CALL FOR PAPERS

International Journal of Fim and Media Arts (IJFMA)

IJFMA is preparing a special issue titled ‘Flow and Archive’ dedicated 
to Television
and to its current challenges
The digital turn has allowed television to be reimagined after the networked
computers. Following the telephone and radio, the new paradigm inspiring the
future of television are the networked computers, their social networks 
and the
participatory visual culture established on the aftermath of the 
twentieth century
cultural industries. After the liveness and flow, definitional 
components of television,
we are currently offered with DVR-mediated television experiences and 
collections
of short videos which can be uploaded, viewed and shared by the viewer. By
becoming searchable and accessible online, television provides a similar
experience to the archives and to the video aggregators that entertain 
the new
generations of cellphone viewers. The discussion about the future of 
television not
only makes it worth thinking about its past, the cultural value of its 
equipments and
its most resilient genres, but is certainly an opportunity to analyse how TV
journalism is challenged by social networks, and how its public service 
can be
revalued.
IJFMA welcomes papers addressing one or more of the following themes:
Early and current screen practices;
TV superseded equipments as material and cultural heritage;
TV and media participatory turn;
TV and transmedia industries;
Old and resilient TV genres;
Flow versus archive as a television challenge;
Memory and the obsolete in online video collections;
Social networks and other new challenges to public service broadcasting;

Contributions are encouraged from authors with different kinds of 
expertise and
interests in media studies, television and media history.
Abstracts should have between 250-300 words and should be submitted until 15
April 2019

Full paper submissions are due by 15 May 2019
