The International Journal of Screendance
to launch at the American Dance Festival, Durham, North Carolina (USA) June 25th, 2010
The International Journal of Screendance published by Parallel Press/University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA in collaboration with University of Brighton, UK will be launched at a reception hosted by the American Dance Festival on June 25th. The launch will coincide with ADF’s Dancing for the Camera Festival of Dance on Film and Video and a meeting of the Screendance Network.
The International Journal of Screendance is a new peer-reviewed publication, the first-ever scholarly journal dedicated to the growing area of the inter-disciplinary practice of screendance. It is an initiative undertaken by an international group of practitioners, researchers, curators and activists engaged with screendance who wish to establish a forum for debate for all those interested in the intersection of dance and the moving image.
The International Journal of Screendance is hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison and published under the Parallel Press imprint. Print and digital (online) versions of the first issue are now available. The editorial board is constituted from members of the International Screendance Network, based at the University of Brighton and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK), as well as scholars and artists from related fields of inquiry.
The International Journal of Screendance will engage in rigorous critique grounded in both pre-existing and yet-to-be articulated methodologies from the fields of dance, performance, visual art, cinema and media arts, drawing on their practices, technologies, theories and philosophies. As an international platform for screendance scholarship, the journal seeks to foster not only a multi-cultural but also a multilingual discourse.
This Journal will be essential reading for all those interested in the intersection of dance and the moving image including film and video-makers, dance artists, producers, composers as well as the wider interested public. It will become an invaluable resource for researchers and professionals in the field. The Journal will include original scholarship and historically pertinent yet hard-to-find writings, as well as specially commissioned articles. Each issue will be edited around a particular theme and a set of questions that frame current discussions in the global field of screendance as a means of promoting and enriching dialogue within the wider community of dance and the moving image.
