Wayne State University Press is pleased to announce the publication of a special issue of Discourse: Journal for Theoretical Studies in Media and Culture on the theme of Science and Animation, with guest editors Olivia Banner and Kirsten Ostherr.
This special issue seeks to foster dialogue across boundaries that often keep the fields, disciplines, and practices of science and animation separate. The walls that separate scholars from makers and theorists from practitioners, that divide work in fields such as film studies and science studies from each other, and that isolate the sciences from the humanities are not respected in the messiness of real life and actual work. While collaboration often goes unrecognized within formal disciplinary or industrial practices, people in these areas depend on the work being done in the others, whether that work serves as the object of research, suggests new ways of imagining (and imaging) the future, or supplies new tools to bring those imaginings into being. We think it is time to create new avenues for revealing and translating the work that is done in these divided but not separate spheres.
The issue is available on JSTOR<http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.13110/discourse.37.issue-3> and Project Muse<http://muse.jhu.edu/issue/33325>, and in print<https://commerce.wayne.edu/wsupjournals/discourse/discourse-back-issues/discourse-volume-37-issue-3-fall-2015.html>.
