Dear Screen-L Participants:


Lisa Perrott, Holly Rogers, and I are excited to announce our series with
Bloomsbury - New Approaches to Sound, Music, and Media. We're delighted to
consider submissions for collected volumes and/or manuscripts. Here's our
call:


Bloomsbury’s New Approaches to Sound, Music, and Media is a series of
research monographs dedicated to changing our understandings of sound,
image, and their relations across media. Today’s media are shaped by
digital technologies, new modes of production and consumption, varied
platforms, genre blendings, and globalized economic networks. These media
demand new theoretical and aesthetic responses. This series seeks
surprising, interdisciplinary work that explores the intersections between
popular, mainstream, avant-garde, classical and post-classical forms of
audiovisual media. Approaches from the disciplines of dance, neuroscience,
and philosophy, to name but a few, are welcome. Underexamined historical
topics and non-western socioeconomic and technological contexts may help us
understand our present moment, and we encourage these proposals as well.


Possible topics include approaches to practice (authorial and collaborative
innovations, intermedia, transmedia and remediation); interdisciplinary
explorations of new forms, genres and aesthetics; and historical and
contextual studies of artists, composers, and performers. Fast-breaking
topics, like music and big data, augmented reality, the cyborg, and AI are
also encouraged. We hope our commitments to innovative historical,
contemporary, and future-oriented work will encourage greater
responsiveness to our present moment.
