In the wake of what we thought was a very productive Conditions of Mediation ICA preconference in June 2013, Tim Markham and I are now preparing a proposal for an edited book under the same title. The proposed format of the book is to have a substantive introduction, two ‘dialogues’ involving Graham Harman, Lisa Parks, Paddy Scannell, Shaun Moores, Nick Couldry and David Berry (based on their keynote papers), and 10-12 short paper chapters of 4000 words (excluding bibliography).

So we’re issuing an Open Call for Chapter Proposals. Anyone interested in contributing a chapter to this edited book should send a chapter title and 400 word abstract by no later than 15 September 2013 to me at s.rodgers@bbk.ac.uk. Those that are subsequently invited to submit a full chapter will need to have this completed by 1 March 2014.

If you have any questions, just get in touch with me at s.rodgers@bbk.ac.uk. You can find out more about the Conditions of Mediation conference themes be following the link.
