A new year’s reminder that The Bulletin of Spanish Studies and its
sister journal the Bulletin of Spanish Visual Studies is embracing
innovative research through the medium of videographic criticism in a
special issue dedicated to video essays that investigate the visual
histories, cultures and civilisations of Spain, Portugal and Latin America.

This special edition is scheduled for publication in September 2026 and
will be co-edited by Professor Rob Stone, Professor Catherine Grant, and
Professor Vicente Rodríguez Ortega.

Guidelines for submission
The Bulletin of Spanish Visual Studies invites practitioners of
videographic criticism to submit work that (as video essays, audiovisual
essays, etc.) represents, examines and develops this innovative mode of
presenting film, television, screen, media, and moving image research in
the area of Spanish visual studies.
The Bulletin invites submissions of videographic criticism of a maximum
of 20 minutes with complementary written essays of 3,000-6,000 words.
These works of videographic criticism should advance an idea and/or
argument relating to Spanish visual studies in a way that prioritises
the medium and exploits its potential. The written component should
offer supporting descriptions of the context (theoretical, industrial,
cultural, etc.), articulate its research aims and provide reflections on
the purpose and process of the video work, but it should not take
precedence over the videographic criticism.
Contributors should submit by 31 January 2026:
•    Title of work.
•    Author’s name and affiliation.
•    Abstract of no more than 100 words.
•    4-8 keywords.
•    The full text document of 3,000-6,000 words formatted according to
journal’s guidelines.
•    A bibliography of works cited in the document and the video work.
•    Link or links to the works of videographic criticism of not more
than 20 minutes duration,
        which should be hosted on an established platform (e.g. Vimeo)
and be password protected.
•    The password for the link to the videographic work.

article in the Bulletin of Spanish Visual Studies is available here:
