Call for Papers

The Australian and New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA) invites submissions for the ANZCA09 Conference, Communication, Creativity and Global Citizenship, to be held at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Creative Industries Precinct, Brisbane, Australia, from July 8-10, 2009. The deadline for all abstracts and refereed papers will be Friday 5th February 2009.

Communication exists as an everyday social practice, as a skill or art applied in a range of contexts (business, politics, entertainment, etc.), as an application of media technologies to reach audiences and communities, and as an interdisciplinary field for teaching, research and scholarship, and community engagement. As creativity is increasingly sought as a socio-cultural practice whose application extends beyond the arts to all aspects of economic and social life, new challenges are being presented for the application of communication in a range of contexts.

Digital media technologies enable new modes of social networking and participation that challenge the sender-receiver, producer-consumer orthodoxies of 20th century mass media and mass communication. Meanwhile, the challenges of globalisation and multicultural societies are presenting both the need and the opportunity for new forms of citizenship that cross national boundaries. These challenges raise questions of global citizenship and public communication spaces that require new attention to be given to questions of global media ethics and intercultural communicative capacities.

ANZCA09 welcomes papers from across a range of academic disciplines, including-but not exclusive to-advertising; business and marketing communication; communication studies; digital media and Internet studies; cultural studies; film, media, radio, and television studies; journalism; organisational and interpersonal communication; public relations; and the creative, visual, and performing arts. We particularly welcome the contribution of creative and professional practitioners, as well as those involved in leading-edge research in relevant academic fields.

The ANZCA09 Conference is particularly seeking papers and panels that:

*    Engage international and comparative research perspectives;
*    Address questions of intercultural communications media and professional practice, including teaching and pedagogical practice;
*    Challenge and work across disciplinary boundaries and established methodologies;
*    Critically address the role of communication in creative problem-solving;
*    Consider the implications of social networking media and participatory media cultures in challenging the dominance of the 20th century mass communications paradigm.
