CALL FOR PAPERS: Animation - An Interdisciplinary Journal

We are now seeking articles for early issues of Animation, a new journal from 
Sage. Please contact the editors listed below for full submission details.


Overview:

Especially since the digital shift, animation is increasingly pervasive and 
implemented in many ways in many disciplines. Animation: An Interdisciplinary 
Journal will provide the first cohesive international refereed publishing 
platform for animation that unites contributions from a wide range of research 
agendas and creative practice.

The scope of the journal is comprehensive, yet its focus is clear and simple. 
The journal addresses all animation made using all known (and yet to be 
developed) techniques -- from C16th optical devices to contemporary digital 
media -- revealing its implications on other forms of time-based media 
expression past, present and future. Special features will include new theories 
and methodologies, radical contemporary practice, microanalyses of individual 
films, archive news, teaching, learning and research resources and industrial 
innovations foregrounding specific disciplines and their interrelations with 
others.

Animation: An Interdisciplinary Journal will be a dynamic forum for promoting 
exchange between a multitude of disciplines and will facilitate a much-needed 
academic dialogue for the interdisciplinary nature of animation studies. It will 
be essential and stimulating reading for academics, researchers, students, 
curators and practitioners in animation, film and media studies, cultural 
studies, critical theory, architecture, art & design, computer sciences, games 
studies and visual culture. The journal is keen to encourage both established 
and emerging scholars.
