[Commlist] Call for book proposals: Disability, Media, Culture

Peter Lang Oxford is pleased to announce the launch of the new book series

*/Disability, Media, Culture <https://www.peterlang.com/view/serial/DMC>/*

*//*

*Series Editors:*

*Dr Alison Wilde and *

*Dr Murray Simpson (University of Dundee)*

Globally today, television, film and the internet comprise the principal 
sources of cultural consumption and engagement. Despite this, these 
areas have not featured strongly in the cultural study of disability. 
This book series will provide the first specific outlet for 
international scholars of disability to present their work on these topics.

The series will build a body of work that brings together critical 
analysis of disability and impairments in media and culture. The series 
expands the work currently undertaken in literary studies on disability 
by using media and cultural theory to understand the place of disability 
and impairment in a range of media and cultural forms.

The series encourages the development of work on disabled people in the 
media, within the media industries and in the wider cultural sphere. 
Whilst film and television analysis will be central to this series, we 
also encourage work on disability in other media, including journalism, 
radio, the internet and gaming.

We welcome proposals from media studies: narrative constructions of 
disability; technical aspects of media production; disability, the 
economy and society; the impact of social media and gaming on disabled 
identities; and the role of architecture and image. Cultural studies are 
also encouraged: the uses of disabled and chronically ill bodies, 
‘cripping culture’, corporeal projections in culture, intersectional 
identities, advertising, and the uses of cultural theory in furthering 
understandings of ableism and disablism.

All proposals and manuscripts will be rigorously peer reviewed. The 
language of publication is English, although we welcome submissions from 
around the world and on topics that may take as their focus non-English 
media. We welcome new proposals for monographs and edited collections.

*Editorial Board:* Eleoma Bodammer (Edinburgh), Catalin Brylla 
(Bournemouth), Colin Cameron (Northumbria), Sally Chivers (Trent, 
Canada), Eduard Cuelenaere (Ghent), Beth Haller (Towson, USA), Catherine 
Long, Nicole Marcotić (Windsor), Maria Tsakiri (Cyprus), Dolly Sen, 
Sonali Shah (Birmingham), Alison Sheldon (Leeds), Angela M. Smith 
(Utah), Heike Steinhoff (Ruhr-University Bochum), Laura Waite (Liverpool 
Hope).
