/Sea Change: Transforming Industries, Screens, Texts/

The Screen Studies Association of Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand in 
conjunction with Victoria University of Wellington will hold the first 
biennial SSAAANZ conference in Wellington from November 23-25 2016. This 
inaugural conference presents a unique opportunity to reassess the links 
between film, media, culture and society in Australia and Aotearoa New 
Zealand. While categories such as location and nation remain important 
to the cultural industries of both countries, significant economic, 
technological and social developments mean that our understandings of 
identity and place are evolving constantly. Australia and New Zealand 
are not only nations, but also islands that share an ocean with numerous 
other countries and cultures. The changing mediascapes are evident in 
the continuing relationships with media industries of the United States, 
but also in emerging connections and cultural exchanges with Asia and 
the Pacific.

While we invite scholarly presentations that address the conference 
themes below, we also welcome general papers on any area of Film, 
Television and Media Studies.

   * The relationship between Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand and/or
     Pacific rim screen industries and cultures
   * Local and regional cinemas
   * Geographies of Australia, New Zealand and Pasifika media
   * New histories of Australian and/or Aotearoa New Zealand screen
     industries and cultures
   * Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Māori, and
     Pasifika film and television practices
   * Economic, government and regulatory influences on Australia and
     Aotearoa New Zealand screen industries
   * Creative personnel and Trans-Tasman success
   * New theoretical approaches to Screen Studies
   * Changing distribution and exhibition practices
   * Gender and sexuality in Australia and/or Aotearoa New Zealand screen
     cultures
   * Critiques of labour circulation and practices in the Australian and
     Aotearoa New Zealand screen industries
   * New perspectives on local and regional screen audiences
   * Digital media and transnationalism
   * The effects of globalization on local and regional film and media
   * New interpretations of Australian and New Zealand film and media
     texts, genres, cycles and aesthetics


Individual papers will be 20 minutes in length. Pre-constituted panels 
are welcome.

Please send abstracts of 150-200 words to (ssaaanz /at/ gmail.com) 
<mailto:(ssaaanz /at/ gmail.com)> by June 15, 2016. Abstracts should include 
name, institutional affiliation, full contact details, and a short 
biographical note.
