CALL FOR TRANSLATIONS, 2023-2024

JCMS: Journal for Cinema and Media Studies publishes one translation of 
outstanding scholarly
and creative work on cinema and media studies. The 
Translation/Publication Standing Committee
of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies coordinates this annual Call 
for Translations, and
shepherds the selected submission into a completed manuscript for 
publication in an upcoming
volume of JCMS. The originals may be in any language and come from any 
period or geographic
region. We welcome two types of proposals: (1) a single text such as a 
journal article, book
chapter, or self-contained section of a book that focuses on a 
particular topic in a unified,
coherent way; and (2) a group of smaller texts that are linked 
thematically, geographically, or
otherwise.

The total word count of the introduction and translated text(s) should 
be between 8,000 and
10,000 words in English. One grant-in-aid of $1,000 total will be paid 
to the translator(s) for
copyright clearance and as honoraria. Proposals to translate one’s own 
work will not be
considered.

SCMS members are invited submit proposals, prepared in accordance with 
the Chicago Style
Manual, with the following:

1. Full bibliographical data of the original text(s).
2. The name and credentials of the translator(s).
3. A 500-word statement identifying the significance of the text(s) to 
be translated.
4. Information on the copyright status of the original(s).
5. A 500-word sample of the translation.

Proposals are due by September 15th, 2023. The selection will be made by 
November 31, 2023,
with manuscript delivery by January 31, 2024, and publication in 2025.
Submissions should be sent to:
Fabrizio Cilento, SCMS Translation/Publication Committee Chair 
((cilentofabrizio /at/ gmail.com))
