Meeting Description:

Nowadays, the media play a crucial role in the production and dissemination of
ideology and in the  game  of  power  relations.  As a matter of  fact, media 
narratives express values,  beliefs and attitudes that can influence
viewers/participants. Movies and TV series, for instance,often depict the
social fears and hopes of particular cultural settings, representing the
“anxieties of the times”(Russell  2010:  104) and also constructing “the
social reality that  constitutes the lived world of social actors” (Mumby
1993:5). Through a variety of different, multimodal devices, telecinematic
artefacts impact the way we perceive risk, security, hospitality,
otherness,the unpredictability of political, cultural and economic change,
possible impacts of complex de-humanized technologies, and the threat of
different kinds of harms in general.They consequently force us to re-evaluate
the past, re-position ourselves with regard to the present, and project our
hopes and fears into the future. Since they trigger emotional effects,
narrative mass media (Queen 2015)can work as ideological apparatuses, often
hijacking and engendering the climate of polarization and general public
consciousness in terms of beliefs, norms and value systems,in numerous spheres
of society.Although  sociolinguistics  has  long underrated the ideological 
determination of  cinematic  and televisual artifacts, the analysis of
so-called “telecinematic discourse”(Bednarek2018, Piazza et al. 2011)is now
becoming increasingly more popular, although still under-explored. The panel 
aims  at contributing to the critical debate by offering an opportunity for
discussing telecinematic discourse in/about Australia as an ideological
vehicle for the production of fear and hope, a resisting device or a piece of
political propaganda to either trigger terror and vulnerability, or else hope
for a better future and renewed trust in human resilience and adaptability.We
therefore encourage contributions from different analytical and methodological
perspectives that take a discursive lens. 

Possible topics/areas of interest include:
•Telecinematic language 
•Ideological perspectives on the use of language varieties in Australian
movies/series
•Corpus-linguistic approaches to telecinematic discourse
•The multimodal representation of gender, ethnicity, culture 
•Filmic representations of Indigenous Australian identity
•Indigenous Australian film and television practices 
•Dystopian and utopian screen media 
•Queer screen media 
•Ideological manipulation in audiovisual translation
•Discourse, style and narrative 
•Transmedia, new media and cinema spectatorship
•Threat ideologies 
•Mediating migration 
•The emotional effect of screen narratives
•Cinema/TV and populism 
•Cinema/TV, sociology and political myths
