[ecrea] Cinema&Cie International Film Studies Journal. "Beyond Cinema" Permanent call for essays

*
*Cinema&Cie - Beyond Cinema Permanent CfE*

Following the so-called “digital revolution”, dramatic transformations 
have affected the ways in which cinema is produced, consumed and 
perceived, to the extent that it seems to have gone “beyond” itself: 
beyond its very language and discourse; its traditional consumption 
practices and spaces; its position and function within the social (as 
well as the medial) sphere. As a consequence, during the last two 
decades, research in film studies has significantly widened its scope: 
the study of cinema has been re-articulated in several fields of inquiry 
and through a variety of methodological approaches and 
(inter)disciplinary perspectives, in an attempt to keep up with these 
most recent developments.

This section of /Cinéma&Cie /aims therefore to function as a permanent 
observatory of this “beyondness”. Specifically, it provides a space to 
re-discuss the thresholds of the cinematic medium, as well as the 
boundaries of traditional film studies, by addressing a variety of 
under-investigated contexts and objects through innovative and 
unconventional approaches and references. Beyond Cinema encourages 
proposals related to the following main frameworks:

*Cinema Beyond the Film Text.* Cinema in a transtextual perspective: 
intertextual, metatextual and hypertextual relations among films, and/or 
between films and other cultural products; practices of appropriation of 
pre-existing images (found-footage, archival footage, collage films, and 
so on).

*Cinema Beyond the Cinematic Medium*. Cinema in a transmedia 
perspective: remediations and intermedial practices; processes of 
translation, differentiation, assimilation, hybridization and mutual 
exchange with other media formations, on both the aesthetic and material 
level.

*Cinema Beyond the Movie Theatre*. Cinema in a translocational 
perspective: the relocation of cinema and new forms of circulation and 
consumption (from mobile phones to urban screens); musealization and 
exposition of cinema and films; non-institutional forms of filmmaking 
(amateur cinema and non-theatrical genres, such as the medical, 
industrial, touristic film, etc.).

*Cinema Beyond Film Studies*. Cinema in a transdisciplinary perspective: 
intersections between film studies and other disciplines, from both the 
humanities and hard sciences (cinema and philosophy, cinema and 
neuroscience, cinema and cultural studies, etc.); the role of cinema as 
a didactic tool and as an instrument of scientific inquiry.

We invite the submission of articles in English or French (max 
5,000-6,000 words), edited according to the journal’s style guidelines. 
Contributors are also asked to provide an abstract (300-500 words), 5

As a permanent call for essays of a biannual journal, /Beyond 
Cinema/ presents two fixed deadlines for submission every year, as follows:

Articles submitted by *March 31st *will be considered for publication in 
the Spring Issue.
Articles submitted by *October 30th* will be considered for 
publication in the Fall Issue.

month of submission. Once their article has been assessed for 
suitability by the section’s editors, it will then be peer-reviewed by 
anonymous, expert referees.
