[Commlist] Fiction Machines cfp

      Reminder to those working on a submission for this cfp, the
      deadline is looming.


      'Fiction Machines'

Guest Editors: Charlie Tweed (Bath Spa University), Tony David Sampson 
(UEL) and Andy Weir (Arts University Bournemouth)

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 invites practice-based researchers with an 
interest in Fiction Machines to submit works that locate themselves 
around one of the following thematic strands:

  *

    Activist fictions

  *

    Speculative design fictions

  *

    Non-human fictions

  *

    Post-truth fictions

The deadline for submissions is 30 October 2019 for publication in July
