[Commlist] Call for Contributions: 21st Century Animation

Call for Contributions

As part of the CILECT 21C Books Project, the Executive Council is 
seeking contributions to the volume: 21st Century Animation: Innovation, 
Aesthetics, Approaches.

In a world of unprecedented digital literacy, in which Animation 
increasingly finds expression through multifarious and hybridised forms, 
and across various sectors including entertainment, education, science, 
health, politics, etc, it is timely to examine the techniques, 
aesthetics, narratives and approaches of its contemporary practice. A 
medium that encompasses the eccentricities of the auteur alongside the 
broad appeal of the mainstream industry, Animation lends itself to 
critical analyses of its meanings, contexts and modes.

Contributions are sought by way of traditional articles, interviews and 
case studies, according to, but limited by, the following broad 
considerations; various critical lens might be brought to bear on any of 
these topics, while innovation and diversity is key throughout:

• Going beyond the auteur: approaches to analysis
• Adaptation in animation
• Animation and aesthetics: form, sound, visual, hybridity
• Animation and innovation: use cases, production and distribution
• Global practitioner perspectives: interviews with innovative animators 
from around the world, with a focus on underrepresented countries.

Please, send a 250-word abstract (excluding bibliography) with a title, 
a 100- word bio, and a short CV and contact info (for each 
author/co-author) to (cilectanimationbook /at/ gmail.com)

Abstracts will be accepted in English, French, and Spanish, but the 
final texts should be submitted in English. If you need support in this 
regard, please do not hesitate to contact us or mention it when sending 
your abstract.

Please let us know if you would like to include illustrations. 
Photographs, graphics and illustrations will be included in the book.
