This Special Collection of articles for the Open Library of Humanities (OLH) will examine the critical and often complex relationship between television and film when popular television programmes are re-made for the big screen. The collection therefore aims to illuminate the complex networks of knowledge involved in this process, and to encourage a variety of critical approaches to examining the TV-to-Screen transition.
Papers can include, but are not restricted to, examinations of the transitional processes of:
- Industry and production values
- Narrative development
- Character/personnel changes and/or development
- Plot and scenario transitions
- Original versus adaptation
- Failures and successes
- Long Form versus Seriality
- The television to screen phenomenon
Research articles should be approximately 8,000 words in length, including references and a short bibliography. Submissions should comprise of:
- Abstract (250 words)
- Full-length article (8,000 words)
- Author information (short biographical statement of 200 words)
The deadline for submission is April 4, 2016.
The special collection, edited by Kenneth Longden, is to be published in the Open Library of Humanities (OLH) (ISSN 2056-6700).
