[ecrea] Baltic Screen Media Review - new issue and CFP
Tue Dec 08 21:02:02 GMT 2015
The 2015 issue of Baltic Screen Media Review (BSMR) is published. See
the ToC below. The journal can be now accessed on De Gruyter Open
platform (as an open access journal free to both authors and readers) -
http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/bsmr.2015.3.issue-1/issue-files/bsmr.2015.3.issue-1.xml
The deadline for papers to be considered for 2016 issue is March 15.Â
CFP: Although we continue accepting articles on a variety of topics
within BSMRâs thematic scope the 2016 issue will have a specific theme
section - âAudiovisual media for neighbouring countries and ethnic
minorities in the Baltic Sea Regionâ.Â
The theme section is motivated by the current intensification of such
media production in the region. On the one hand there is an increase in
Russian state produced media content being targeted at Russian language
minorities in the countries around the Baltic Sea. On the other hand
these countries themselves have launched new initiatives to service
their own ethnic minorities as well as the minorities in their
neighbouring countries. New content/channels/platforms are developed for
targeting, for instance audiences in Russia, while Nordic countries are
sponsoring Russian language content provision in several âborder
statesâ of Europe (including the three Baltic countries). Majority of
these initiatives are motivated by contemporary complex geopolitics and
security considerations, but also commercial implications have a role -
media institutions looking for new niche audiences in their home
countries and in near abroad. Furthermore, emergent are also the
phenomena of participatory media production across borders, especially
by various diaspora formations. Especially the latter aspects make the
phenomenon of intensifying transborder media flows not only contained in
the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea, but also in other countries in the
region. We therefore invite articles that identify and critically
disucss these complex media flows regarding different kinds of media
(linear and non-linear, videogames, etc.), different kinds of producers,
audiences and potential effects. We are interested in a wide discplinary
scope and therefore invite articles building on cultural and media
studies, sociology, political science, international relations, etc.
Articles could touch upon production aspects, audience receptiton as
well as focus on close readings of relevant media texts. The
non-exhaustive list of sub-themes:
- Russian âpropagandaâ aimed at Baltic Sea Region (BSR)
- Baltic initiatives targeting Russian language media audiences
- Nordic media targeting Baltic audiences
- BSR countries providing media content for their diaspora in
neighbouring countries
- Ethnic minorities in regional TV drama and film (fiction and
documentaries)
- Videogames as regional âpropagandaâ tool
- Transborder transmedia - multiplatform efforts to connect to ethnic
audiences across national borders in the region
- Regional regulation of transborder television and/or film distribution
- Audience reception of transborder media provision in the BSR
- Management challenges of transborder media provision for ethnic minorities
