CALL FOR PAPERS:
SCALE
Media Fields Journal issue 4
www.mediafieldsjournal.org

Media Fields Journal invites critical and artistic submissions on the
theme of scale.

"Scale" at once denotes a difference in size, scope, or range, and
assures us that such differences can be measured and defined. Media
and scale have a long, complex, and ever-changing relationship that
raises a number of questions, including:

How does the size of a media object inflect its functions?

What are the effects of "scaling" media up (say, to IMAX screens) or
down (e.g., to iPods)?

What is a large-scale production? What is a small-scale production?

What is a "human scale"? How can media represent things that are not
on a human scale?

Who works "for scale"?

How have various musical scales provided enabling or limiting
structures for composers using them?

What are the relationships between media and long and short temporal scales?

In what ways do media function as measuring devices? In what ways are
media measurable?

If you would like to explore these or any other questions related to
the relationship between media and scale, please contact issue editors
Meredith Bak ([log in to unmask]) and Daniel Reynolds
([log in to unmask]) with proposals by June 3, 2011.

We seek a range of scholarly and creative works: medium-length essays
of 1500-2500 words, digital art projects, interviews, etc.
