Call for abstracts: Textures of Digital Entertainment

2026-03-16

This special issue seeks to foreground digital entertainment as an experiential, aesthetic, and practice-based phenomenon. We invite contributions that examine what entertainment feels like, how it structures attention and distraction, and how emerging formats reshape everyday life. From short-form video and ambient gaming to parasocial livestream “hangouts,” ASMR, cozy games, hybrid meme aesthetics, and mood-based playlists, contemporary entertainment formats generate distinct sensory grammars and micro-temporal rhythms that organise everyday engagement.
