MAST: Journal of Media Art, Study and Theory : CFP Issue 2: Media, Materiality and Emergency

In this issue, we invite essays that address the topic of materiality in relation to our contemporary political, environmental, social or economic state of emergency. We want authors to build on the work already done in the field to see how the materiality of media is implicated in or impacted by the emergence (as etymologically related to emergency) of these conditions. Furthermore, we are interested in receiving essays that address strategies of resistance to dominant paradigms or that offer alternative futures through the lens of materiality. We also welcome essays that conduct a rear-view analysis, exploring the relationship between the materiality of media at other times of crisis.
