Title: "Hispanic global aesthetics: Literature, Cinema and Television".

Acceptance of proposals for the section “Notebook”: from 15th September to 10th December, 2017.

The concepts of globalization, transnationality and glocalization have, in recent years, been defined and thematized in numerous academic publications. Within the framework of Film and Literature Studies, however, the aesthetic-glocal approach has often been subjugated to other political and social interests, such as the transformation of the various film/literary industries, the power of film festivals/book fairs and international co-production mechanisms. Therefore, we propose the publication of an issue that includes, in a transmedial framework, the in-depth study of those aesthetic proposals that share the same conception of literary and cinematographic practice, including also television. Is there a cinematographic/literary/television aesthetic of its own and shared between the Spanish-speaking countries? To what extent do the works of authors produced in these countries differ from the independent productions made in other world cinematographies/literatures? Is it possible to produce interesting television series for the Hispanic community of viewers with a risky aesthetic proposal that differs from the US hegemonic success model?

This issue will address these topics taking into account the Hispanic productions made in the last fifteen years, especially those minority artistic expressions that seek to claim an original voice in a global market filled with forms of expression of mass success. And, always taking into account that L'Atalante focuses on Cinematographic Studies, published articles will avoid focusing exclusively on literary issues, without putting them in relation to audiovisual texts, which are the object of study of the journal.

Some of the questions to be addressed in this issue will be:

• What aesthetics predominate in the Hispanic transnational scope?
• What are the subaltern or alternative aesthetic models?
• Can aesthetic communication links be established between different creators in the region?
• To what extent does geo-politics influence aesthetic conceptualization?
• What is the reception of such Hispanic aesthetics?

L'Atalante. Revista de estudios cinematográficos accepts submissions of unpublished essays on topics related to film theory and/or praxis that stand out for their innovative nature. Articles should focus on approaches to the cinematographic fact made preferably from the perspectives of historiography or audiovisual analysis. Those texts that approach novel objects of study with rigorous and well-evidenced methodologies will be appreciated. Articles that take as their main reference the processes of signification through the analysis of the audiovisual form and/or the narratological elements specific to our field, focusing on methodologies specifically related to the treatment of the image will be favoured in the selection process. Although we accept works with other methodologies that approach the filmic fact from transversal perspectives (Cultural Studies, philological approaches, etc.) we consider that the main interest of the journal is located on the studies that take the specifically cinematographic expressive tools as the main elements of discourse. Likewise, texts that are not limited to describing, enumerating or summarizing details of the plot, but that rigorously apply a specific and well-evidenced analysis methodology, reaching particular and novel results, will be given priority.

Below are a few aspects to keep in mind:

• Submissions must be original and must conform to the submission guidelines of the journal and to the standards and scientific rigour expected of an academic publication.
• Submissions will be evaluated for the originality of the topic explored, especially if it relates to an issue not previously addressed in the publication. Submissions dealing with topics previously addressed in the journal may be rejected. The content of the issues published to date can be consulted on the journal's website.
• All submissions will undergo an external peer review process that will respect the anonymity of both authors and reviewers (double blind peer review) in an effort to prevent any possibility of bias. In the event of a very high number of submissions, the Editorial Board will make a prior selection of the articles to be peer reviewed, choosing the articles deemed the most appropriate for the issue. Failure to observe the submission guidelines and/or standards of originality and academic rigour will result in rejection of the submission by the Editorial Board without external review.
• Authors of accepted submissions will be contacted within six months.
• Articles (which should be between 5,000 and 7,000 words including all sections) must be submitted via the website of the journal as .rtf, .odt or .docx files, using the template provided for the purpose. Files containing the author's statement (.pdf) and any images (.psd, .png, .jpg, .tiff) must be uploaded to the website as complementary files. A detailed version of the submission guidelines can be found at the following link. Any articles that fail to meet these requirements will be rejected automatically.
• If the L'Atalante team decide to publish the issue in which you article will appear in a bilingual edition, you will be required to provide the translation and cover the costs of proofreading the text (in some cases, this cost may be waived for students and unemployed researchers who provide proof of status).
• L'Atalante does not offer any compensation for published articles. For more information: info@revistaatalante.com
