###### SPECIAL ISSUE OUTLINE

In her Fall 2014 Film Quarterly editorial film theorist B. Ruby Rich
writes,

> "Cinema itself is in a state of immense transition, yet it's hard not
> to notice that attention is lavished disproportionately on technology
> and auteurist style, with the question of theme, focus, and subject
> matter repeatedly sidelined. What, though, is "filmable" today? And
> what is "theorizable" in response?"

Rich highlights how academic and journalistic discussions of the "new
media" landscape in recent years have focused largely on technology and
industry over content, theorisation and disciplinary boundaries.
Considerable academic work has examined how the conditions of the
convergence era have been enabled by and impact upon technology,
production, distribution, and consumption and the media industry more
broadly (Turner & Tay 2009; Gripsrund 2010; Lotz 2014; Haven & Lotz
2017). Building on this work, this special issue seeks to engage with
the convergence of film and media at the level of content, authorship,
genre, aesthetics, style and form.

While today "cinema" is an increasingly fluid term that moves across
platforms, genres and textual boundaries, in this special issue we are
interested in what it means to study cinema and/or other forms of
screen-media in today's increasingly fractured media landscape. This
issue will explore the transitional nature of contemporary screen
studies and the movement of scholarship, theory and ideas across its
boundaries. We invite scholars working across film, television, video
and internet genres to submit proposals for articles on topics such as:

- Interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches to screen media.
- Applying a single discipline to study a screen text not in that
  discipline.
- In what ways are different screen-based media texts informing and
  shaping one another?
- What are the textual, generic and/or aesthetic boundaries that define
  film/television/video today?
- What is the place of screen audiences in the increasingly
  convergent/divergent media landscape?
- What is the continuing value of single discipline approaches in a
  critical landscape dominated by interdisciplinary screen studies?
- What is lost when single discipline approaches are incorporated into
  screen studies?
