Call for papers BRAZILIAN JOURNALISM RESEARCH v.11, n.1

Thematic Issue: Contemporary Journalistic Narratives

The act of narration is accompanying us since the dawn of civilisation and is one of the main actions in the process of trying to make sense of the world and turn chaos into cosmos. Creation myths, heroic epics, historical deeds were narrated in order to give meaning and guide the lifes of individuals, confer identity to people, organise their societies and construct a collective memory, as well as establish nexus about many points of the world as experienced by them. With the rise of the press, narratives also became part of the journalistic praxis, be it in its own genres, e.g. the sketch or reportage, or in other enunciative sites.

In the contemporary world, the art of the narrative is practiced in several levels in the press and broadcasting media, as well as in digital environments – such as portals, websites, blogs and social media of the most diverse natures –, mixing several different media, sometimes repeating itself over and over, sometimes overcoming its and their boundaries. In the Journalism Studies field, the discussion on narrative are present in several domains that aim to reflect on the narrative construction and its relations to historical, sociological, aesthetic, discursive, ideological, economic and psychological aspects, among others.

Wishing to systematise discussions and concepts on Journalistic Narratives, Brazilian Journalism Research is open until February 28th 2015 for submissions to its thematic issue on Contemporary Journalistic Narratives (v.11, n.1 jan./jun. 2015). The issue will cover manuscripts that focus on the narrative and journalism issue through many possible approaches, which may include (however are not limited to): - Journalistic Narratives as an environment for representations and mediations;
- Journalistic Narratives and their relation to journalistic praxis;
- Epistemological aspects of studies on Journalistic Narratives;
- Methodological issues of the field, including discussions on methods such as Life History, Oral History and Family History etc, as well as techniques such as In-Depth Interviews;
- Journalistic Narratives and the subject;
- Intersections of journalism and other fields of knowledge in the production of journalistic narratives;
- Narrative as an aesthetic and discursive strategy in journalism;
- Panoramic or individual analyses of relevant authors or narrative genres (biography, profile, travel writing, essay etc); - Journalistic narrativity in specific segments: politics, science, sports etc; - Journalistic Narratives and the construction of gender, ethnicity, sexuality etc;
- Journalistic Narratives and the new media.
