Call for Chapters: Women, Religion, and the Media 2012-08-28T15:04:00-05:00 Andre E. Johnson

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Doing a feminist rhetorical reading of news coverage of Ava Kay Jones, the Voodoo priestess at New Orleans Saints football games? Conducting a media study of Hindu women film directors and producers? Got a discourse analysis of online fans invoking the name of God in True Blood femslash? Submit a book chapter for a proposed edited collection situated at the intersection of media, women, and religion.

You are invited to reach this crossroads by any combination of paths. A variety of rhetorical criticism, critical/cultural media studies, and other qualitative communication methodologies are welcome. A focus on transwomen or any other productive complication of the category of “women” is encouraged. All religions, including any of the monotheist and polytheist world traditions, will be considered. Media artifacts must be electronic (television shows, films, websites, podcasts, political news coverage, music, etc. Sorry, no books or magazines), but can be from any country and time period, and need not be explicitly religious to include a religious reading.

Deadline is October 31.
