Each M/C Reviews feature section is a themed group of reviews centring on a particular cultural event, category, or genre. In line with M/C Reviews' general rationale that the diverse productions of media and culture demand a more comprehensive type of review forum than other fields, the aim of the feature sections is to provide a space for reflecting upon key cultural phenomena in their various aspects and from different angles, sometimes conflicting ones. This breaks through the normal drawback of reviews -- i.e. that they usually come in ones and present monological visions. The whole concept arises from the unique characteristics of electronic publishing -- its short production cycles and abundance of publication space allow plural and timely treatments of relevant issues. |
