*Call-for-Papers:  2017 Program *   We are currently seeking proposals for
our 2017 program: Intersections in Film and Media Studies
SSSN invites scholars working across film, television, video, and internet
genres *to explore the state of contemporary screen studies and screen
culture.* Developments in digital technologies, as well as rapid changes in
production, distribution and consumption patterns, mean that ‘cinema’ is an
increasingly fluid term that moves across platforms, genres, and textual
boundaries. Screen culture is also an inescapable part of the contemporary
media environment, with a plethora of media objects moving across a variety
of screens, technologies, and devices. Cinema and screen studies likewise
possess a fluidity that encourages interdisciplinary approaches and
collaboration.

*This program will explore the transitional nature of contemporary screen
studies and the movement of scholarship, theory and ideas across its
boundaries.* The program is interested in three core areas of study:

   1. *Interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches to screen media*
   2. *Intersections in screen media*
   3. *The value of a single-discipline approach*

Potential seminar topics include, but are not limited to:

   - Interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches to screen media
   - Applying a single discipline to study a screen object not in that
   discipline (e.g. using film studies approaches to television or applying
   video games scholarship to YouTube)
   - Investigations of screen media interactions and crossovers (e.g.
   cinematic television, televisual YouTube)
   - In what ways are different screen-based media texts informing and
   shaping one another?
   - What are the boundaries of film/television/video/YouTube?
   - How are screen-based media texts being confined to specific mediums of
   distribution and consumption?
   - In response to the convergent media environment are texts adhering
   to particular media-specific conventions in order to delineate themselves?
   - Can we continue to define what is cinema? What is television? etc.
   - How are audiences of screen texts responding to the fluidity of screen
   media genres?


All seminar presentations will be considered for an edited special journal
issue, pending editorial approval. *We particularly encourage postgraduate
and early career researchers to apply.*

Seminars will be held every alternate Wednesday in the teaching semester,
from 5pm to 7pm (Room 327, Robert Webster Building, UNSW Kensington
Campus).

Please send proposals including a title, an abstract (200 words), and a
short biography to sydneyscreenstudies at gmail.com by Sunday 19th February
2017.
