About the Fellowships

??Up to eight Vectors Fellowships will be awarded to individuals or teams of collaborators in the early- to mid-stages of development of a scholarly multimedia project related to the themes of Reading or Noise. Completed projects will be included in Volume 4 of the journal in 2008. Vectors features next-generation multimedia scholarship, and is interested in publishing work for an array of screens that includes the Web-based edition of the journal as well as other networked and mobile formats.

Volume Four, Issue One: Reading

This issue will foreground a lesson implicit in every project Vectors publishes:

our reading practices are profoundly shaped by shifting relations of form to content. This issue encourages diverse examinations of the many ways in which the intersections of technology and culture inform, impede, or otherwise impact the ways in which we read, in the past, in the present, and even in the future. We are interested in a broadly-conceived notion of reading, one which can engage with text, images, screens, interfaces, physical environments, diverse literacies, and more. We invite applicants to consider the forms of reading that will be structured by the projects they propose to create. In particular, we seek engagements with reading that foreground the ideological, cultural, or politicized aspects of reading.

Possible areas of investigation include but are not limited to:

- reading and the relations of power
- the future of reading
- histories of reading, technology, and culture
- reading in public/public reading
