Announcement & Call for submissions

The fourth issue of Participations: Journal of Audience and Reception 
studies, a
new journal which aims to provide an on-line, interdisciplinary forum 
for the
fields of audience and reception studies, has just come out.

Issue #4 (November, 2005) includes an editorial by Ernest Mathijs, Martin
Barker's 'Loving and hating straw dogs: The meaning of audience responses
to a controversial film', Ramaswami Harindranath's 'Ethnic and cultural
difference: Some thematic and political issues on global audience research',
Celeste Woo's 'Communal heritage vs. crucible of honor: The function of 
audience
in Olivier's and Branagh's Henry IV', as well as various reviews.


Submissions
Particip@tions is always on the look-out for contributions from a wide 
range of
disciplines that focus on audience research. It publishes contributions from
various approaches, such as, sociology, psychology, anthropology,
linguistics/discourse theory and cultural and media studies. 
Additionally, since
important notions about audiences have emerged from outside the 
'mainstream'of
media audience research, Particip@tions will also publish noteworthy
contributions from fields such as museum and heritage studies; literary 
studies;
educational studies, as well as interesting contributions from fields 
outside
academia.


Briefly -
Particip@tions aims to
     * publish research from different approaches, without the 
limitations on
length and presentation of evidence which can cramp and weaken such work;
     * encourage open debate between different approaches and methodologies;
     * encourage collaborations across academic disciplines, areas and 
countries;
     * provide a place where people may find materials and 
bibliographies for use
in teaching, and research training;
     * provide a focal point for the development of the broad field, 
including
the organization of conferences and other kinds of fora.
