in collaboration with

JCMS: Journal of Cinema and Media Studies

CALL FOR TRANSLATIONS, 2024-2025

JCMS: Journal for Cinema and Media Studies annually publishes one 
translation of outstanding scholarly or creative work on cinema and 
media studies. The translation is selected by the SCMS 
Translation/Publication Standing Committee, which coordinates the annual 
Call for Translations.
The committee shepherds the selected submission into a completed 
manuscript for publication in an upcoming volume of JCMS. Original texts 
may be in any language and come from any period or geographic region.

The SCMS Translation/Publication Standing Committee welcomes 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, or (2) a group of smaller texts that are 
linked thematically, regionally, or otherwise. If published, the 
translation should be accompanied by an introduction contextualizing the 
translated text and its author within the field of film and media studies.

The total word count for the introduction and translated text(s) should 
be between 8,000 and 10,000 words in English, including citations and 
other notes. One grant-in-aid of $1,000 total will be awarded 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 to 
submit proposals, prepared in accordance with the Chicago Manual of 
Style, including:

1. Complete bibliographical data of the original text(s).
2. The name(s) and credentials of the translator(s).
3. A 500-word statement on the significance of the text(s) to be translated.
4. Information on the copyright status of the original(s). If the text 
is under copyright, written
confirmation of permission to translate the work for publication.
5. A 500-word sample of the translation.

Proposals are due by October 25, 2024. Selection will be made by 
November 31, 2024, with manuscript delivery expected by January 31, 2025 
for publication in 2026.

Submissions should be sent to:
Standing Committee Coordinator ((committees /at/ scmstudies.org)) and please 
Cc: Nicolas Poppe, SCMS Translation/Publication Committee Chair 
((npoppe /at/ middlebury.edu))
