Animation: An Interdisciplinary Journal will provide the first  
cohesive international refereed publishing platform for animation  
that unites contributions from a wide range of research agendas and  
creative practice.

The journal's scope is very comprehensive, yet its focus is clear and  
simple. The journal addresses all animation made using all known (and  
yet to be developed) techniques - from 16th century optical devices  
to contemporary digital media - revealing its implications on other  
forms of time-based media expression past, present and future.

Animation: An Interdisciplinary Journal will be essential and  
stimulating reading for academics, researchers, students, curators  
and practitioners in animation, film and media studies, cultural  
studies, critical theory, architecture, art & design, computer  
sciences, games studies and visual culture.

The first two issues will include:
	*	Comics and the critique of chronophotography, or "He never knew  
when it was coming!" Scott Bukatman
	*	The Cathedral is alive: animating biomimetic architecture Dennis  
Dollens
	*	A critique for the new historical landscape of South Korean  
animation Joon-Yang Kim
	*	Platonic sex: perversion and sh?jo anime (part 1) Thomas Lamarre
	*	Image future Lev Manovich
	*	Ub Iwerks' (multi)plain cinema J.P. Telotte
	*	Re-animating space Aylish Wood
	*	All aboard The Polar Express: A 'playful' change of address in the  
computer-generated blockbuster Jessica Aldred
	*	From shadow citizens to teflon stars: reception of the  
transfiguring effects of new image technologies Lisa Bode
