ANZCA 2012 ADELAIDE: Communicating Change and Changing Communication in the 21st Century

Call for Paper
The Australian and New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA), is a
professional association for researchers, teachers, and practitioners in
the diverse disciplines of media and communication in Australia and
Aotearoa New Zealand. The annual conference is a major event in the ANZCA
calendar, and attracts delegates from across the globe. The conference
provides members with valuable professional development opportunities,
including scholarly publication, networking and presentation, and learning
about the latest national and international trends in media and
communications research, teaching and learning. Research students are
encouraged and supported to take advantage of formal and informal mentoring
opportunities afforded by participation in the conference, especially the
preconference research and postgraduate mentoring forum and other
activities of the association.

The 2012 ANZCA Conference will be held in Adelaide at the picturesque North
Terrace campuses of the Universities of Adelaide and the University of
South Australia from 4-6 July 2012, with a pre-conference postgraduate
research workshop on 3 July.
Conference Theme
When the Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that the world is in constant
flux, and that opposites are intrinsically linked, the world did not
understand him. But today we can confidently say that the only constant in
our current global dispensation is change itself. We have witnessed
dramatic changes since the World Wide Web became user friendly.

The pace of communication technology has ensured that we can no longer step
into the same river twice. Our economic values have changed from landed
assets to digital assets. We have witnessed changes from media consumers to
=91produsers=92. We have witnessed changes in movies from Hollywood to
Bollywood and from Bollywood to Nollywood. We have witnessed news making
change from rich nations to poor nations and from the elite to ordinary
citizens. We have witnessed and are still witnessing the effects of people
power in the gulf region through the use of social media. We have become
circumspect in defining our geopolitical and spatiotemporal spaces,
especially as we witness the unfolding of new political landscapes and
movements.

Shifting the post or posting the shift in Global events? The question is
how have media and communication institutions been communicating these
changes, and how have these changes affected the way media and
communication operate in the 21st century. What other changes are we likely
to witness in the near future? We are therefore interested in papers which
explore the issue of change from different media and communication
perspectives. For example, how has change affected public relations
practices, or journalistic practices, or community and citizen media and,
how have these media practices affected or influenced change?

Papers and abstracts addressing these issues should be submitted by 09
March 2012 for the referred stream, and 20 April 2012 for the non-referred
papers. However all abstracts are due by 09 March 2012. ANZCA conferences
have the flexibility of two types of paper acceptance modes: the fully
referred stream which conforms to Australian and NZ research publication
guidelines, and a non-refereed stream. Some Stream Coordinators have
developed individual calls for papers for their streams. Every referred
paper undergoes double blind peer review processes and has the option to be
published in the edited conference proceeding. Non-refereed conference
papers are not published in the proceedings.

ANZCA conference publications use the APA referencing style. Papers are not
limited to the listed streams. If your research falls outside any of the
listed streams but fits within the conference theme, it will be considered
under the open stream. Papers should not be more than 5000 words in length.
State whether you would want your paper to be refereed or not. The paper
should include an abstract of not more than 300 words with your
institutional affiliation. All papers and abstracts should be sent directly
to the stream coordinators listed against each stream or to
(anzca2012 /at/ unisa.edu.au) if the paper does not fall under any of the listed
streams. Please note that all accepted abstracts will be published in the
conference program while only fully referred papers will be published in
the conference proceeding. If your paper does not fall under any of the
listed streams it will be considered under the open stream.
