Chapter contributions for edited volume "Cozy Media"

Category: Publication

We are seeking chapter contributions for an edited volume published by Amsterdam University Press, tentatively titled Cozy Media. The book will investigate the various meanings of coziness across media. Over the last five years, the adjective cozy has become more commonly used to describe comfort brought by media and their users’ experiences. After the global Covid-19 pandemic, the popularity of cozy in journalistic and social media discourse increased. It is now often used to describe video games, novels, playlists of low-fi or otherwise chill music, ASMR videos designed to help one unwind and relax, reality television shows centering crafting, cooking, tinkering, and fishing, or lifestyle social media influencers creating content on pre-digital hobbies, romanticizing the everyday and the mundane, from tradwives to BookTok.

Initiator(s):
Cozy Media Network

Deadline: 31.03.2025
