Dear Colleague, Berghahn is pleased to announce the launch of an exciting new journal, Screen Bodies. The first issue will be published this fall. Screen Bodies is a peer-reviewed journal focusing on the intersection of Screen Studies and Body Studies across disciplines, institutions, and media. It is a forum promoting research on various aspects of embodiment on and in front of screens through articles, reviews, and interviews. The journal considers moving and still images, whether from the entertainment industry, information technologies, or news and media outlets, including cinema, television, the internet, and gallery spaces. It investigates the private experiences of portable and personal devices and the institutional ones of medical and surveillance imaging. Screen Bodies addresses the portrayal, function, and reception of bodies on and in front of screens from the perspectives of gender and sexuality, feminism and masculinity, trans* studies, queer theory, critical race theory, cyborg studies, and dis/ability studies. Please visit the Berghahn website for more information about the journal: www.berghahnjournals.com/screen-bodies ________________________________________ Forthcoming Issue Volume 1, Issue 1, Summer 2015 Introduction: Screened Bodies Brian Bergen-Aurand http://bit.ly/1WuiCWG ARTICLES Cinemautism Steven Eastwood http://bit.ly/1QaaIKK The Politics of Revenge (Pornography) Emma Celeste Bedor http://bit.ly/1QaaP8Y Monstrous Masses: The Human Body as Raw Material John Marmysz http://bit.ly/1MwowEJ Redefining Representation: Black Women’s Digital Media Production Moya Bailey http://bit.ly/1qshczl REPORTS Embodiment, Curation, Exhibition: Report on Douglas Gordon’s Pretty much every film and video work from about 1992 until now.
