Description
Fifth Biennial Conference of The Screen Studies Association of Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand (SSAAANZ) in association with Flinders University, Adelaide: In all aspects of Screen Studies there are elements of the seen and the unseen, the visible and the invisible, the recognised (canonised) and the forgotten and overlooked. Whether in the screen practices of producing images for the screen, in the industrial circumstances of funding, training, casting, and location scouting that occur behind the scenes, or as a consequence of regulation and censorship, the end result is a text that is made to be seen but which is an effect of invisible processes and events. Within screen texts there are narratives, visual and audio techniques, and conventions that toy with our perceptions of seen/unseen. Screen history itself has shed light on and elevated certain careers and texts and neglected others. These dynamics are core to Screen Studies research, where a key aim, underpinned by decolonising and feminist approaches, has been to bring ‘unseen’ histories, practices, and theories to the fore.In these ways, Seen/Unseen can speak to formalism and framing, the textual and the extra-textual, policy and regulation, labour and economies, and screen histories. We invite proposals that address the theme of Seen/Unseen.
