Guest Editors:  R. Colin Tait&  Justin Owen Rawlins

As television studies follows the ever-expanding implications of the ‘small screen,’ the
place of the performer in television increasingly demands critical attention. How does
performance impact—and how is it impacted by—the shifting landscape of television
technology, production, and exhibition? What is the performer’s agency (or authorship) in
television production? How does the scale of television (both in terms of varying screen
sizes and hours of content) intersect with acting? What are the implications of
performance across televisual genres and taste formations, in places like ‘quality’
dramas, situation comedies, and reality TV? We invite articles that explore the television
acting as practice, as business, and as discourse. We are especially interested in articles
that address the following:

•	Acting across varying television genres and taste formations, from ‘quality’
        programs to situation comedies and reality TV
•	Television performance within broadcast, cable, and online distribution and
        exhibition models
•	Acting as authorship, labor, agency within television production
•	Comparative studies of television and film performance, movement between
        television and film performance
•	Casting practices
•	Acting and identity/representation
•	Implications of television technology for performance
•	Historical and contemporary reception of television acting
•	Stardom, celebrity and television performance
•	Individual vs. Ensemble acting
