[Nettime-bold] M/C Call for Contributors: 'game' |
M/C - A Journal of Media and Culture <http://www.api-network.com/mc/> Call for Contributors The University of Queensland's award-winning journal of media and culture, M/C, is looking for new contributors. M/C is a crossover journal between the popular and the academic, and a blind- and peer-reviewed journal. To see what M/C is all about, check out our Website, which contains all the issues released so far, at <http://www.api-network.com/mc/>. To find out how and in what format to contribute your work, visit <http://www.api-network.com/mc/contribute.html>. We are now accepting submissions for the following issue: 'game' - article deadline: 18 September 2000 issue editors: John Banks & P. David Marshall Games have often been thought of as the translation of the real world into safer and harmless virtual worlds. There still may be bodies crunching bodies in pseudo-war territorial games such as football and rugby -- or alternatively blood, muscles and guts may have been placed into the hyperreal chamber of computer and video screens. This issue is all about exploring games and game culture and we invite articles that tackle the translation of our pastimes into video and computer games as much as the televisual Olympic games. Any and all cultural and political issues that are placed in dramatic relief through game culture are fair game. This is the time for all those afficionados to explicate their game identities and pleasures in brilliantly written articles. Or in more crass terms, you can legitimise a large part of your life through writing for M/C -- think of it as potential therapy... issue release date: 18 October 2000 Further topics for the year 2000 are: 'renew' (deadline 13 Nov. / release 13 Dec.) We're looking forward to your articles !
