<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:9.5pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif" lang="EN-NZ">The relationship between capital and culture is hotly contested. On the one hand, dominant political discourses valorise “culture” as the solution
for ailing communities, cities and industries. Discourses of neo-liberal globalization claim that, in the face of mass migration, war and climate change, communities equipped with the “right” culture will adapt and endure, while others will be left behind;
discourses of urban planning celebrate culture as the key to revitalising municipal economies through creativity and social participation; and discourses of post-industrial work, parsing radical shifts in the manufacturing sector, champion cultural, intellectual
and creative labour as the paradigm for new forms of work. On the other, a range of critical voices, many of them associated with Cultural Studies, offer a decidedly less rosy vision of the relationship between culture and emergent capitalist formations. For
these critics, nascent technologies of capital have led to a renewed reification and exploitation of racialised, sexualised, and classed populations, even as newly precarious conditions of labour give rise to affective economies marked by depression, antagonism
and the “crisis ordinary.”</span><span style="font-size:9.5pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif" lang="EN-US"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:9.5pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif" lang="EN-NZ">The 2017 Cultural Studies Association of Australasia conference will focus on the work that cultures do in constructing, contesting, and constituting
new capital formations. While the “culture industry” critique cast culture as the opiate through which economic dominance is propagated, cultures can potentially mediate economic conditions in multiple and heterogeneous ways. This conference invites contributions
that explore these mediations. In doing so, we return to one of the key concerns of early cultural studies: to make sense of the mutually-determining relation between culture and its capitalist context. If, following Stuart Hall, we understand ‘culture’ as
the production of meaning through language and representation, what are the modes of communication through which capitalism/s are created? How are capitalism/s materialised in different spaces? How is it embodied in different identities and communities? What
is the role of the economy in shaping the possibilities for culture? What is the role of Cultural Studies as critical praxis in the present economic time?</span><span style="font-size:9.5pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
