Apologies for x-posting
Dear All,
If you need a break from your marking....
We are delighted to announce publication of our first entry to our current rolling Volume 9.1, Womb-Wise, by Shannon Magness. This animation short is an original practical exploration of the unconscious impacts and legacies of pre-natal witnessing of domestic violence (through hearing of violent acts or sharing of stress hormones) based on detailed research into childhood trauma of intergenerational intimate partner violence (IPV). Defined by Magness as a ‘Jingle-Doc’, Womb-Wise combines lo-fi animation aesthetics, abstract imagery and a playful, dystopian ‘songscape’ to ‘communicate unthreateningly’ to a wide audience the repressed traumas of both victims and perpetrators of IPV without blaming and ‘without re-traumatising survivors’.
You can view it here: http://screenworks.org.uk/archive/volume-9-1/womb-wise
Volume 9.1 is an open "rolling" volume which means we are accepting practice research submissions on any subject throughout this academic year. Guidelines and submission forms are here: http://screenworks.org.uk/submissions
We also have a live Special Issue on "Practice Pedagogies" the deadline for which is 5 April - this is being curated by Associate Editor Lucy Leake (Plymouth College of Art) in partnership with The Journal of Media Practice and Education. We're seeking a mix of practice + research statement and/or traditional articles. See the full call here: http://screenworks.org.uk/practice-pedagogy-special-issue
Very best wishes,
Charlotte Crofts
Editor of Screenworks
