[csaa-forum] Call for Papers Periphery and Place

[Miriam Ross]

*CALL FOR PAPERS*



*Research Symposium *

*Periphery and Place: The Geographies of Screen Production in Australia and
New Zealand *

* *

2 September 2013

Victoria University of Wellington



*Keynote Speaker: Prof. Tom O’Regan (University of Queensland)*



The Film and Media Studies Programmes at Victoria University of Wellington
invite submissions for the *Periphery and Place* symposium.



The symposium will provide a platform for researchers and industry
professionals to debate the relationship between place and screen
production in Australia and New Zealand. More specifically the title of the
symposium invites participants to address the following question: are we
still engaging with a centre-periphery model of screen production or are we
moving towards an acentric, global dispersal of film and television making?
The centre-periphery model that has informed the colonial histories of both
Australia and New Zealand is gradually giving way to the contemporary
decentralization of media production and the corollary internationalization
of funding and distribution. Similarly the emergence of indigenous screen
content characterized by a different history of engagement with place is
also redefining the flows of cultural production, funding and distribution.



Topics to consider may include:

·         Screen production in Australia and New Zealand

·         Transnational production

·         The production of locality

·         Media and cultural policy

·         Indigenous media

·         Histories of media industries

·         Globalization and media flows



Paper proposals (250 words + brief bio) should be submitted by 9 July 2013
to Alfio.leotta at vuw.ac.nz

Organizing Committee at the above mentioned email address. Attendance is
free, but registration is requested.
