OPEN CALL FOR VIDEO ESSAYS:

/Tecmerin: Journal of Audiovisual Essays/ has a special interest, 
although not exclusive, in Spanish and Latin American cultural 
production. Consequently, we invite scholars, researchers and creators 
to send pieces centered on the production, consumption, circulation and 
cultural exchange within these geographical areas.

CFP ISSUE 4: DOSSIER ON CENSORSHIP AND MEDIA (guest editor, Manuel Palacio).

In the last few years, there has been a generalized re-definition of the 
parameters that define freedom of speech in relation to previous 
decades. Increasingly, certain legislative, judicial and institutional 
decisions are reminiscent of forms of censorship that existed in the 
past. This tendency is clearly visible in countries with 
well-established democracies such as France or the United Kingdom but it 
is even more discernible in territories from Eastern Europe, Asia and 
America with less consolidated egalitarian regimes. In Tecmerin: Journal 
of Audiovisual Media, we are interested in reflecting upon the lessening 
of freedom of speech within audiovisual media and the Internet. We are 
proposing the following areas of analysis, although we also invite 
contributors to approach other, related, issues:

  * Film censorship and controversies in the public sphere.
  * Censorship and damage.
  * The protection of specific audience groups.
  * Censorship and gender.
  * The representation of the censor in cinema and television.
  * Dubbing and censorship.
  * Double or multiple versions of films or television series.
  * Censorship in film history.
  * Censorship in television history.

*Instructions for authors:*

Researchers and creators may send their videos to one of the following 
essays sections:

*1. Video-Essays:* audiovisual essays that offer a critical take on 
diverse aspects of cinema, television and popular culture.

*2. Creators:* experimental or documentary pieces that approach a 
specific cultural topic.

Video-Essays must be uploaded on *VIMEO, as private*. Each author will 
send the following information to this email *(tecmerinrevista /at/ uc3m.es) 
<mailto:(tecmerinrevista /at/ uc3m.es)>*:

  * Vimeo url address.
  * Password for video.
  * 400-600 word text, presenting the video in pdf format.

*Deadline "Open Call" and “Censorship and Media” dossier for issue 4, 
February 15th, 2020. *

*Videos cannot contain the name of the author to facilitate the blind 
peer review.*

Language: Video essays can be in any language with Spanish or/and 
English subtitles.

Length: the preferred length of the video essays is 10 minutes 
approximately.

The presentation text must be in Spanish or English. If the video is 
accepted, we recommend authors to include the presentation text and 
subtitles both in Spanish and English in order to increase the 
visibility of their pieces.
