[Commlist] CFP: International Journal of Creative Media Research Special Issue: Fiction Machines

*CFP: ** IJCMR: Fiction Machines *_Deadline  30 October 2019_

**

In this special issue of the IJCMR we will ask how fictional methods are 
being employed to rethink and renegotiate our relationship with current 
and future technologies; how such methods can be used from activist and 
political perspectives; how they can address and critique post-truth 
conditions; how they can reveal forgotten histories and non-human 
perspectives; and how they can be used to speculate on, and design, new 
futures and new sorts of machine.

This special issue of International Journal of Creative Media Research 
invites practice based researchers with an interest in *Fiction Machines 
*to submit works that locate themselves around one of the following 
thematic strands:

_Strands:_

·Activist fictions

·Speculative design fictions

·Non-human fictions

·Post-truth fictions

This special issue will be edited by *Charlie Tweed* (Bath Spa 
University), *Tony D Sampson* (UEL) and *Andy Weir* (Arts University

in July 2020. Please email 300-word abstracts to Email:
