Science Fiction Film and Television
is a biannual, peer-reviewed journal
published by Liverpool University Press. Edited by
Mark Bould (UWE) and
Sherryl Vint (Brock
University), with an international board of advisory editors, it encourages
dialogue among the scholarly and intellectual communities of film studies,
sf studies and television studies.
We invite submissions on all areas of sf
film and television. We publish work that situates texts, practices and
institutions within broader national, historical, cultural, theoretical and
critical contexts. In addition to popular and contemporary works, we are
interested in articles which consider critically neglected texts and
traditions, propose innovative ways of looking at canonical texts, or
explore the tensions and synergies that emerge from the interaction of genre
and medium. We encourage work that considers the specificities of the genre
and medium, the science-fictionality of media technologies and forms
themselves, and the relationships between globalisation, transnationalism,
media convergence and sf.
