Synæsthesia and ‘Video Gaming’ (v. 2 n. 1) (submissions due by 12/31/12)Thought, engagement and   communication of meanings depend upon perception. Synæsthesia is an   international, multi-media refereed journal that aims to unravel issues of   communication and considers the extra dimensions of meaning that layer   communication practices and contemporary theoretical frameworks. From the   subjective-embodied to the objective, interpersonal to mass-marketed,   regional to global, and academic to corporate, among genders and across time,   Synæsthesia strives to traverse disciplinary boundaries, seeking to advance   new perspectives of understanding within and across cultures.Synæsthesia managing   editors Dr. Christopher Melley and Dr. Daniel Broudy are pleased to announce   that this edition of the journal will be co-edited by Dr. Jeffery Klaehn   (editor of The Political Economy of Media and Power, 2010).Synæsthesia invites   submissions for an upcoming edition of the journal (Vol. 2, no. 1) devoted to   ‘Video Gaming’ – proposed articles should aim to enliven scholarly debate and   discussions about video games and gaming and may focus on video games as   cultural, economic, political, or social artifacts and/or customs; or   constructions and/or reproductions of fantasy, reality, or domination within   contemporary society.Articles are rigorously   peer-reviewed. Scholarly work accepted for publication in the online journal   will receive subsequent consideration for publication of future collected   volumes. The editors seek articles, essays, reviews and photo journalistic   work rigorous in scholarship yet accessible in style for audiences somewhat   wider than highly trained specialists in areas of communication, sociology,   media studies, discourse analysis, semiotics, rhetoric, education, the visual   arts, or literature.Submissions lodged by   e-mail should include a title, abstract, author's name, and institutional   affiliation. Including in the subject line of your e-mail submission the   proposed title of your essay/paper will help us parse spam from legitimate   inquiries.
