Greetings and apologies for cross-posting,

The 2017 call for papers, 'Language, Form and Emotion', for The Dovetail 
Journal, a new peer-reviewed cross-disciplinary Creative Arts, Media and 
Literature journal from Bangor University, Wales, UK, is now open and 
accepting submissions until December 31st 2016.
The 2017 issue is aimed at academic staff members who are responsible 
for teaching any of the following areas: film, music, games, new media, 
screenwriting, drama, prose, English literature, poetry, new writing, 
drama and performance, animation, and television etc., thank you.
Submissions may consist of critical papers, creative practice 
submissions, or hybrid creative practice and critical combinations.

Postgraduates and postgraduate researchers are also welcome to submit 
papers and/ or creative practice work. See the call for papers in the 
poster and link below.

We are excited to announce that the 2017 issue will be co-curated by a 
cutting edge multi-disciplinary team of creative and critical practice 
PhD researchers from RMIT Australia and Bangor University, Wales.

Aesthetics, style considerations, genre conventions, animal and human 
relations, and human interactions with technology, are just some of the 
many possible areas of research that could pertain to Language, Form and 
Emotion. Please spread the word to other postgraduates, postgraduate 
alumni and academic staff
 as we would love to discover how form, emotion and language is 
understood, treated, or functions within your area of expertise and how 
this interlinks with either media, literature, creative art specialisms, 
or the performance based industries, thank you.

Alison Metoudi (General Editor)

The 2017 call for papers from The Dovetail Journal, Bangor University's 
Arts and Humanities cross­ disciplinary critical and creative practice, 
peer-reviewed journal, is now open to submissions on the topic of 
Language, Form and Emotion. Submissions are welcome in particular from 
holders of a PhD, academic staff members, and post-doctoral researchers 
. Current and previous post-graduates may also submit material. All 
submissions undergo a blind peer-review  process.

What is known as language can differ between region and country, and 
where language is defined, even this can change over place and time. The 
distinctive Cyrillic script, Chinese characters, Arabic, Hebrew, Latin 
and even Welsh systems of language differ in form, as do other 
variations and systems such as Braille, Sign Language and vocal forms 
without written records. Language in the wider sense can therefore  be 
understood to refer to any system of verbal,visual, audio, or written 
communication. Each area within the Arts has its own language and forms 
of expression. In general, the language of the visual arts is aesthetic, 
pertaining to pattern, shape, line, colour and perspective . The 
language of music is emotive and expressed through timbre, rhythm, and 
pitch. The language of film grammar is that of the edit, the frame, 
duration, patterns of light, and camera movement. The language of dance 
is delineated through choreography and the expressivity of the body. A 
consideration of language across the Arts, is to contemplate different 
methods of expression, forms, structures and their meaning. An 
examination of language and emotion entails closer appraisal of  more 
stylised methods of expression and language, such as questions of 
representation, genre and form; the specificity  of social, conceptual 
or  historical contexts within the narrative; and  the
subjectivity of experience  or emotional perspectives that  combine to 
create contingent meaning.

Creative practice submissions are welcome across the Arts such as video 
games, films, animations, music, visual art, photography,fine art, 
graphic novels, drama, theatre, television and/ or screenwriting, prose, 
poetry, and literature. Critical practice submissions are welcome in all 
of the previously mentioned categories. Hybrid submissions that combine 
creative and critical practice in one area are welcome. Submissions are 
welcome on any subject within the specified areas of literature, 
creative arts and/ or media, where the theme of 'Language, Emotion and 
Form' pertains to either creative, critical or else hybrid combinations 
of research and developments in:

New writing, New Media, Fact and Fiction, Experimental Forms, Narrative, 
Adaptation, Performance, Culture and Aesthetics, and Gender and Politics.

Generally, written submissions should be no longer than six thousand 
words and must adhere to the MHRA style guide.
