Deadline for outlines: 31 July 2012
In a similar vein to Stuart Allen's book, this volume seeks
to address issues of current theoretical and historical debate with the broad
field of British media history. They have already attracted a number of leading
and emerging scholars within the field but still require high quality
contributions in the following areas:
- Thinking about the media historically
- The political economy of the media
- The media effects debate
- Inscriptions and depictions of 'race'
- Media and sport as spectacular representation
- The mediation of social conflict
- The birth of news
- 18th century newspapers and public opinion
- Eras of film
- Technology's false dawns: the past of media futures
The essay should be 4,000 to 5,000 words in length including
notes and bibliography and pay close attention to recent research and any
international comparisons where appropriate.
If you would like to contribute the editors require a
brief 500 word outline by the end of July 2012 with a view to decisions being
made by the end of September 2012. On acceptance of the proposed essay,
contracts would be issued by Routledge in October 2012 and complete essays submitted for editorial review in
May 2013 for publication mid 2014. There will be a cash fee of £80 (payable on delivery of the final MS to
Roultedge).
Submissions and queries should be directed to the editorial
assistant Dr Angie Negrine at: dr.a.negrine@gmail.com
