CFP: Call for submissions to the premier issue of Red Feather
Journal, an online, international, interdisciplinary journal of children’s
media culture. The first issue will be published February 1, 2010.
 
Red Feather Journal facilitates an international dialogue among
scholars and professionals of the intersections
between the child image and the conception of childhood, children’s material
culture, children and politics, the child body, and any other conceptions of
the child within local, national, and global contexts. The journal invites
critical and/or theoretical examination of the child image to further our
understanding of the consumption, circulation, and representation of the child
throughout the world’s visual mediums. The journal welcomes submissions that
examine a broad range of medias: children’s film, Hollywood film, international
film, Television, the Internet, print resources, art, or any other visual
medium.  Some sample topics include, but
are certainly not limited to:  studies of
images of children of color; child as commodity; images of children in Africa,
Asia, Middle East, South America, etc.; political uses of the child image;
children in film; children in advertising; visual adaptations of children’s
literary works; child welfare images; children and war; or any other critical
examination of the child image in a variety of visual mediums.  
 
Red Feather Journal is published twice a year, in February and
September, and adheres to the MLA citation system. Authors are welcome to
submit articles in other citations systems, with the understanding that, upon
acceptance, conversion to MLA is a condition of publication.
 
Interested contributor’s please submit the paper, an abstract,
and a brief  biography as attachments in
