*CFP Animation and Seriality*, September theme

(NEW Deadline: *_September 8th, 2017_*)

Animation maintains a close, multifaceted and long-lasting relationship 
with the notion of seriality. Indeed, there is a long history of using 
serial formats to develop animated works. Yet, in the last years we have 
also witnessed a growing tendency to serialize the narrative of a 
successful animated feature by creating sequels, prequels and midquels 
of it. /Cars 3/ (2017, by Brian Fee), /Despicable Me 3/ (2017, by Pierre 
Coffin) and /The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature/ (2017, by Callan Brunker) 
are only the most recent examples of this trend of building on existing 
animated franchises in a similar manner to what has long been occurring 
in the live-action realm. For the month of September, we thus invite 
posts addressing this phenomenon form any angle as well as, more 
generally, posts exploring the relationship between animation and 
seriality from a critical, theoretical or historical perspective.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

– The serialization of animated features: prequels, midquels and/or sequels;
– The animated televisual series;
– The animated web series;
– Animation, seriality and the big screen;
– Non-fiction animation and seriality;
– Seriality and animated aesthetics;
– Representational issues in animated serializations (e.g. the aging of 
characters, the development of their personality, etc.);
– Temporality and the animated series;
– Seriality, animation and narrative structures;
– Producing serialized animations: advantages and issues;
– Historical perspectives on seriality and animation;
– Seriality, animation and reception studies.

Posts of between 600 and 800 words, which discuss any aspect of the 
above topic are welcome. Contributors are encouraged to include clips 
and at least one image to support their posts. Please also include a 
short bio to accompany the post and 3 keywords. All permissions are the 
responsibility of the contributor. Please contact the editors Nichola 
Dobson ((nichola_dobson /at/ yahoo.co.uk)), Cristina Formenti 
((cristina.formenti /at/ unimi.it)) and (blog /at/ animationstudies.org) with 
submissions or questions.
