[Commlist] CfP Audiovisual Media and Processes in Algorithmic Techno-culture Special Issue

Fronteiras Journal, a Brazilian open access journal from Unisinos 
University, invites submissions to our special issue "*Audiovisual Media 
and Processes in Algorithmic Techno-culture: images in dispersion and 
convergence".*

Between deep-fakes and the hyper-realism of videogames, from the 
“streaming wars” to the piracy of recent Oscar-nominated films, 
audiovisual media processes demand attention beyond approaches to their 
“new technologies”, without losing the prospect of asking about the 
specificities of the phenomena inserted in an apparent irrevocable 
presence of the software. Contemporary audiovisual media move through 
processes of dispersion and convergence that are increasingly challenged 
by an algorithmic (in)visibility which produces its own techno-cultural 
ambience: recycling languages, formats, and techniques, moving and 
transmuting through several devices and softwares, collapsing 
temporalities. Thus this call solicits contributions to the 
understanding of both cultural ambience and techno-aesthetic changes 
that affect audiovisual regimes and lead to the forgetting and / or 
retrieving of media and machines in contemporary audiovisuals - whether 
in cinema, TV, games, photos, social networks, or videos.


In this perspective, this special call is interested in a range of 
topics, including but not limited to
- images and image distribution
- audiovisual deepfakes
- memory of / in the media
- games as audiovisual products
- audiovisual processes and streaming platforms
- screens, surfaces, interfaces
- archeologies and / or genealogies of technocultural phenomena
- leaks, circulations, and interdictions of images

- media-art, imaginary media, hacking culture

*Deadline: May 31, 2020*

Articles must be between 5000 and 8000 words in English or Portuguese 
and must be submitted by the journal's website:
