The editors of The Goose, Imaginations Journal, and Engaged Scholar Journal are co-organizing a special issue on sustainable publishing. This journal issue comes out of conversations about low-carbon research dissemination and publishing practices at a conference panel organized by the editors at the CCA Annual Conference in Toronto, 2023. We seek to bring together scholars, artists, librarians, and practitioners to explore aspects of social and environmental sustainability within scholarly publishing, while experimenting with publishing form. This innovative issue will be platformed across the three open-access journals with a shared table of contents. Our hope is to use this issue, alongside other forums, to build community around more sustainable, equitable, and low-carbon publishing and push for structural changes in the sector. Submissions are welcome in English and in French and may be submitted to any of the three hosting journals. Questions and inquiries can be directed to Rachel Jekanowski (rjekanowski at mun.ca), Margot Mellet (margot.mellet at umontreal.ca), and Brent Ryan Bellamy (brent.ryan.bellamy at gmail.com).

Please find the detailed bilingual invitation below. C?est avec grand plaisir que nous lan?ons cet appel ? articles pour un num?ro sp?cial du Canadian Journal of Communication. Veuillez prendre connaissance de l?invitation bilingue d?taill?e ci-dessous. Andrew Herman (Wilfrid Laurier University) & Guillaume Latzko-Toth (Universit? Laval) Guest Editors / ?diteurs invit?s (French version follows) CJC Special Issue Reimagining Canadian Communication Thought It has been almost 25 years since Robert Babe published Canadian Communication Thought: Ten Foundational Writers (Babe, 2000). In his book, Babe attempted to create a canon of ?Canadian Communication Thought? based on a consideration of influences, themes, and conceptual dispositions of ten disparate Canadian scholars and cultural practitioners that, from his perspective, represented a coherent (if heterogenous) approach to communication which was identifiably and distinctively Canadian. For Babe, each of the ten theorists represented a significant departure from the theories of communication and methodologies of empirical research that dominated communication studies in the United States from the mid- to late twentieth century. Positioned outside of yet in close proximity to the US, these scholars developed an approach to communication (and culture) that shared a suite of distinctive intellectual dispositions. First, their work was ?dialectical? in its mode of reasoning and analysis and, as such, foregrounded a critical bearing towards the dynamics of power in media, communication, and culture. Second, this critical, dialectical framework attuned this collective body of work to the focus of critical political economy with concern for the intertwined power of the state and capital(ism). Third, according to Babe, these scholars were overtly concerned with the mediations of everyday life produced by technologies of media and communication. Fourth, such mediations were seen as inextricably linked with the ?ontologies? of identity and community in Canada, ontologies which were also very much rooted in the particularities of the Canadian landscape as well as Canada?s social, political and economic development as a ?counter-revolutionary? settler colony at the periphery of an empire. From Babe?s perspective, it is the articulation and confluence of these characteristics that generated a mode of theorizing about communication that was ?quintessentially Canadian?. Babe?s project of creating a foundational canon of ?Canadian Communication Thought? was certainly ambitious, especially in terms of staging a tableau of such a diverse array of intellectual figures, ranging from Harold Innis, Marshall McLuhan, Gertrude Robinson, George Grant, and Dallas Smythe to C.B. McPherson, Northrup Frye, Graham Spry, John Grierson, and Irene Spry. But it was also audacious in its determination to find a through line of a ?quintessentially Canadian? mode of conceptualizing communication that united these diverse figures under the common nationalist signifier of ?Canadian Communication Thought?. However one assesses the validity of choosing this particular group of scholars and attempting to fit them within a common framework of interpretation, as the CJC review of the book argued, ?What the book asserts by virtue of its existence is perhaps of as much importance as the claims within it? (Dowler, 2001:570). That is to say, the idea of a coherent intellectual topos that can be named and recognized as ?Canadian Communication Thought? matters as much -if not more- than the particulars of its inhabitants and borders that Babe sought to map. Almost 25 years after the publication of Babe?s book, we propose a special issue of the CJC devoted to the reassessment of, and perhaps more importantly, reimagining of the intellectual project of ?Canadian Communication Thought?. Babe?s project was very much constructed as a backward-looking, historical accounting of the formation of something Babe could delineate as ?Canadian Communication Thought?. With the exception of Gertrude Joch Robinson, all of Babe?s foundational figures made their intellectual careers and mark in the dark heart of the mid-twentieth century and had passed on well before the dawn of the 21st century. As such, the time(s) and place(s) of their Canada is very much different from ours. Moreover, the positionality of Babe's foundational figures was very white, very anglophone, very Upper Canada and Ontario centric, and, with the exception of Gertrude Robinson and Irene Spry, very male. Accordingly, the ?solitudes? of Babe?s canon of ?Canadian Communication Thought? are myriad, and if the concept of ?Canadian Communication Thought? is to have any coherent salience in the 21st century, their hermetic boundaries must be breached by inviting diverse voices from different positionalities into a conversation about what the concept might mean going forward into the future. Accordingly, in this issue we seek article submissions that address one or more of the following questions: 1. Is the continued assertion of the existence of Canadian Communication thought as a coherent intellectual topos still a virtue in the contemporary moment of the near mid-21st century? If so, how would or should we imagine its terrain, and what itineraries of inquiry would be appropriate in mapping it? 2. What makes this intellectual space distinctively ?Canadian?? Is it necessary or sufficient for a scholar or school of thought to be Canadian by nationality, residence, or institutional affiliation? Or is it more appropriate to argue that ?Canadian Communication Thought? is a topos or a territorially emplaced imaginary of theory and analysis that is defined by distinctive conceptual articulations of media, communication, and technology rather than a geographic or national identity? 3. What would a topos of Canadian Communication Thought look like from different positionalities that characterize the multicultural Canadian present?Indigenous, francophone, POC, Black Canadian, South Asian, queer, LGTBQ2S+, and so on? 4. What are the possible articulations of the key theoretical/conceptual paradigms that have emerged and characterized Canadian Communication Thought in the 21st century, including (but certainly not limited to): feminist media and communications studies; materialist medium theory and analysis; post-colonial and decolonial approaches to media, communication, and technology; critical infrastructure studies; critical political economy and policy studies; critical internet studies; media history and media archaeology; and so on? Format and Editorial Priorities This bilingual special issue will gather two types of contributions: 1) full-length research articles (7000-8000 words) that reflect on/problematize epistemic and ontological features of Canadian communication thought and 2) shorter interventions (2500-3000 words) that offer a synthesis of a certain stream of theory or conceptual work, a ?school of thought? or a specific approach that is representative of Canadian communication thought in its diversity. We invite scholars based in Canadian academic institutions and scholars from around the world with an interest in the topic to submit work. Please note that we are especially interested in receiving submissions from Indigenous scholars, emerging scholars and scholars representing visible minorities. We also welcome both English and French-language submissions. Abstracts should be 400 words for an article proposal and 250 words for an intervention proposal; they should include a title, type of submission, and contact information, including a short bio (50 words for each author).

Num?ro th?matique du CJC R?imaginer la pens?e canadienne en communication Il s'est ?coul? pr?s de 25 ans depuis la publication de l?ouvrage Canadian Communication Thought: Ten Foundational Writers par Robert Babe (Babe, 2000). Dans son livre, Babe a tent? de produire un canon de la ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ? en s?appuyant sur les influences, les th?mes et les appareils conceptuels de dix chercheur.es et praticien.nes culturel.les canadien.nes disparates qui, selon lui, repr?sentaient une approche coh?rente (bien qu?h?t?rog?ne) de la communication, identifiable et distinctement canadienne. Pour Babe, chacun.e des dix th?oricien.nes repr?sentait une divergence significative par rapport aux th?ories de la communication et aux m?thodologies de recherche empirique qui dominaient les ?tudes en communication aux ?tats-Unis du milieu ? la fin du vingti?me si?cle. Situ?s en dehors des ?tats-Unis tout en ?tant en ?troite proximit? avec eux, ces auteurs et autrices ont d?velopp? une approche de la communication (et de la culture) partageant un ensemble de dispositions intellectuelles distinctives. Premi?rement, leur travail ?tait ? dialectique ? dans son mode de raisonnement et d?analyse et, en tant que tel, mettait en avant une attitude critique envers les dynamiques de pouvoir dans les m?dias, la communication et la culture. Deuxi?mement, ce cadre critique et dialectique a permis ? ce travail collectif de s'inscrire dans le cadre de l'?conomie politique critique et de s'int?resser au pouvoir entrelac? de l'?tat et du capital(isme). Troisi?mement, selon Babe, ces chercheurs se pr?occupaient ouvertement des m?diations de la vie quotidienne produites par les technologies des m?dias et de la communication. Quatri?mement, ces m?diations ?taient per?ues comme ?tant inextricablement li?es aux ? ontologies ? de l?identit? et de la communaut? au Canada, ontologies ?galement tr?s ancr?es dans les particularit?s du paysage canadien ainsi que dans le d?veloppement social, politique et ?conomique du Canada en tant que colonie de peuplement ? contre-r?volutionnaire ? ? la p?riph?rie d?un empire. Selon Babe, c?est l?articulation et la confluence de ces caract?ristiques qui ont g?n?r? un mode de th?orisation de la communication ? quintessentiellement canadien ?. Le projet de Babe de cr?er un canon fondamental de la ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ? ?tait assur?ment ambitieux, ne serait-ce qu?en r?unissant un ?ventail si diversifi? de figures intellectuelles, allant de Harold Innis, Marshall McLuhan, Gertrude Robinson, George Grant et Dallas Smythe ? C.B. McPherson, Northrop Frye, Graham Spry, John Grierson et Irene Spry. Mais il ?tait aussi audacieux dans sa d?termination ? trouver le fil conducteur d?un mode de conceptualisation de la communication ? quintessentiellement canadien ? qui unirait ces figures diverses sous le signifiant nationaliste commun de la ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ?. Peu importe la mani?re dont on ?value la validit? du choix de ce groupe particulier de chercheurs et de la tentative de les int?grer dans un cadre commun d'interpr?tation, comme l'a soutenu la critique du livre dans CJC, ? ce que le livre affirme par son existence est peut-?tre aussi important que les affirmations qu'il contient ? (Dowler, 2001:570). Autrement dit, l'id?e d'un topos intellectuel coh?rent qui peut ?tre nomm? et reconnu comme ? la pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ? importe autant, sinon davantage, que les particularit?s de ses occupants et les fronti?res que Babe cherchait ? dessiner. Pr?s de 25 ans apr?s la publication du livre de Babe, nous proposons un num?ro sp?cial du CJC consacr? ? la r??valuation et, peut-?tre plus important encore, ? la r?imagination