Aims & Scope

 

Northern Lights is a peer-reviewed international publication dedicated to studies of film and media. The yearbook is a meeting place for European and global perspectives on film and media. The editors stress the importance of interdisciplinary research and welcome contributions on both old and new media.

 

The journal focuses on the interplay between film and media and their cultural and social context. Film and media have emerged as important institutions of modern society at the same time as mobile and interactive media technologies become integrated into the fabric of wider culture and society. The development of new social networks, changes in political communication and governance and the changing relationship between art, culture and commercial markets are important aspects of these new dynamics.

 

Northern Lights is published once a year and takes the form of a book-length anthology of articles related to a specific theme.
