About the Journal
Art, text, and media are part of increasingly complex and proliferating systems and networks. Cinégraphia: Journal of Literature, Film, and Other Media, an international journal published by the Sydney Literature and Cinema Network, explores the cutting edges of diverse textual, creative, and media-based intersections and synergies. Its basic mission is to trace the aesthetics and politics of traditional and new media forms, inviting contributions on cinema, literature, television, digital media, graphic media, audio, and their myriad relational possibilities. Cinégraphia: Journal of Literature, Film, and Other Media maintains rigorous intellectual and scholarly peer-review standards and invites contributions from scholars, creative practitioners, and industry personnel.
The journal publishes contributions in several forms, including scholarly articles, interviews, reviews, and video essays. Across this variety of forms, the common goals include enhancing text and media-based studies of cinema, literature, digital media, audio, and other forms by emphasising relationality and intersectionality, bringing together diverse forms of research investigation and production, exploring intermedial possibilities across audio-visual forms, creating dialogues with textual artefacts, and illuminating aesthetic and political entanglements and co-dependencies, as they emerge between literary and visual cultures.
