Journal of Information Ethics Call for Papers
Documentary films combine "message" and "metaphor" to balance arguments (message) with narrative, visual effects, symbolic imagery, and score (metaphor). Ethical issues are crucial because documentary filmmakers use message and metaphor to make representations or mount arguments about subjects to persuade audiences of their views. The Journal of Information Ethics invites essays that analyze how ethics shape the filmmaker's representation of a subject in a specific documentary and/or the audience's reception of the film. Please submit 250 word abstract ASAP and a 10-20 page manuscript by March 1, 2009 to Chris Jordan at cjjordan@stcloudstate.edu. Use current American Psychological Association guidelines.
