CFP: Journal: Asian Diasporic Visual Cultures and the Americas

Deadline: Jun 1, 2015

Asian Diasporic Visual Cultures and the Americas (ADVA) is a new
peer-reviewed journal that features multidisciplinary scholarship on
intersections between visual culture studies and the study of Asian
diasporas across the Americas. Perspectives on and from North, Central
and South America, as well as the Pacific Islands and the Caribbean are
presented to encourage the hemispheric transnational study of multiple
Americas with diverse indigenous and diasporic populations. The journal
explores visual culture in all its multifaceted forms, including, but
not limited to, visual arts, craft, cinema, film, performing arts,
public art, architecture, design, fashion, media, sound, food,
networked practices, and popular culture.

Published twice annually with one double issue, each issue features
academic articles,reviews of a wide range of visual cultural
production, including books, films, and exhibitions, as well as full
colour artist pages. The journal welcomes transnational and
transhistorical as well as site-based scholarly critique and
investigation on visual cultures that engage with historical, material,
cultural and political contextualizations within current discussions on
race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, dis/ability and class as well as
aesthetics, ethics, epistemologies, and technologies of visuality.
Transcultural areas of investigation in the humanities, including
Asian-Indigenous collaborations, historical formulations of Afro-Asian
connections, and studies on transnational subjects of mixed-race
heritage, are welcome.

The editors invite manuscript submissions in the form of articles
(approximately 5,000-6,000 words), reviews (800-1,000 words) as well as
proposed artist pages (up to 6 pages), which enrich, advance and expand
the study of visual cultures in diverse Asian diasporic communities
across the Americas, conceived of in the broadest way.

Deadlines: June 1, 2015 for the Spring Double Issue; December 1 for the
Fall Issue. The Journal accepts proposals and submissions all year
round on a rolling basis.
