Call for Papers: Journal issue
Superhuman, Supernatural, Superlative, or Simply Super Entertainment? :
Contemporary forms and conditions of entertainment media
Materiality aside, the entertainment media possess a refractory
nature: they are often obstinate, stubborn, wayward, perverse, and
disobedient, refusing to be pinned down by critical responses that
seek to homogenize their nature. For this special issue of the
Refractory Journal, we are interested in critical and theoretical
discussions of the forms / conditions / relationships of contemporary
entertainment media products / industries that may include films,
comic books, computer games or theme parks.
Refractory: a Journal of Entertainment Media, is a refereed academic
journal produced at The University of Melbourne reflects on these and
many other aspects of entertainment experiences, and seeks to explore
the fun and, often, serious dimensions to their form.
