Call for Papers: 'publish'
Edited by P. David Marshall and Peta Mitchell
In 1998, M/C - A Journal of Media and Culture was devised by David Marshall
as an online publishing project for a new media culture honours course at
the University of Queensland. The journal was intended as an open-access,
scholarly intervention in and forum for debates surrounding media and
culture with a strong desire to cross between the academic and the popular.
This year, M/C Journal celebrates its tenth anniversary, and in this
special issue we ask: what is the face of publishing today?
We invite submissions of 3,000 words in length that address contemporary
cultural/political aspects of publishing, such as recent shifts in print
culture, online/open-access publishing, print-on-demand and
self-publication, approaches to copyright and intellectual property (e.g.,
creative commons), the impact of research quality assessments on academic
publishing, cross-platform publishing, independent publishing, and so
forth. In this era of social networking and continuous peer-review, how has
the form of academic publishing shifted and, in a more normative sense, how
should it shift? What possible futures can be imagined in publishing and
publication and what are the new desires and demands to be "published"? All
of these various issues and approaches to the idea of publish will be
entertained as we mark M/C Journal's own online publishing milestone.
If you are interested in submitting an article, please e-mail a brief
abstract to the editors at publish_at_journal.media-culture.org.au.
Article deadline: 27 June 2008
Issue release date: 27 Aug. 2008
