Dear Colleague,
 
Berghahn is pleased to announce the launch of an exciting new journal in
2015, Screen Bodies. The first issue will be published this fall.
 
Screen Bodies is a peer-reviewed journal focusing on the intersection of
Screen Studies and Body Studies across disciplines, institutions, and media.
It is a forum promoting research on various aspects of embodiment on and in
front of screens through articles, reviews, and interviews. The journal
considers moving and still images, whether from the entertainment industry,
information technologies, or news and media outlets, including cinema,
television, the internet, and gallery spaces. It investigates the private
experiences of portable and personal devices and the institutional ones of
medical and surveillance imaging. Screen Bodies addresses the portrayal,
function, and reception of bodies on and in front of screens from the
perspectives of gender and sexuality, feminism and masculinity, trans*
studies, queer theory, critical race theory, cyborg studies, and dis/ability
studies.
