<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Call for papers:</span></strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>“We must do what we can to open our imaginations up to a radically different set of future possibilities.”<br>
—Crow Chief Plenty Coups’s reasoning, according to Jonathan Lear, <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Radical Hope: Ethics in the Face of Cultural Devastation</span></em><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Our screens are filled with images of the future, some uncannily familiar to us, some strange and unsettling. As climate and ecological emergencies are declared or denied, democratic states collapse, and authoritarianism intensifies, it seems necessary to
break with the business-as-usual call for papers to consider the future of screen-based media, and those disciplines organised around and oriented to them. If the intellectual project of screen studies in its broadest sense is to consider how screen arts and
media shape our selves and our worlds, what does the present moment require of us? The biennial conference of the Screen Studies Association of Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand (SSAAANZ) provides an opportunity to focus on future research, practice-based
and teaching agendas, both individual and collective, from diverse standpoints and critical orientations. Can we consider the state of the field in terms of how it might reflect, mediate, negotiate and anticipate the state of the world? What can screen arts
and media, and screen studies, contribute to transformations in cultures that might guarantee viable or, even better, flourishing futures?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>SSAAANZ invites proposals from researchers, archivists, educators, policymakers, and practitioners that address this broad theme and its possible topics, including
