<p>The Australian and New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA) is a
professional association for teachers and researchers in the diverse
disciplines of communication.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>ANZCA’s 2010 conference will be held in Canberra from 7-9 July 2010 in
collaboration with the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House.
The Museum, in this grand old setting, houses a range of innovative exhibitions
that explore themes of Australian democracy, making it an ideal venue for
discussion and debate about issues around themes of Media, Democracy &
Change.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In a time of rapid organisational and technological change in the media and
communication industries, the democratic functions of the media are under
challenge. The role of public communicators has never been more central yet
problematic, whether it takes place in organisational, political, creative,
global or journalism settings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>The Entertainment Stream<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p>Entertainment is the preeminent form of culture around the world. It has the
largest audiences, it is the most popular form of culture, and it is the
biggest cultural industry. This has been true throughout the modern period. Yet
entertainment has received very surprisingly little academic attention. Beyond
dismissals by Cultural Theory and some attention focussed on the Business of
Entertainment, it is only recently that we have seen concerted academic work
which takes entertainment seriously and seeks to understand, celebrate and
write about entertainment, past, present, and future.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The Entertainment stream of ANZCA10 is seeking papers that address the
following topics:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type=disc>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>The history of any particular entertainment
media, including but not limited to comics, games, television, popular
music, magazines and popular books<o:p></o:p></li>
