CALL FOR PAPERS

CALL FOR PAPERS FOR DOSSIER OF CONTRACAMPO JOURNAL IS OPEN UNTIL 3 APRIL

Contracampo Journal has opened a call for papers for the dossier “Products, creation, and media consumption for children and young people in digital culture,” which will be organized by CIAC researcher Gabriela Borges, together with Ariane Holzbach (PPGCOM/UFF, Brazil) and Yamile Sandoval (Rede Alfamed/Talentum Line Unidad de Innovación Educativa, Colombia). This dossier encourages articles from different theoretical and methodological approaches that cover social, cultural, historical, political, economical, and geopolitical issues and the way they relate to the public socially seen as children and youth.

The dossier aims to think about the articulations between these and other phenomena that transit in the relationship between babies, children, teenagers, and young people and media products, both with regard to what is produced specifically for this audience and in the tangential consumption of products made for the adult universe, but which, for various reasons, are present in their eventual and daily practice.

Among the topics to be covered are highlighted: serial fiction for children and teenagers (novels, series, miniseries, etc.); cartoons; movies for children and young people; children’s and youth literature; games; board games; artistic universe for children and young people; music albums; live shows; streaming; platforms in conjunction with the universe of children and young people; child and adult digital influencers who produce content for children; media and digital literacy of children and young people.

The call for papers is open until 3 April 2023.
