[Commlist] New Issue of Cinéma & Cie. Film and Media Studies Journal published

We are pleased to announce the publication of Issue 46 (2026) of /Cinéma 
& Cie. Film and Media Studies Journal/. /Reimagining Access: Crip Media 
Aesthetics and Infrastructures/, edited by Domenico Napolitano, Annalisa 
Pellino, and Pooja Rangan, is now freely accessible at 
https://riviste.unimi.it/index.php/cinemaetcie/issue/view/2873 
<https://riviste.unimi.it/index.php/cinemaetcie/issue/view/2873>

This special issue rethinks media access not as a merely technical 
requirement, but as an aesthetic and political practice, shifting 
attention from disability representation to the ways media shape bodies, 
temporalities and relations. Drawing on disability studies and crip 
aesthetics, it questions techno-solutionist models and forms of 
accessibility that may reproduce control, exclusion, or surveillance. 
Its contributions explore film, documentary, animation, smart domestic 
media, and artistic practice through the material and cultural 
conditions of participation. Particular attention is paid to 
infrastructures of care, media literacy, and collective practices that 
enable more inclusive media experiences.
