF format to the editorial assistants: (miraj /at/ cream.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(miraj /at/ cream.ac.uk)>

The editors seek pieces that offer theories of the present moment in the 
field of artist’s moving image but also writings that propose historical 
re-readings.

We welcome articles that:

  *

    re-view canonical works and texts, or identify ruptures in the
    standard histories of artists’ film and video;

  *

    discuss the development of media arts, including the history of
    imaging technologies, as a strand within the history of art;

  *

    address issues of the ontology and medium-specificity of film, video
    and new media, or the entanglement of the moving image in a
    ‘post-medium condition’;

  *

    attempt to account for the rise of projected and screen-based images
    in contemporary art, and the social, technological or
    political-economic effects of this proliferation;

  *

    investigate interconnections between moving images and still images,
    the role of sound, the televisual and the interaction of the moving
    image with other elements including technology, human presence and
    the installation environment;

  *

    analyse para-cinematic or extra-cinematic works to discover what
    these tell us about cinematic properties such as temporal
    progression or spectatorial immersion or mimetic representation;

  *

    explore issues of subjectivity and spectatorship;

  *

    investigate the spread of moving images beyond the classical spaces
    of the cinema and galleries, across multiple institutions, sites and
    delivery platforms;

  *

    consider the diverse uses of the moving image in art: from political
    activism to pure sensory and aesthetic pleasure, from reportage to
    documentary testimony, from performativity to social networking;

  *

    suggest new methods of theorizing and writing the moving image.

All articles submitted should be original work and must not be under 
consideration by other publications.

We welcome work that intersects with other academic disciplines and 
artistic practices. We encourage writing that is lucid without 
compromising intellectual rigour.

Scholarly articles will be blind peer-reviewed and feature articles and 
review essays can be peer-reviewed on request. All writings should 
propose a central idea or thesis argued through a discussion of the work 
under review.

Referencing should be in Harvard style and all text should adhere to the 
Intellect Style Guide 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/asset/1748/house-style-guide-6th-ed..pdf>.
