[Commlist] Call for book chapters on Venezuelan media

Subject: Call for book chapters

Over the past two decades, Venezuela has been undergoing a dynamic and 
traumatic political process, greatly influencing its economic, cultural, 
political and societal bases. During this time, media in the country 
have also played an important role, both in terms of serving as spaces 
where these transformations become concretized as well as articulating 
new subjectivities that have arisen amidst the complex process. Direct 
government involvements, whether through funding of creative endeavors 
or through the enactment of policies with bearing on the national 
mediascape, have been at the helm of the transformation of Venezuelan 
media and have introduced significant alterations which warrant 
scholarly attention.

By bringing together scholars of Venezuelan media located in and outside 
Venezuela, the collected volume aims to provide a transversal scholarly 
exploration of the multiple changes exhibited around Venezuelan media in 
the years subsequent to the 1990s as inaugurated by the Chávez regime. 
To do so, this collection brings together a body of original research 
that looks at the different processes entailed by Chavismo’s 
relationship with the media, extending their discussion beyond the 
boundaries of  the specific cases or examples and into the entire 
articulation of a nearly-perfect communicational hegemony.

We are interested in unpublished contributions, which shed light on the 
complex issues intersecting media production, regulation, consumption 
and distribution in Venezuela. This edited volume is under consideration 
by Routledge

Areas of interest might include but are not limited to:
* Digital & social media
* Popular communication
*Radio
*OTA and streaming services
*Media freedom and regulation
*Peer-to-peer networks
*Advertising
*Citizen journalism
*Alternative press
