                          Call for Papers: 'scan'
                    Edited by Joshua Green and Adam Swift

The scan is both the quick glance and the measured study, it is a survey 
of the
exterior and an interrogation of hidden interiors. Practices of scanning 
are a
response to the increased number of things to consider and the reduced 
amount of
time to consider them. Scanning demarcates that which is seen as relevant,
interesting and important into ever increasing 'to do' lists, at the 
same time
dismissing that which is not. These questions of importance or relevance are
often decided through cursory glances and greater consideration is regularly
left for 'later'. Scanning engages questions about surveillance, about 
the way
in which we surveil our self and our surrounds, and about the way we 
submit our
self and our surrounds to surveillance by others. In many ways scanning 
has an
impact on the way in which authority is practiced, in creative practice,
scholarship and daily life.

This edition invites reflections on the 'scan', on the activities of 
watching,
surveilling, reporting and recording. We invite creative interpretations 
of the
act of scanning and contributions from a wide variety of fields to 
explore its
practices, limitations and potentials. Send 1000-1500 word articles to
scan@journal.media-culture.org.au.
