“…As our own daily work continues – variously through video conference, emails, tweets and blogs – the learning by doing that is intrinsic to our field is developing in important ways. As such, we are pleased to also include here a number of excellent general articles, from Stuart Cunningham and Alexa Stuart (2020) , Alan McKee (2020) and Steven Maras (2020) , that detail ongoing work on the media industries, media education and within the Australian and New Zealand Communication Association. For our part, both Craig Hight and myself as editors would like to thank all of the contributors, the MIA board and production staff working under novel conditions at Sage in India for making this extraordinary issue happen in these extraordinary times.…”

“…It is important to acknowledge a number of developments which have recast the terrain in which communication scholars teach and research. This includes the diverse range of scholarship covered by ANZCA and contestations around the standing of the field in Australasia and beyond (see Maras, 2020). In addition, communication research has been shaped by a shifting institutional terrain, with many scholars experiencing the challenges of restructure and new forms of precarity.…”

This article presents responses from a range of Australian scholars on communication research and teaching in the context of a roundtable in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Australian Communication Association (ACA), the precursor organisation to the Australian and New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA). Emphasising the range and diversity of approaches and epistemologies in this field, the roundtable invited a ‘situated’ response to questions considering scholarship, frameworks, and theoretical perspectives useful in thinking through the near and mid-term challenges facing the area. Emerging from the exercise is a snapshot of different agendas for research and teaching, many of them future-oriented and reformist in their emphasis on responsible practice and social change.

Screenwriting research in Australia: A truncated (pre)history

Recent years have seen a growing interest in the history of fields of study and academic disciplines. While recognizing a number of limitations, this article explores the emergence of screenwriting research in Australia. It addresses the question of what were the cultural conditions that gave rise to contemporary screenwriting research in Australia. The article discusses three key factors: firstly, long-standing policy settings around cultural identity and content in film and television; secondly, active debates around ‘screen culture’ that have given discussions of the place of culture and story special prominence and contributed to awareness of questions of cultural ‘value’, and conventional separations of production and consumption; thirdly, the rise of film studies in the 1970s, which gave ferment to research into narrative and story forms. My goal is to capture some of the contextual features that are important to an understanding of screenwriting research in this period and geography, and to suggest that screenwriting research emerged as intellectual attitude and area of interest that eventually crystallized as part of a more formalized arena of study in the later 2000s.
