The media has long been considered a powerful tool for the fighting of injustice and for holding powerful individuals and institutions to account. How do questions of justice interact with those of power, ownership and control, as well as those of (self)censorship? To what extent and where has mainstream media maintained independence and integrity? What is the role of social media? And where is press freedom non-existent or increasingly curtailed? What of the role of investigative journalists, citizen journalists, and whistleblowers? Film and media, like art and literature, are multi-layered forums for probing the depths of the multifarious concept of “justice.” This can relate to its ethical and moral branches (social, legal, moral justice, etc.) as well as its less tangible embodiments (poetic justice, rough justice, etc.). Fictional films and documentaries frequently celebrate victories of justice and triumphs over adversity in functioning democratic institutions (e.g. Twelve Angry Men), while others explore more fractious moral and ethical dilemmas related to the concept. For instance, can there ever be a moral justification for acting above the law – even committing a serious crime for a “higher purpose”? One might reference Woody Allan’s countless adaptations of Dostoyevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment. Is a work of fiction or media reporting culpable if it falsifies for a “good cause?” Does justice have a “dark side,” or is this the outcome of it being manipulated? Questions like these have been with us throughout the ages. Do they exist as boundaries for reflection rather than questions to be answered? Some modern TV series look into justice issues from a legal point of view, but also probe the psychology of many types of people on both sides of the law. What do these contribute to the better understanding of the complexities of human nature and human emotion exposed in them? We expect this open and enduring theme to excite a number of stimulating research paths, and look forward to their outcomes. Submissions are organised into the following thematic streams: -Advertising, Marketing, and Public Relations -Digital Media and Use of New Technology in Newsgathering -Communication Theory and Methodology -Critical and Cultural Studies, Gender and Communication -Media Disaster Coverage -Media History -International Communication -Law, Policy and Media Ethics -Newspapers and Magazines as Print/Digital Media -Mass Communication -Broadcast Media and Globalization -Journalism -Education and Scholastic Journalism -Sports, Media and Globalization -Media Management and Economics -Political Communication and Satire -Visual Communication -Media and Education: Training journalists -Social Media and Communication Technology -Documentary Production -Film ***MediAsia2016 Conference Chairs and Featured Speakers Professor Gary Swanson Conference Co-Chair and Featured Speaker CEO D’image Studios Former Hansen Endowed Chair in Journalism and Distinguished Journalist-in-Residence, The University of Northern Colorado, USA Dr. James Rowlins Conference Co-Chair Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore Dr. Paul Spicer Conference Co-Chair and Featured Speaker Hiroshima Jougakuin University, Japan Professor Richard Roth 2016 Keynote Speaker Northwestern University, United States Mie Yanashita FilmAsia2016 Piano Performer Silent Film Pianist Dr. James Rowlins FilmAsia2016 Conference Co-Chair Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore ***The IAFOR Documentary Film Award and Festival 2016 at MediAsia and FilmAsia2016 Documentary film is strongly in line with The International Academic Forum’s vision as an academic think tank that promotes international, intercultural and interdisciplinary discussion and exchange.

Conference on Mermaids, Maritime Folklore, and Modernity
| Conference on Mermaids, Maritime Folklore, and Modernity 24-27 October 2017, Copenhagen, Denmark http://www.islanddynamics.org/mermaidconference.html This interdisciplinary conference addresses the prominence of the mermaid and related creatures from folklore, myth, legend, and the imagination in 19th, 20th, and 21st-Century culture. The past decades have seen an explosion of mermaid imagery in western and, increasingly, global popular culture. This is particularly evident in cinema, television, literature, and various web-based forms but is also widely diffused in music, design, performance, cosplay, and other activities. Simultaneously, mermen, selkies, sirens, and newer figures such as caecelia and merlions have been subject to representation and discussion in a range of contexts. From Hans Christian Andersen’s story ‘The Little Mermaid’ (Den lille Havfrue) to Jennifer Donnely’s WaterFire Saga, from Curtis Harrington’s Night Tide to Stephen Chow’s The Mermaid, from Edvard Eriksen’s iconic ‘The Little Mermaid’ statue to Banksy’s Dismaland distortion, from the mermaid show at Weeki Wachi Springs to the digital mermaids at Macau’s City of Dreams, mermaids have served as figures of romance, horror, comedy, mystery, lust, and adventure across countless media and cultural practices. Cultural globalisation has furthermore drawn a wide range of non-western creatures and deities into the sphere of mermaid associations. Representations of aquatic spirits from around the world – Thailand’s Suvannamaccha, West Africa’s Mami Wata, Indonesia’s Nyai Loro Kidul, Russia’s rusalka, Brazil’s Iara, and many more – are increasingly influencing and being influenced by western mermaid culture. This is a continuation of a process that has occurred in the West itself, as figures from Mesopotamia and Classical antiquity influenced Medieval and Early Modern Western European perceptions and interpretations of real and imagined encounters with aquatic beings. Philip Hayward (University of Technology, Sydney and Southern Cross University, Lismore, Australia) and Jenny Kokai (Weber State University, Ogden, USA) will act as keynote speakers. About the conference: On 24-25 October, delegates will explore Copenhagen, visiting mermaid-related sites and engaging in the local culture. Besides seeing Edvard Eriksen’s 1913 statue of ‘The Little Mermaid’, which has become a national symbol of Denmark, the conference group will visit numerous other works of merfolk art and engage with Copenhagen’s vibrant culture. On the evening of 18 October, delegates will visit the enchanting Tivoli Gardens amusement park. Conference presentations will take place on 26-27 October at VerdensKulturCentret. How to make a presentation: Papers and panels are invited on all aspects of mermaids and related entities in 19th, 20th, and 21st-Century culture. Presentations will address such issues as: - Representations in popular culture - Representations in fine art contexts - Aficionado cultures and/or cosplay - Contemporary folk belief - Cultural Theory and interpretation - Sexualities and identification - Roles as objects of horror, comedy, sex, etc. - International comparisons - Official symbols and symbolism. The deadline for abstracts is 31 March 2017, but to ensure that you have the opportunity to take part in the conference and have the time to seek funding from your institution, we recommend that you submit your abstract early: http://www.islanddynamics.org/mermaidconference/cfp.html. Artists working in various media are also invited to approach the organisers about presenting their work at the conference. For more information, visit the conference website: http://www.islanddynamics.org/mermaidconference.html. If you have any questions, please contact convenor Adam Grydehøj at agrydehoj@islanddynamics.org. |
