CFP: Medium, Immediacy, Intermediality - “medium” beyond current disciplinary frames (Postmodern Culture, due June 1, 2012)

This issue of Postmodern Culture aims to gather ways of seeing the term “medium” beyond current disciplinary frames. Rather than take the routes of literary or film studies, art history or communication theory - and rather than see media as discrete, pre-constituted categories of aesthetics or mechanics - we seek to put the category of medium into question, and in doing so, to facilitate approaches to the various mutually dependent media whose boundaries and frames might now seem less conclusive.

Abstracts due June 1, 2012.
