*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 by June 15,
2016. Abstracts should include name, institutional affiliation, full
contact details, and a short biographical note.
