<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">What are the worlds of communication we inhabit, create, and reshape? And how can we interpret the dynamic expansions and contractions of our mediascapes?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">ANZCA 2017 invites reflections on ancient, modern and future communication worlds, colonial and postcolonial worlds, activist and start-up worlds, ecologies, ecosystems and environments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">We are interested in analyses of novel and emergent systems, such as the world of sensors, bots, algorithms and computer automation; historical studies of media evolution, transformation and obsolescence;
or comparative studies of transnational phenomena and the scope of global social interaction.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">We will also explore what is worldly (and unworldly) about communication in Aotearoa/New Zealand, Australia, and their regions—pondering how the spaces, places, locations, and times of communication
zones in Asia and the Pacific relate to counterparts in other parts of the globe.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Different types of ‘worlding’ enable and/or inhibit our access to, voice, participation and engagement in media and communication spheres.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">With this in mind we seek papers that also consider the following concepts:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Access:</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"> What lies in and outside these symbolic worlds? Who has access to them and who is excluded? What are the boundaries, frontiers,
borders, bridges, gulfs, and federations of different communication worlds? What knowledge, skills, resources and strategies enable us to enter these worlds? What forms of presence do these environments support, and absences do they suggest?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Voice:</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"> Who decides, on what terms, with what consequences, who has voice, and gets listened to, in our communication worlds? What are
the design, infrastructure, technology, communication channel, repertoire, style, recommendation and preferencing decisions that shape these worlds to suit some and not others?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Diversity:</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"> How can we reimagine communication worlds for cultural and media diversity? What are the potential options for reformatting,
rethinking, and reconfiguring policy, practice, platforms, possibilities, participation, and the politics of plenty (and scarcity), if we think communication, in all its guises and potential matters?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Engagement:</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"> How do we invite and recruit people to interact in our worlds? How might we gauge the depth, breadth or scope of their interests
and responses, participation and contribution? And how might we understand the emerging social and power relations among distinct groups of workers—those making hardware, software, and infrastructure; professional content makers, immaterial and precarious
labourers—and audiences, users, communities, publics, and others?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
