Amodern Media, Culture, Poetics
http://amodern.net Amodern is a peer-reviewed, open access scholarly journal devoted to the study of media, culture, and poetics.

Its purpose is to provide a forum for interdisciplinary conversations about the role of media and technology in contemporary cultural practices. We are particularly interested in those topics that normally escape scrutiny, or are ignored or excluded for whatever reason. The journal is distinguished by its focus on poetics as a scholarly practice, with particular emphasis on the unruly ways that pe

ople deploy media and technology behind, beneath, and despite their instrumental functions. Against the grain of determinism, we hope to attract work that bears witness to media as complex assemblages of institutions, subjects, bodies, objects, and discourses. Amodern will publish two issues annually with the goal of eventually becoming a quarterly. Issues of the journal will be organized around specific topics and themes. Editors

Call for Papers – Amodern 13: Affective Signals: Sounding the Curatorial, edited by Klara du Plessis and Jason Camlot.

How is sound curated? And how does sound affect concepts and practices of curation? What are the affordances of sound recordings in material and/or digital formats for acts of curation? What are the political and ethical considerations of making archival sounds public? How might curated audio collections make us feel, and why? Hinging on the distinction between sound as a vibrational, audibly perceivable entity and signal as a representational entity of that sound made manifest through recording and its preservation, these fundamental questions amplify the tension between sound as abstract and immaterial, and signal as artifactual and discernible. This CFP invites you to explore concepts and examples of sound and their signals in relation to acts of curation, welcoming contributions to a special issue of the refereed, open access journal Amodern entitled, “Affective Signals: Sounding the Curatorial.”
