CFP: Red Feather Journal, an online, international,
interdisciplinary journal of children’s media culture (www.redfeatherjournal.org) 
 
Red Feather Journal facilitates an international dialogue among
scholars and professionals through vigorous discussion 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,
