DESCRIPTION:<p>SDSU Press Presents</p>\n<p>[caption] the journal of visual cultural studies</p>\n<p>Issue 001 &ndash\; &ldquo\;CAPTION THIS&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>[caption] emerges from the collision of theory and spectacle. Annual\, audacious\, and gloriously hybrid\, the journal stages encounters between scholarship and image-making&mdash\;where Arbus&rsquo\;s restless gaze meets the ghosts of Benjamin\, Mulvey\, and Stuart Hall. We publish work that refuses to choose between seeing and thinking\, between the archive and the avant-garde.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>For our inaugural issue\, [caption] invites artists\, scholars\, critics\, practitioners\, and cultural troublemakers to submit work that interrogates the visual in all its unruly forms: cinema\, photography\, fashion\, design\, streaming culture\, digital media\, and the mutating semiotics of contemporary screens. Bring us the work that won&rsquo\;t sit still. Bring us the visual theory that insists on being seen.</p>\n<p><strong>We encourage collaboration between great writers and great artists to submit:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scholarly essays that converse with\, challenge\, or rewire traditions of visual and cultural theory</li>\n<li>Short-form visual essays\, photo sequences\, and experimental image-driven criticism</li>\n<li>Reflections on archival practices\, media histories\, and the politics of looking</li>\n<li>Creative-critical hybrids\, fragments\, manifestos\, and works that defy categorization</li>\n<li>Interviews or dialogues with artists\, thinkers\, and makers</li>\n<li>Short speculative writings on media futures\, digital hauntings\, and the aesthetics of surveillance</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>[caption] is part gallery\, part think tank\, part cultural s&eacute\;ance. We publish work that understands every image as an argument and every theory as a pose. We seek submissions that look back\, look with\, and look otherwise&mdash\;pieces alive with curiosity\, unruliness\, and rigor.</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Submission Guidelines:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Short scholarly essays captioning visual cultural art/work/artist/study: 500-3\,000 words</li>\n<li>Visual or hybrid works: up to 15 images with accompanying text (300&ndash\;1\,000 words)</li>\n<li>Interviews: up to 4\,000 words</li>\n<li>All submissions should include a short artist/scholar bio (100 words)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>More at </strong><a href="http://sdsupress.sdsu.edu/caption"><strong>sdsupress.sdsu.edu/caption</strong><strong></strong></a></p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p><strong>EXTENDED Deadline: March 1\, 2026</strong></p>\n<p><strong><br> </strong><strong>Refer questions and send submissions to Joey King: </strong><a href="mailto:jking3@sdsu.edu"><strong>jking3@sdsu.edu</strong></a><strong>&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p><em>Join us in making [caption] a space where vision becomes discourse&mdash\;and discourse dares to look back.</em></p>
