We seek scholarship that deals with space in a range of ways: While we do indeed call for political approaches to gender and space—essays informed by the agendas of feminist and queer activism—we stress that gender and sexuality are not merely areas of special interest, but are instead structuring principles of discrimination that permeate our lives on a number of registers.
Thus, our approach is multivalent. We invite submissions that consider this complexity, possibly addressing the following topics:. We are looking for essays of words, digital art projects, and audio or video interviews exploring the relationship between gender, sexuality, and space.
We encourage approaches to this topic from scholars in cinema and media studies, anthropology, architecture, art and art history, communication, ecology, geography, literature, musicology, sociology, and other relevant fields. Feel free to contact issue co-editors, Hannah Goodwin and Lindsay Palmer, with proposals and inquiries.

This collection offers a series of case studies of recent media controversies and draws on new perspectives in cultural studies to consider a wide variety of types of image, including newspaper cartoons, advertising and fashion photography, music videos, photojournalism, news media, art works, hardcore porn film, anime, horror and exploitation movies, video games, and YouTube reaction videos.
The case studies in this book suggest how we might achieve a more subtle understanding of controversial images and negotiate the difficult terrain of the new media landscape. Written in a lively and accessible style, this book introduces and contextualises the range of different approaches to the study of both of these fields.
The modern world has become trapped between fantasies of infinite bliss and the prospects of total global collapse. Articulated through the global media, these apocalyptic fantasies express a profoundly human condition of crisis. You will never look at your cell phone, TV, or computer the same way after reading this book. Maxwell and Miller not only reveal the dirty secrets that hide inside our beloved electronics; they also take apart the myths that have pushed these gadgets to the centre of our lives. With an astounding array of economic, environmental and historical facts , Greening the Media debunks the idea that information and communication technologies ITC are clean and ecologically benign.
In this compassionate and sharply argued book, the authors show how the physical reality of making, consuming, and discarding them is rife with toxic ingredients, poisonous working conditions, and hazardous waste. But all is not lost.
As the title suggests, Maxwell and Miller dwell critically on these environmental problems in order to think creatively about ways to solve them. They enlist a range of potential allies in this effort to foster greener media — from green consumers to green citizens, with stops along the way to hear from exploited workers, celebrities, and assorted bureaucrats.
