For Convergence: The Journal of Research into New Media Technologies


For Volume 3 No. 2 of the Journal (Summer 1997) we are seeking papers
relating to research projects or case studies on media technology and
theory.  Papers addressing the work of people such as Deleuze and
Guattari, Paul Virilio, Donna Harroway, Pierre Levy etc. in the
context of developments in the field of new media/digital technologies
would be welcome. The issue will be guest-edited by Andrew Murphie,
Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.

Submission deadline for this issue is 30 October 1996.

Convergence is a refereed academic journal which addresses the 
creative, social, political and pedagogical issues raised by the
advent of new media technologies.  As a research journal it provides a
forum  both for monitoring and exploring developments and for
publishing vital research.  Published quarterly in paper form and
adopting an inter-disciplinary approach Convergence will develop this
area into an entirely new research field.  The principal aims of
Convergence are:

o	to develop critical frameworks and methodologies which enable the
reception, consumption and impact of new technologies to be evaluated
in  their domestic, public and educational contexts o	to contextualise
the study of those new technologies within existing debates in media
studies, and to address the specific implications of the increasing
convergence of media forms o	to monitor the conditions of emergence of
new media technologies, their subsequent mass production and the
development of new cultural forms o	to promote discussion and analysis
of the creative and educational potentials of those technologies, and
to contextualise those cultural practices within wider cultural and
political debates.
