Call for Papers for the very first issue of Kaleidoscope: The Journal of
Alternative Media and Social Movements

Kafka Kitap, led by Bar?? Çoban and Bora Ataman, initiated a new book
series titled Alternative Media and Social Movements at the beginning of
2015, in Turkey. The series, which consists of translated and original
books, is intended to be a prolific and efficient discussion platform
focused on media and resistance for scholars from several disciplines in
the Turkish speaking world of academy.

Kaleidoscope features academic works on alternative media practices that
are structured around democratic participation, rights-based journalism,
amateur-professional solidarity in content production, anti-capitalist
structuring, and egalitarian and autonomous experiences. It is an
interdisciplinary medium that aims to promote researches and works on
social movements which strive for rights, justice, and equality, rebelling
against the dominance of global capitalism and media arising within and
intertwined with these movements.

The 21st century?s new media platform; characterized by convergence,
digitalization and interactivity, has intensified the relationship between
alternative media and social movements, and integrated them. The boundaries
of traditional media research ? mostly categorized according to its focus
on institution, content and audience - are becoming indistinct. Differences
between various familiar dualities such as the organizational and the
individual, the individual and society, the local and the global, producers
and viewers/consumers/users, etc., are gradually becoming trivial or need
to be re-assessed on the platform of fragmented and fluid new media of our
times. A similar perspective also reveals that the relationships between
the traditional new media and the former ?new social movements? are also
undergoing transformation. Strong empirical research and critical
theoretical discussions are required in order to grasp the effects of these
changes and transformations on both the movements themselves and also on
the internal structures and operation of media, and to comprehend the key
roles they play on social transformation from a larger perspective.

The journal aims to extend the intersection set between alternative ?new?
media studies and social movement research in order to meet this
requirement. Therefore, it also seeks to support the comprehension,
interpretation and transformation efforts of the participants of social
movements, along with activist-academicians that have a hybrid identity
with indefinite borders within the alternative universe. With a dual
perspective that does not detach works on alternative media and social
movements from each other, Kaleidoscope aspires to become a social science
journal which mainly focuses on the following issues:

·         Economic structure, sustainability and relational networks of
social movements/media


·         Alternative media and pre-figurative politics


·         Power relations and organizational structure within media
institutions and/or social movements


·         Degree of independence and relations with/to power


·         Autonomous decision making process and practices


·         Text/content production and action/programme organization based
on participation, sharing and solidarity


·         Alternative ethics


·         Struggle against legal and illegal (economic, political, legal
and cultural) pressures and violence of global and local hegemonies.


·         The relational history of social movements and alternative media.


With quality research articles, book reviews, forums and views from the
field, the journal aims to become medium force in the global arena for
newly emerging social science research under the title ?alternative media
and social movements.?

For the first issue, however, we would like to focus on the theoretical and
methodological challenges concerning the convergence of two academic
disciplines: alternative media and social movements.



Information for the journal

The journal will be published annually both in print and online starting in
December, 2016. The language of the journal is English. It is an open
access journal with six months embargo period. During this period all the
original articles and research papers will be offered at a lower,
affordable price for the research community. However, any subscriber who do
not have sufficient resources will be supported. Therefore, there won?t be
any submission fees for the authors. Basic subscription will be free of
charge and allow subscribers to reach various content such as reviews,
reportages, field notes etc. The first issue will be disseminated freely to
esteemed academic institutions and libraries around the world. Detailed
subscription policies and procedures will be announced later in this year.
The web site of the journal is now under construction and planned to be
active before July.

For the time being please contact the Editors at boraataman@???

oerkmen@??? <mailto:oerkmen@dogus.edu.tr> for administrative
