*Call for Papers*



 *2024 Special Issue: Framing Dance in the Digital-global Era*

The *Asian Dance Journal* is seeking papers for the annual special issue on
the topic of 'Framing Dance in the Digital-global Era.' Since 2020 dance
makers and presenters expanded their use of digital platforms. Digitization
of dance is expanding and entering a new stage of development, enhanced
through online distribution. In our special issue on 'Framing Dance in the
Digital-global Era' we will bring together articles that encompass the
changes and challenges of our changing dance ecosystem. We ask, how does
the vertical screen of a cell phone, featuring a dance challenge that
attracts viewers from all over the world alter the creation and
interpretation of dance? How do international dance events held via Zoom
affect our experience of dance? How do dance competitions judged by global
public votes change dance styles? We are seeking articles that might
address concerns such as:

• How dance is technologically framed by the use of digital platforms for
presentation, and how different types of viewers may be attracted by
different framing

• How dance viewing audiences encounter, interact, and appreciate dance
differently in the digital format than audiences attending a live
presentation in a venue

• How consideration of the digital platform shifts the creative process for
choreographers and dancers, and incorporates new artistic collaborators
that specialize in presentation in virtual contexts

• How technology can be used to enhance dance in new ways for online viewers

• The role of online dance consumption in shifting understandings and
awarenesses of what is dance, and who is a dancer

• Discourse analysis of dance critics or other audiences encountering
online dance

• Framing analysis of how dance is used in online advertisements

• Performance analysis of concert-length works performed for a digital
audience

• Ethnographic explorations of the work of choreographers who experimented
with online dance presentation in the early pandemic and how their framing
of their dance in the so-called post-pandemic era shifted as a result

• Analysis of dance-related educational efforts, even in conventional
lecture format, performed online during the pandemic

• As well as articles specifically on topics such as dance challenges and
viral dance trends


We hope to receive many contributions from researchers on the dance
ecosystem framed by the digital-global era. The deadline for submissions
for the special issue is May 1st. However, the journal accepts submissions
throughout the year on any topic related to Asian dance (in or out of
Asia).

Articles are accepted in English and Korean.

*Asian Dance Journal* (ADJ), the academic journal of The Society for Dance
Documentation & History (SDDH), contributes to the establishment and
development of dance studies by publishing original academic papers,
professional book reviews, and academic materials. ADJ is indexed by the
National Research Foundation of Korea and is published regularly 4 times a
year (March 31, June 30, September 30, December 31). ADJ, which strives to
become a more global academic journal, is always seeking academic papers
and professional book reviews in English as well as Korean, on any topic
related to Asian dance, dance in Asia, or dance related to Asian traditions
or by Asian dancers performed anywhere in the world.
