Framework is interested in the possibilities of what an academic journal can do. In Focus, Framework focuses, periodically, on a particular subject and uses its platform, currently, as a way to add to the public conversations around prison and prejudice, and the avant-garde.
Prison USA
American imprisonment and incarceration’s consequences and realities, as topics, have begun to emerge, in the last few years, in the public dialogue and have become recognized increasingly as complicated and urgent. Equally, the social fascination with crime and punishment as a form of entertainment continues, perhaps more than ever.
Framework started this section, called PRISON USA, in 2016 in a desire to add to the public conversation about the reality of prison and of social justice, by compiling eclectic information that comes from both spheres, divided here as REAL and RENDITION. These sections, obviously, don’t divide easily and the intention is to offer more routes to more ideas about how we, as a nation, see prison and how we incorporate its existence.
PREJUDICE NOW
In PREJUDICE NOW, started in 2016, Framework invites a guest columnist to write a piece, of any length, choosing a film or television program that has come out within the last year, and to discuss it in terms of how her or his own prejudice is provoked or to examine a film or program in terms of how prejudice appears in it.
AUDIO-VISUAL
Framework's AUDIO-VISUAL section features curated programs, avant-garde films, streaming, live symposiums, interviews, and salons.
