CfP: In Medias Res. Theme week “Sound”

The introduction of sound to cinema was hailed as both groundbreaking and as the destruction of a beloved media. The debate on sound’s place and use in cinema and other media has continued to this day. This week’s In Media Res seeks submissions focused on the use of and innovation in sound in media.

Topics may include:

• New Sound Technologies
• Innovative Sound Techniques
• Narration via Sound
• Creation of Soundscapes

Proposals may be brief, but do be sure to describe the topic and key question(s) to be explored. Please submit your proposal by January 21, 2019. If interested, please contact In Media Res (inmediares@gsu.edu) with topic proposals or for more information about the theme. Be sure to include the name of the theme week you would like to be involved with in the subject line of the email.

Academics, journalists, critics, media professionals and fans are all welcome to submit proposals.

The actual piece will include either a 30-second to 3-minute clip, an image, or a slideshow that will be accompanied by a 300 to 350 word response to/contextualization of your clip, image, or slideshow. In addition to your piece, you will be expected to engage the other pieces presented that week to encourage discussion and further flesh out the individual topic in relation to the week’s theme.
