[ecrea] Feminist Review Media issue CFP

> Special Issue of Feminist Review ­ ?Media transformations?
> Call for papers
>
> Boundaries between production and consumption, 
> and between previously discrete media
> practices are dissolving. This special issue of 
> Feminist Review will analyse how rapid shifts in
> contemporary media processes and practices are 
> impacting on women?s engagement with
> communications and production as well as the 
> representation of marginalized groups.
> Current developments such as Web 2.0, 
> networking, online distribution and mobile media
> will be explored in the context of gendered 
> histories of media production and reception.
>
> The intention is to look at change and 
> continuity in the uses, practices, aesthetics and
> theorization of the media in the light of the 
> growth of new pervasive technologies. We are
> hoping that the issue will explore the following 
> questions: How do new media technologies
> affect gendered authorship and agency?  How does 
> age and generation intersect with gender
> with respect to the uses of 'old' and 'new' 
> media? What cultural and historical variations are
> there in terms of the meanings and impact of 
> media and communications technologies?
>
> Illustrated, reflective pieces by digital media 
> practitioners are welcome and samples of work
> discussed may be uploaded to the Feminist Review website.
>
> Possible topics might include:
>
> ?alternative? media and feminist activism; 
> networked cultures; gender, life histories and
> blogs; gender and authorship; women?s cinema; 
> questions of distribution; media
> employment; ?post-convergence?; ethics and 
> representation; media processes; gender and
> media education
>
> Submissions for the issue are welcomed from now 
> until 30 March 2010. Articles should be
> between 6,000-7,000 words in length. An abstract 
> of 200-300 words should accompany the
