Apologies for cross posting. Continuing our theme of genre and animation, we have a post from our guest curator Eve Benhamou (thanks again to Eve for all her work on this theme) looking at "generic hybridity in contemporary mainstream animation". Please feel free to comment. The CFP for May is below (deadline is today! Friday 29th April –please get in touch if you would still like to submit something for this theme). If you have any ideas for themes and/or would like to curate a month please let me know. http://blog.animationstudies.org/ best wishes Nichola Dr Nichola Dobson President Society for Animation Studies follow us on twitter @anistudies like us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/SocietyForAnimationStudies?ref=hl CFP Animation as Collaboration May Theme (Deadline Friday 29th April 2016) This month’s theme looks at the cross over between what we might term ‘filmic’ animation (cinema, TV, experimental exhibition work) and other platforms and outputs for animation where it might be called something else. There are numerous areas where animation is present but through collaboration with another form, becomes less visible as animation. This is not problematic but may require us to think differently about how we describe what we know as animation when other platforms and applications are taken into account. Conversely it can be worth highlighting the potential for animation to enhance these other platforms due to its animatedness. Can we think about animation in its full inter/cross disciplinary glory? Topics may include but are not limited to: - Motion graphics in graphic design. - Animation in games; - Digital media. - Animation in/and science. 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.
