[ecrea] CFP: Women and Screen Media in the Twenty-First Century

The editors of Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media seek 
articles for its already in-progress tenth issue, to be published online 
in January 2016.

This special issue of Alphaville will focus on the theme of “Women and 
Screen Media in the Twenty-First Century”.

The aim of this issue is to evaluate and celebrate the importance of 
women’s contributions to screen media, to examine the ways in which 
women have been represented on screen, and to assess the continuing 
gender imbalance and under-representation of women in screen media since 
the beginning of the new millennium. In turn, we seek to address two 
broad questions: how have women shaped screen media and how have women 
been shaped by/represented in screen media in the last fifteen years?

The issue editors, Abigail Keating and Jill Murphy, welcome innovative 
articles, informed by a variety of perspectives, on all forms of screen 
media – film, television and online media. Topics may include but are 
not limited to:

- Contemporary female filmmakers
- Women in television
- Female technologists
- Representations of women on screen
- Women and world cinema
- Female sexualities and queerness on screen
- Gender identities on screen
- Feminism and screen media
- “Postfeminism” and screen media
- Cinema and the Bechdel Test
- Women and social media
- Online activism, awareness, and #EverydaySexism
- Pop culture, music videos and female representation
- Women and intermediality
- Female video artists
- Female stardom
- Feminist film/media theory in/of the twenty-first century
