Global Indigenous Media: Cultures, Practices, and Politics:

We are seeking contributions to a collection that will address the role of
indigenous media in societies around the world, with particular emphasis 
on the
ways in which the increased access by indigenous peoples to new media
technologies for production and distribution of media work has raised the
profile of indigenous aesthetic perspectives and cultural/political 
issues both
in the mainstream and in new venues for indigenous media expression. This
collection will pay careful attention to the diversity of this expression by
incorporating discussions of the full range of production: feature film,
documentary, video art, multimedia works, television programs, radio 
broadcasts,
internet activism, and journalism. Clearly, growing international and 
national
support has multiplied the outlets for cultural expression: combating
discrimination, preserving indigenous cultures and environments, and 
advocating
for cultural rights, such as the right to one's own language, protection of
indigenous traditional knowledge and sufficient provision of resources to
indigenous peoples and their media to promote indigenous language use.

Given the expansiveness of the category of indigenous media, we would 
like to
encourage contributions that think across the divides of geographies,
technologies (film, television, radio, internet), cultures, and politics.
Moreover, we would like this collection to reflect the 
interdisciplinarity of
indigenous media studies. We thus welcome contributions from Native American
studies, cinema and television studies, visual anthropology, cultural 
studies,
art history, journalism, and communication. We will include historical 
research,
local case studies, interviews with producers, cross-cultural
analyses,international perspectives, as well as metacritical work.

Submitted essays will be grouped in the following sections:
* Histories
* Contemporary Practices, Technologies, Industries, & Politics
*Producers—Interviews, Manifestos, Portraits and Monographs
*Local Case Studies
*Connections: Indigenous Media in a Global Perspective
*Indigenous Media Practices and Political 
Activism—Supranationalism,Group
Rights, Sovereignty
*Festival Networks
*Activist and Artist Networks
*The State of the Field
