Dear colleague,

if you haven't yet had a chance to submit a paper to ANZCA 2009, good news:

Unfortunately we have had problems with our web page and many people have
not been able to submit their papers. Apologies if this has inconvenienced
anyone. In light of this, and because many people have asked for an
extension we are extending the deadline for papers, panels and abstracts for
the ANZCA09 Communication, Creativity and Global Citizenship conference to
5pm Monday 23 February (Australian Eastern Standard Time).


You may remember that a couple of months ago I sent you a call for papers
for the ANZCA 2009 conference in Brisbane on 8-10 July. If you're interested
in joining us for the conference, here's a reminder that the call for
abstracts and full papers for the conference closes on 5 February - so if
you haven't yet, please remember to submit a paper as soon as possible. Hope
to see you in Brisbane in July!


Below is the original call for papers:

The 2009 conference of the Australia/New Zealand Communication Association
will take place in Brisbane on 8-10 July 2009. We are now calling for paper
submissions for the conference overall, and for the Digital and Social Media
stream in particular. For more information about the conference, a full list
of all conference streams, and to submit your papers, please see the
conference Website at http://www.anzca09.org/.


Digital and Social Media

ANZCA09: Communication, Creativity and Global Citizenship conference stream
http://www.anzca09.org/

8-10 July 2009
QUT Creative Industries Precinct, Brisbane, Australia

Stream convenors: Axel Bruns, Creative Industries Faculty, QUT / Teresa
Rizzo, AFTRS

Digital and Social Media

Digital media forms constitute an increasingly important element in the
overall media ecology. Australians with broadband access now spend more time
on the Internet than watching TV, and the growing role of social media
(based on the technologies of Web 2.0) in this mix has been well-recognised
in both popular discourse and scholarly work.

Digital and social media forms are enabling new modes of communication and
new forms of creativity affecting and transforming established models of
production. For example, cross-platform productions work in the juncture
between traditional and social media.

Social media have also become tools for the active expression of citizenship
- key social media sites were utilised by political actors to encourage
citizen participation in recent election campaigns in Australia, New
Zealand, and the United States, but also provide a fertile space for new
social movements to emerge.

The Digital and Social Media stream of the ANZCA09: Communication,
Creativity and Global Citizenship conference is seeking papers and panels
that address the following themes:

* How have the practices and aesthetics of social media influenced and
altered traditional media such as television, radio and print media?

* What role might social media play in the future of the film and television
industry, and for the media industries in general?

* How do we document, investigate, and understand the role of social media
within the overall media ecology?

* What drives the success or failure of social media environments?

* How do digital and social media contribute to the expression of active
citizenship?

* What are current and future trends in the development of social media
environments?


Abstracts and papers are due by Friday 5 February, 2009, and should be
submitted directly to the ANZCA09 web site at http://www.anzca09.org/.
Enquiries about this stream should be directed to Axel Bruns or Teresa Rizzo
(a.bruns at qut.edu.au / rizzo at optushome.com.au).
