                        Call for Papers: 'transmit'
           Edited by Hendrik Huijser and Brooke Collins-Gearing

In an increasingly globalised and networked world, to transmit is to exist. In a
sense this has always been the case as transmitting is at the heart of human
communication and works on many different levels, including information,
knowledge, culture, language, and media. What has changed then is not so much
the action of transmitting itself, but rather the speed of transmission,
facilitated by increasingly sophisticated transmission tools and widening access
to those tools. This in turn has major implications for the volume of
transmissions and the ability or inability to process them. In this context of
content overload and fierce competition for attention, to transmit effectively
becomes vital, whether on a professional, personal, community or global level.

This issue of M/C Journal invites reflections on 'transmit' from all potential
angles relating to media and culture, including its potential and its
limitations. This could include analyses of the tools of transmission, the
content of transmission, including the transfer of information, knowledge,
culture, language and all forms and genres of media, or a creative combination
thereof. Send 1000-1500 word articles to transmit@journal.media-culture.org.au.