du projet intellectuel de la ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ?. Le projet de Babe ?tait essentiellement construit comme une r?trospective historique, un r?cit de la formation de quelque chose que Babe pensait pouvoir identifier comme la ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ?. ? l'exception de Gertrude Joch Robinson, toutes les figures fondatrices choisies par Babe ont effectu? leurs carri?res intellectuelles et marqu? leur ?poque au beau milieu du vingti?me si?cle, et sont d?c?d?es bien avant l'aube du 21e si?cle. De ce fait, le(s) temps et le(s) lieu(x) de leur Canada sont tr?s diff?rents des n?tres. De plus, la positionnalit? des figures fondatrices de Babe ?tait tr?s blanche, tr?s anglophone, tr?s centr?e sur le Haut-Canada et l'Ontario, et, ? l'exception de Gertrude Robinson et d?Irene Spry, tr?s masculine. Par cons?quent, les ? solitudes ? du canon de Babe de la ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ? sont multiples, si bien que pour que le concept de ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ? ait une pertinence au 21e si?cle, ses fronti?res herm?tiques doivent ?tre ?clat?es en invitant des voix diversifi?es ayant diff?rentes positionnalit?s ? participer ? une conversation sur ce que le concept pourrait signifier ? l'avenir. Par cons?quent, dans ce num?ro, nous recherchons des propositions d?articles qui abordent une ou plusieurs des questions suivantes : 1. Quelle est la vertu de l?affirmation r?it?r?e de l'existence de la pens?e communicationnelle canadienne en tant que topos intellectuel coh?rent dans le contexte contemporain du presque milieu du 21e si?cle ? Si oui, comment devrions-nous imaginer son terrain, et quels itin?raires de recherche seraient appropri?s pour le cartographier ? 2. Qu'est-ce qui rend cet espace intellectuel distinctement ? canadien ? ? Est-il n?cessaire ou suffisant qu'un.e chercheur.e ou une ?cole de pens?e soit canadien.ne par nationalit?, r?sidence ou affiliation institutionnelle ? Ou est-il plus appropri? de soutenir que la ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ? est un topos ou un imaginaire th?orique et analytique situ?, d?fini par des articulations conceptuelles distinctives des m?dias, de la communication et de la technologie, plut?t que par une identit? g?ographique ou nationale ? 3. ? quoi ressemblerait un topos de la pens?e communicationnelle canadienne vu de diff?rentes positionnalit?s caract?risant le Canada multiculturel contemporain ? autochtone, francophone, personne racis?e, canadien.ne noir.e, sud-asiatique, queer, LGBTQ2S+, etc. ? 4. Quelles sont les articulations possibles des paradigmes th?oriques/conceptuels cl?s qui ont ?merg? et qui ont caract?ris? la pens?e communicationnelle canadienne au 21e si?cle, y compris (entre autres) : les ?tudes f?ministes des m?dias et de la communication ; la th?orie et l'analyse mat?rialistes des m?dias ; les approches postcoloniales et d?coloniales des m?dias, de la communication et de la technologie ; les ?tudes critiques des infrastructures ; l'?conomie politique critique et les ?tudes de politiques ; les ?tudes critiques d'internet ; l'histoire des m?dias et l'arch?ologie des m?dias ; et ainsi de suite ? Format et approche ?ditoriale Ce num?ro sp?cial bilingue rassemblera deux types de contributions : 1) des articles de recherche approfondis (7000-8000 mots) qui r?fl?chissent aux caract?ristiques ?pist?miques et ontologiques de la pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ou les probl?matisent ; et 2) des interventions plus courtes (2500-3000 mots) qui offrent une synth?se d'un courant th?orique ou conceptuel, d'une ? ?cole de pens?e ? ou d'une approche sp?cifique repr?sentative de la diversit? de la pens?e communicationnelle canadienne.

