*Chapter proposals are invited for a book on Media and Familicide, 
Femicide and Filicide*

Familicide, or family annihilation, is a growing phenomenon, overlapping 
with the killing or homicide of children (and intimate partner homicide, 
often that of the woman (femicide), and the suicide of the man.

However, not all femicides are linked to familicide. Femicides, 
gender-related killings, are the most extreme form of violence against 
women and girls. Femicides are frequently linked to earlier instances of 
violence in the home, i.e., Domestic Partner Violence or Intimate 
Partner Violence.

Filicide, the killing of children, often is perpetrated by women/mothers 
but sometimes is part of familicides where a man/husband/father kills 
his wife and family and then kills himself.

Chapters for the proposed book should examine how the media (print and 
digital newspapers, magazines, movies, TV, radio, social media, games, 
other) portray familicide, femicide and filicide either through either 
qualitative or quantitative studies. Case studies, theoretical and 
empirical studies may be conducted; critical/cultural, historical, 
ethnographic, legal, mixed and other methodologies may be employed. 
Chapters should focus on ONE of the three “’cides,” or on the overlap of 
familicide and femicide but NOT on all three of them.

Please send chapter proposal outlines (no more than 500 words, 12 pt. 
type, Times New Roman font, double spaced) as a Word attachment to Maria 
Marron, editor, at (mmarron2 /at/ unl.edu) <mailto:(mmarron2 /at/ unl.edu)>, no later 
than 5 p.m., Monday, March 31, 2025. Proposal acceptances will be 
announced no later than mid-May 2025. Completed chapters will be due 
Friday, Sept. 5, 2025. Questions may be sent to (mmarron2 /at/ unl.edu).
