Parallel Press, UWDCC Celebrate Launch of The International Journal of Screendance
Posted 07/16/2010
MADISON, Wis.- The first issue of The International Journal of Screendance, published by Parallel Press and the UW Digital Collections Center in collaboration with University of Brighton (UK) launched at a reception hosted by the American Dance Festival on June 25th. This is the first academic journal to be published through Parallel Press.
The Journal is the first scholarly publication dedicated to the interdisciplinary practice of screendance. It is an initiative undertaken by an international group of practitioners, researchers, curators and activists engaged with screendance who wish to establish a forum for debate for all those interested in the intersection of dance and the moving image.
Print versions of the Journal's first issue are available through Parallel Press, while digital versions are available through the UW Digital Collections Center. The editorial board is constituted from members of the International Screendance Network, based at the University of Brighton and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK), as well as scholars and artists from related fields of inquiry.
The International Journal of Screendance will engage in rigorous critique grounded in both pre-existing and yet-to-be articulated methodologies from the fields of dance, performance, visual art, cinema and media arts, drawing on their practices, technologies, theories and philosophies. As an international platform for screendance scholarship, the journal seeks to foster not only a multicultural but also a multilingual discourse.
The Journal is peer-reviewed and includes original scholarship and historically pertinent yet hard-to-find writings, as well as specially commissioned articles. Each issue will be edited around a particular theme and a set of questions that frame current discussions in the global field of screendance as a means of promoting and enriching dialogue within the wider community of dance and the moving image.
For a list of editorial board members and information on submitting to the Journal, please visit arts.brighton.ac.uk/screendance. For ordering issues of the journal go to Parallel Press.
