[ecrea] CFP: Moving Image Review & Arts Journal: special issue on South Asia

CALL FOR PAPERS:
Moving Image Review & Arts Journal (7.2)
Special Issue: Transnationalism and South Asian Artists Moving Image.
Submission Deadline: 1 March 2017

Guest edited by Lucia King and Rashmi Sawhney

This special issue looks at film and video art practices from South
Asia in order to theorise the relationship between regional, global and
transnational moving image cultures. We invite articles that build upon
foundational work in South Asian moving image art and film histories as
well as transnational art practices and aesthetics. We welcome articles
that focus on the circuits of production, exhibition and authoring of
South Asian artists moving image in order to chart key theoretical
terrains of 'regional' practices in a global context. We solicit
articles from artists, critics and curators who work within and outside
South Asia, that highlight conceptual frameworks and offer insights on
the multi-layered relationships between ‘home and the world’, region
and identity, aesthetics and translatability, cultural specificities
and contexts of classification/consumption/circulation.

We invite articles that examine:

- Theories of film and video art outside of the 'national' framework
that are attentive to influences, collaborations and exchanges across
geographic and political regions.
- Regional exchanges and collaborations between artists and filmmakers
from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
- The relationship between region, identity and moving image practice
in South Asia.
- The aesthetic pre-cursors (in a pre-cinematic sense) that influence
contemporary moving image art in the region, including investigations
of artist(s)' methodologies.
- Experiments in film and video art that emphasise 'indigenous forms'.
- Transnational curatorial practices that work with and around the
regional/national framework.
- Historicising South Asian moving image art in the post-medium context.
- Spectatorship and post medium/ multi-media art in/from South Asia.
- South Asian artists' moving image engagement with science, political
activism, environmentalism, urbanism etc.
- South Asian artists' moving image hybridity with genres such as
experimental film, documentary, and digital media.
- Digital media and the exhibition and distribution of 'regional'
moving image art.

We publish the following types of writing: Scholarly articles
(5000-7000 words); opinion pieces, feature articles and interviews
(3000-5000 words); review essays of books, individual works,
exhibitions and events (3000-5000 words). Scholarly articles will be
blind peer-reviewed and feature articles and review essays can be

including online publications. We do not publish articles by artists
