Philosophy
Our aim is to create a forum which takes an interdisciplinary approach to visual cultural studies. Conceptually, we see this journal as focusing on the moving image and all its manifestations.
We want to endorse a non-exclusive treatment of visual culture and will look for cross-disciplinary, cross-technological, and cross-cultural perspectives of our field to make up the content of the journal.
Our staff includes members of UCLA’s School of Film, Television and Digital Media and represents both the field of critical studies, as well as the moving image archive program.
We are interested in the constantly changing face of our field and the places where it crosses over into other disciplines.
Interdisciplinary scholarship brings the issue of vocabulary, terminology, and language in general to the fore.
It is our intent that Mediascape be a place to explore the cross-pollination of perspectives, approaches, media, and culture that make up the ecology of our growing field.
