“SERIES. International Journal of TV Serial Narratives” 
(https://series.unibo.it) is an open access and peer-reviewed journal, 
with ISSN and indexed in major international databases. It publishes 2 
issues per year, and is mainly devoted to television seriality. It is a 
joint project by Universitat Politècnica de València (Escola Politècnica 
Superior de Gandia/DCADHA) and Università di Bologna.

We are pleased to invite submissions for the eleventh issue of the 
journal (Vol 6 No 1), which will be out in *June 2020*. The main focus 
of the journal is to promote a global discussion forum and an 
interdisciplinary exchange among scholars engaged in research into TV 
serial narratives. We encourage methodological innovations and 
contributions concerning the narrative, technological, economic, social 
and cultural impact of television dramas and comedies, webseries, 
telenovelas and other serial forms.

SERIES encourages submissions that cover a large variety of topics, 
including:

- theoretical and methodological explorations on the nature and value of 
television seriality;

- taxonomies and analysis of specific formats, styles, linguistic 
features, genres;

- cognitive perspectives on narrative structures, characters, viewer 
engagement;

- investigations of creative, production, distribution and marketing issues;

- empirical research on audiences, fandoms, digital communities;

- social network analysis, big data analysis, and other possible 
frameworks and models;

- comparative studies on a transnational and/or transmedial basis;

- investigations of stylistic elements, temporality, narrative and 
character design;

- historical approaches to seriality across different media;

- peculiar case histories (authors, subgenres, countries, production 
companies, etc.).

Articles should range between 5,000-8,000 words (including abstract, 
notes and references). Full guidelines can be found on our website. In 
order to be included in the issue, full manuscripts must be sent by 
*January 31st, 2020*. Expected publication date: *June 2020*.
