New open access journal Dastavezi: The Audio-Visual South Asia
CrossAsia recently published the first volume
of the new open access journal Dastavezi: The Audio-Visual South Asia. It
is a journal for scholars and filmmakers, filmmakers as scholars, and
filmmaking scholars working on regional and transregional South Asia. The
journal provides a platform for linking audio-visual and scholarly practice
from and on South Asia.
Dastavezi is an open-access archive of audio-visual
knowledge. By providing films published in the journal with Digital Object
Identifier (DOI) numbers, Dastavezi
encourages filmmakers and scholars working on South Asia to cite documentary
film as a legitimate source of academic production. Furthermore, it aims to
make the films accessible to audiences beyond the structures of the market
domain.
