Apparently, there is a new journal out that will publish in March 08. Here is the highly relevant (to readers of this blog) call for papers (CFP):
We invite submissions on all areas of sf film and television, and which situate texts, practices and institutions within broader national, historical, cultural, theoretical and critical contexts. In addition to popular and contemporary works, we are interested in papers which consider neglected texts, propose innovative ways of looking at canonical texts, or explore the tensions and synergies that emerge from the interaction of genre and medium. We encourage work that considers the specificities of the genre and what its increasing centrality to film and television globally might suggest for critical approaches to film, sf and television.
We publish articles (6000-8000 words), book and DVD reviews (1000-2000 words) and review essays (up to 5000 words). Suggestions for papers include but are not limited to the following areas:
silent sf
European sf (e.g., French New Wave, Turkish pop cinema)
East Asian sf (e.g., kaiju eiga, anime)
Hollywood sf blockbusters
animation and greenscreen
adaptations
low-budget and independent sf
childrens sf
costume, design and music
spectacle and special effects
the soap opera-isation of television sf
sf and avant-garde practice
the relationships between globalisation, transnationalisation, media convergence and sf
the science-fictionality of media technologies and forms themselves
cross-media and transnational franchises
audience, fans and consumptionArticles should be 6000-8000 words (MLA format) and include a 100-word abstract. Electronic submission in MS Word is preferred.
