CALL FOR PAPERS: SPECIAL ISSUE, FALL 2018
Special Issue: Fall 2018; Guest Editors: Dr. April Leach and Dr. Ian O’Bryne
This special issue of the Journal of Literacy and Technology invites academic submissions in order to investigate the intersection between art and communication through media literacy.
As information and communication technologies advance, so too does the need to look at conceptions of "text" more broadly. This would include, but not be limited to visual aesthetics, design cues, tool/text affordances, role of sender/audience, communication accommodation theory, transmediation, and the affordances of imagery to build critical communication literacy across cultures.
This themed issue seeks to identify current and future trends in this framing of text as it relates to building media literacy to understand the opportunities to encode and decode symbols as individuals synthesize, analyze, and produce mediated messages. As more of what we would consider to be "art" is brought into media literacy, these visual and aesthetic elements have an impact on these texts as individuals read, write, and communicate across society.
Abstracts of up to 1,500 words. Articles up to 10,000 words excluding references and tables.
