Professor in Film and Media Studies @ErnestMathijs is part of the core board of @Participations_ , a journal of audience & reception studies, & has been hard at work on the development of a brand-new website! More info: bit.ly/3xewGf3 #audiencestudies #filmstudies

Featuring a section of 9 general articles on diverse topics such as transnational audience mobility, telenovelas, film festival adaptation during COVID-19, and fan fic; in addition to a themed section on the dynamics of film audiences, there should be something for all!

New issue alert! Volume 19, Issue 2 is now live: participations.org 1/2

The issue is rounded out with Part 2 of the themed issue on International Film Audiences: Industrial and Academic perspectives. We hope you enjoy the new issue!

Firstly: we have an array of general papers on topics such as transnational audiences and #streaming; middle aged female #fans of #KPop; #theatre performances on Zoom; and #books as #souvenirs 2/3

Issue 19.1 of #Participations is now live! participations.org/issues/ 1/3

I’m teaching my first lecture on the Researching Audiences module at Northumbria tomorrow, so naturally I’m thinking of Martin and all he taught me. Will be dedicating the lecture to his memory and ensuring the students know what an important scholar he was ❤️

@kte75 Hope it goes brilliantly Kate 💙

@Tominee The website is back online now, including the archives of all past issues. Thanks for your patience.

@Participations_ Any updates? Or is there any other place to get PDFs of the articles published?

@Participations_ Any idea when your website will be up and running again? I'm getting 'domain suspended' errors.

The new site includes all past issues. Volume 19 Issue 1 will be released shortly, with 19.2 to follow in the coming months. Thanks for your patience while we restored the archive. 2/2

We're pleased to announce the new look @Participations_ site: participations.org Now hosted by the @dhishef the new platform will remain open access in line with the late Professor Martin Barker’s vision for the journal to remain free and open access 1/2

His vision was for a journal that was truly open access, had transparent reviewing policies, would support junior colleagues and could act as a gathering point for audience scholars no matter their disciplinary background. We are committed to continuing his legacy in the future.

Everyone who works on Participations was devastated to learn of Martin Barker’s death. His wisdom, generosity and kindness offered an example of the best an academic could be. He created Participations as a space to share and celebrate audience research. 2/3
