[ecrea] La valle dell'eden / East of Eden - Journal of Cinema, Photography and Media

La valle dell'eden / East of Eden - Journal of Cinema, Photography and 
Media - New series launch

The new series of La Valle dell’Eden/East of Eden, with new boards and a 
new publishing company (Scalpendi, Milano), wants to keep the twice a 
year basis, but with a strong diversification between the two yearly 
issues. One issue will be miscellaneous, while the other will be 
monographic. La Valle dell’Eden always had a monographic vocation, but 
now we intend to reconfigure the way we devise our monographic issues, 
along the scheme illustrated below. Moreover, we intend to propose the 
miscellaneous issue as a way to achieve flexibility, opening La Valle 
dell’Eden/East of Eden – Journal of Cinema, Photography and Media to a 
wide range of researches and methodologies that could not find a place 
in monographic issues.

The miscellaneous issue will be interested in particular to the 
following topics:
Acting, stardom, celebrities.
Archives, restoration, memory.
Avant-garde, experimental films, videoart.
Fashion.
Gender, identity.
Graphic novel, game, web.
Narrative, writing, genres.
Industry, production, professions.
Intermediality.
Reception, critical discourse.
Screen, technologies, apparatus.
Series, broadcasting, formats.
Sound, music, audiovision.
Spectators, audience, consumption.
Style, modes of representation.
Visual culture, image aesthetic.

The monographic issue:
The structure of the monographic issue will radically reconceptualize 
our previous pattern, linked to a traditional “thematic” approach. Now, 
our journal will offer a comprehensive map of a field of research, on 
the one hand with essays that will illustrate the state of the art, both 
from a theoretical and historical perspective, and on the other hand 
with more specific essays, offering case studies and possible new 
approaches.

Referees
Every paper will be read at least by two non-blind referees, who will 
evaluate and discuss the article both with their authors and the 
editorial board. The referees will be either members of the advisory 
board, the editorial board or the editorial staff, or scholars not 
linked to the journal, both Italian and international. La Valle 
dell’Eden/East of Eden chooses a system of open review, in the 
perspective of a broad and agile discussion with contributors, in order 
to promote a non ritual and not too long review process, with a frank 
and productive dialogue between the authors and the journal.

Languages of publication
The journal will publish essays in three languages: English, French, 
Italian. All the essays will have an abstract in English.

Upcoming issues
The miscellaneous issue is scheduled for the first semester of 2017 
(proposal submission deadline: December 30, 2016, max. 200 words; full 
paper submission: February 28, 2017, max 4.000/5.000 words). Each paper 
must be linked to one of the above listed sections.

Proposals must be sent to: (eden /at/ unito.it) <mailto:(eden /at/ unito.it)>

Our first monographic issues, scheduled for the second semester of 2017, 
will be devoted to Game Studies and edited by Riccardo Fassone. A call 
for papers will be available shortly.
