Scope/Description:

An early and popular form of film projector bioscope was widely used to refer to the cinema in twentieth century South Asia. By focusing on the words component parts we highlight the expanding spectrum of forms involved in thinking about the relationship of life to visual and sound technologies. From the orbit of film television and video we invite research into a wide historical and contemporary canvas from precinematic forms of assembly through to contemporary computer practices game cultures multimedia telephony ambient television surveillance cameras and the wide range of materials assembled on the internet. Our interests also extend to new media arts and contemporary screenbased art installations.BioScope South Asian Screen Studies is a blind peerreviewed journal published biannually starting January 2010. We encourage theoretical and empirical research both on located screen practices and wider networks linkages and patterns of circulation. This involves research into the historical regional and virtual spaces of screen cultures including globalized and multisited conditions of production and circulation.There is special attention given to archival research and field work. This includes documentation and ethnographic enquiry into media institutions and industries and their modes of regulation for example the policies debates and practices of urban administration censorship regimes and intellectual property regulation.Our concern with old and new media forms invites work not only on changing technologies but also on the spaces within which media experience is organized including changing architecture and design and an enquiry into spatial forms and histories.
