This month we invite posts on all things animated for the younger audience. Topics include but not limited to: - Infant and Pre-school - Education and/or entertainment? - Suitable content/age range and moving to more mature content. - The Saturday morning hangover - The old violence debate - Adult enjoyment (& co-opting) of ‘children’s shows’ - The great merchandise swindle Posts of between 300 and 500 words, which discuss any aspect of the above topic are welcome. Contributors are encouraged to include clips and images to support their posts. Please also include a short bio to accompany the post. All permissions are the responsibility of the contributor. Please contact the editor [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] with submissions or questions. -------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA mailing list -------------------------------------------------------- To manage your subscription or unsubscribe from the MECCSA list, please visit: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=MECCSA&A=1 ------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA is the subject association for the field of media, communication and cultural studies in UK Higher Education.