A call for papers for Emerging Media below. Please note the very tight deadline. Call for research and colloquium articles: Decolonising media futures Special issue of Emerging Media https://journals.sagepub.com/home/emm Guest editors: Donald Matheson, donald.matheson at canterbury.ac.nz Tara Ross, tara.ross at canterbury.ac.nz Zita Joyce, zita.joyce at canterbury.ac.nz Research articles and colloquium articles are invited for this special issue. Deadline for submissions: 15 September 2024. Media technologies are not neutral, but reflect the societies and cultures in which they arise and are made use of. A key issue for scholarship on emerging media is, then, the extent to which emerging media structures, forms and practices reproduce inequities and biases in society and culture and thereby privilege the interests and perspectives of some groups over others. That issue also has a flip side, that is, the extent to which groups that have been historically marginalised, colonised or disempowered can shape a different media future. These concerns are global ones and raise questions about how large-scale and enduring power imbalances between people can be critiqued or challenged. This special issue will contribute to this project of decolonising communication by drawing together work that explores emerging media in terms of the interests and understandings of those who have been colonised, including systematically oppressed groups, indigenous people and groups who have been structurally excluded from communication. That work may include: - analysis of the challenges and opportunities experienced in decolonising media projects - conceptual work on what emerging media mean in indigenous contexts - critique by indigenous scholars of neo-colonial practices in digital media - data sovereignty projects in the global South - research on the consequences of specific technologies such as AI for decolonisation Original research articles (up to 6000 words): Submission of articles is invited, to be double-blind peer reviewed in addition to the special issue editors. Acceptance will be offered after peer review. Invitations will be made on the basis of excellence rather than a spread of contributions or authors. A special invitation to submit is extended to scholars from the global South, from indigenous scholars or researchers foregrounding the perspectives of those involved in decolonising media. Colloquium articles (up to 3000 words): Articles will be reviewed by the editorial team. Researchers with ongoing work that promises to develop the field or lead to significant findings are invited to submit articles that set out highlights of their research, such as their research goals, the ways they have collaborated with communities or civil society groups, the innovativeness of their approach or is otherwise distinctive. No author processing charges or other payment from authors will be required. The deadline for submissions is 15 September 2024. Please email one of the guest editors if you have any questions.

For film archivists, the element is the inert container of audiovisual content subject to archival care and maintenance?the original artifact and source of any material or digital copies to come. Indeed, across scholarly and archival spheres alike, the element has remained the intrinsic foundation of the moving image, its archival preservation, and the theoretical study thereof. Whereas Caroline Frick has considered the ways that ?original? media elements become bound up with notions of authenticity, cultural heritage, and nationhood, scholar-practitioners have increasingly turned to what Giovanna Fossati calls film?s ?archival life,? a term that seeks to discursively address the expanding myriad of physical and digital spaces required in contemporary preservation. How, Fossati posits, might scholars and archivists alike better account for the ways that film and media are at once preserved, historized and politicized by archival processes? In other words, what might be gained from reflecting seriously on how different kinds of media traverse the archival sphere? What happens when a given audiovisual element also becomes an archival one? This issue of Media Fields seeks to build on these conversations by examining how the proliferation and mediation of the archive and its elements is productive. Contemporary archival elements are often integrated into processes involving other forms of media, such as database and metadata development, digitization, interactive and public-facing archival digital interfaces, and larger multimedia collections. We ask: what kinds of political, theoretical, and practical connections arise when thinking about and doing the archive in these different spatial ways ?traditional, alternative, or otherwise?and how might we better place these approaches in discursive conjunction with one another? Further, what are new ways in which theory (archival and otherwise) might intervene and inform archival practice, and historicizing therein? In turn, what does this mean for the (after)lives of the media themselves? The Media Fields Editorial Collective at UC Santa Barbara?s Department of Film and Media Studies welcomes submissions that critically engage the connections between space, media, and archival practice. We seek essays of 1500?2500 words, digital art projects, and interviews from scholars and practitioners alike. Potential submission topics include, but are not limited to: * Preservation: Precarity and decay, fragility, physicality, ontologies of the film and media archive and its objects, broadly construed * Cataloging: Metadata organization, archival etymology, reparative description and taxonomies, hierarchical data structures * Collection management: Power and ethics, restitution and social justice, collections policy, community oversight, institutional and/or community-based funding structures * Memory: Personal, collective, historical and/or cultural memories, archival modes of erasure, loss, and silence * Curation: Accessibility, community engagement, digital interfaces * Provenance: Found footage, orphan films, transnational displacement * Archival space: Traditional institutions, digital databases, garages, basements Past Media Fields issues and submission guidelines may be found at mediafieldsjournal.org. Please email all inquiries and submissions to issue co-editors Kelsey Moore and Hannah Garibaldi at submissions at mediafieldsjournal.org by October 31, 2024. -- Media Fields Conference | http://mediafields.wordpress.com/ Media Fields Journal | http://www.mediafieldsjournal.org/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
