>For Volume 5, No. 2 of the Journal (1999) we are seeking papers
>relating to research projects or case studies on the archaeology of new
>media. This special issue is prompted by the question: Is it possible to
>analyse and "historicise" the study of digital media in the same way
>that cinema scholars and art historians have revised certain
>teleological accounts of cinema's evolution?
>
>In particular, we are looking for papers that deal with the possible
>parallels that might be drawn between the two areas of research --
>cinema and new media:
>
>*  historical accounts of cinema, radio, music, television, video and
>other electronic artforms that throw light upon and draw relation to
>current developments in the field of new media
>
>*  case studies of corporate and/or aesthetic strategies dealing with
>the impact of new technologies on "old" (existing) media
>
>*  theoretical and/or historical articles that deal critically with the
>evolution
>of new media forms, from the 19th century to the present
>
>*  analyses of the convergence of the institutions of cinema with new
>formations of media enterprises in the digital age
>
>*  analyses of specific artworks or products in light of the complex
>historical, technological and economic forces that influence them
>
