Calling for abstracts for M/C Journal issue on the theme of ‘revelation’. See CFP below. Papers are 3000 words and due mid-June.



As 2020 began aflame with renewed fears that past revelations were left too long unheeded, it seems there is no time like the present to critically reflect on what has come before and what might come to be. Revelations born from an increasingly diffusive media landscape are allowing for more and more radical voices, rising above the tides of technology and natural disaster. Instances of revelation can be seen, heard, and experienced through a variety of lenses, be they personal or political, historical or speculative, social or cultural, ecological or technological.

This issue asks for responses to the theme of ‘revelation’, broadly understood as the revealing of something unknown, divine epiphany, an unveiling or proclamation of the profound, and the media through which we share those revelatory reckonings.

Areas of investigation may include but are not limited to:
·         instances of revelation in art, literature, film, and television
·         revelatory significance of speculative fiction and eco-media
·         revelations in the wake of socio-political and/or economic change
·         real-time revelations borne from social media
·         radical revelation turned pop culture
·         the role of media in producing and broadcasting revelations
·         genrefication of revelatory media/texts
·         theories of revelation

Prospective contributors should email an abstract of 100-250 words and a brief biography to the issue editors. Abstracts should include the article title and should describe your research question, approach, and argument. Biographies should be about three sentences (maximum 75 words) and should include your institutional affiliation and research interests. Articles should be 3000 words (plus bibliography). All articles will be double-blind refereed and must adhere to MLA style (6th edition).
