[Commlist] CFP: “Cognition, Stigma, and Inclusivity,” a Special Issue of Projections: The Journal for Movies and Mind

*Call for Papers: “Cognition, Stigma, and Inclusivity,” a Special Issue 
of /Projections: The Journal for Movies and Mind/*

*Eds. Wyatt Moss-Wellington, Margrethe Bruun Vaage, and Catalin Brylla*

*Deadline for abstract submissions*: 15 November 2022

Film, television, and screen media can influence the ways in which we 
think about others, whether through individual viewings, long-term 
engagements across a variety of narratives, or social experiences we 
have around media. All of these experiences have been the subject of 
study across disciplines – and often significant debate between 
disciplines – converging around the potential for media to inspire 
changes in thinking about others, the nature of that thought, and 
whether those changes are fleeting or life-changing. It is clear, 
however, that other-directed cognitions inspired by media matter to 
social justice issues; our thoughts about race, class, and gender, for 
instance, are in some way informed by media.

This special issue of /Projections: The Journal for Movies and Mind 
/will bring together approaches from various disciplines addressing the 
ways in which visual media can foster both stigmatizing and inclusive 
modes of thinking. We are seeking contributions regarding cognition both 
during and after media engagement across social issues, including but 
not limited to considerations of race, gender, sexuality, disability, 
and class in a diversity of visual media, such as film, television, 
games, and digital media. Submissions may use methods and draw on 
evidence from across media psychology and social sciences, humanities 
and philosophic approaches. We also invite submissions working at 
intersections of cognitive and cultural studies, emotions and politics, 
or novel approaches to cognitive screen theory addressed to issues in 
media and social justice, so long as they focus on how the mind 
experiences, understands, and interprets audiovisual and narrative media 
structures, in line with the aims and scope of the journal 
<https://www.berghahnjournals.com/view/journals/projections/projections-overview.xml?tab_body=about>.

The issue will comprise contributions from Meghan Sanders and Edward 
Schiappa, as well as high-quality submissions from the CFP. Invited 
articles of between 6,000-8,000 words will be due in August 2023, and 
will be subject to full, double-blind peer review. The /Projections 
/Aims & Scope can be found here

and a Style Guide can be found here
