Call for Proposals: New Book Series “TV-Philosophy”

The University of Exeter Press invites proposals for a new book series “TV-Philosophy,” edited by Sandra Laugier (University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne).

To underline TV’s coming of age, this new philosophy series puts TV centre-stage to new investigations of how we think, feel and interact in daily life. It acknowledges the lessons of Cavell's philosophical view of popular culture, but seeks to establish TV-Philosophy as an autonomous field, teasing out particularities of the TV experience.

Proposals are invited from scholars at all career stages. Both long- and short-form volumes will be considered. TV-Philosophy welcomes explorations of particular TV series formats, such as dystopian fiction, family drama, security series or political thriller, as well as investigations of other TV genres, such as nature documentary, TV history and comedy. Interdisciplinary studies and collaborations are of particular interest; also sole-authored reflections on the medium. Scholars of moral philosophy, film studies, digital media and cultural studies, sociology, law and political science are all welcomed.
