ECREA WEEKLY digest ARTICLES

October 14-16, 2021

Online conference

Deadline for proposal submission: April 12, 2021

The 6th edition of the conference /Narrative, Media and Cognition/ aims to combine narrative, as an artistic and social phenomenon, with the artistic and technical media that convey it and with the cognition that produces it and gives it meaning. The 2021 edition of the conference is hosted by the Theatre and Film School of the Lisbon Polytechnic Institute, in Portugal, in association with the WG of the Audiovisual Narratives of AIM - The Moving Image Association in Portugal. It will take place on the 14th, 15th, 16th of October 2021, via Zoom.

Upon entering a new decade of the twenty-first century the artistic landscape is increasingly hybrid and veering from the norms; a growing blend of forms, contents and genres is taking place. Therefore, it is imperative to reflect on the interrelation of the three main topics of the conference – narrative, media/arts, and cognition – and to contribute with academic theorization that allows for a broadening of reflection upon the nature and role of narrative as the binding element of a new audiovisual praxis. In this sense, the current edition of the conference focuses on the multiple challenges of artistic contemporaneity, seeking to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue.

There will be a publication with selected, peer-reviewed articles issuing from this conference. 

Possible topics may include, but are not limited to:

• ·Complex, non-linear and fragmentary narrative structures.
• ·Self-reflexivity, metalepsis, ekphrasis, embedding.
• ·Unreliable narration.
• ·Characters and diegetic universes.
• ·Time and space in narrative.
• ·Scriptwriting techniques.
• ·Essay film, webdocumentary.
• ·Autobiography, self-portrait, autofiction.
• ·Transmedia storytelling.
• ·Intermediality: narrative as cutting across different media.
• ·Film adaptation.
• ·Seriality, complex television series.
• ·Narrative and new media.
• ·New exhibition and exposition formats, streaming.
• ·Interactive narrative.
• ·Design, characters and narrative structures in videogames.
• ·Narrative as a cognitive structure.
• ·Relationship between media and cognition.
• ·Narration and altered states of consciousness.
• ·Narrative reception and creation mechanisms.

The Climate Change Communication and Narratives Network in the Faculty of Arts and Education at Deakin University is seeking EOIs for a fully funded PhD scholarship that willexplore the role of narrative practices in a museum context to inspire action on climate change.

Project details

This project will work to create a real-time analysis of the Sydney Powerhouse Museum’s forthcoming ‘100 Conversations’ installation, that aims to grow a substantial video archive of climate change thought leaders communicating their ideas for action, hope, and solutions to climate change. Undertaking deep content analysis and applying critical frameworks for understanding climate change communication to the interviews and exhibition curation, the project will examine the capacities of these climate change narratives to promote and inspire the action that is so critically needed on climate change. It will also investigate the contemporary role of museums in enhancing climate literacy and climate action. The project will advance our understanding of the role of storytelling and narrative in documenting and galvanising inclusive responses to the climate emergency and creating change at both individual and system levels.

The Climate Change Communication and Narratives Network is an interdisciplinary network of humanities, social science and creative arts scholars, critically focused on the politics and practices of climate change narration and communication in a time of climate emergency.

Call for anthology chapters

Deadline for abstracts: June 15, 2021

Editors

• Pia Majbritt Jensen, associate professor, Aarhus University, Denmark
• Eva Novrup Redvall, associate Professor, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
• Christa Lykke Christensen, associate Professor, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

The Nordic countries have a long and proud tradition of taking children and adolescents seriously as an audience with their own specific needs, in wider cultural policy frameworks focusing on children’s culture [børnekultur] as well as in specific film and media contexts (Bakøy, 1999; Christensen, 2002, 2006; Drotner, 1997; Jensen, 2017; Mouritsen, 1996; Rydin, 2000). However, the media use and viewing habits of children and adolescents have changed dramatically in the past decade – also in the Nordic region. Audiovisual content in the shape of film, series, and various “media snacks” on, for example, Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Twitch, Snapchat, and TikTok are now a major part of their media diet, while their encounters with national film, series, and online content are declining.

This anthology invites contributions that further theories about industry notions of conducive production and distribution practices related to content for children and adolescents, and about children and adolescents’ receptionor “produsage” – or both – of audiovisual content and their own notions of relevance and quality in a digital and thoroughly globalised media landscape. Contributions can deal with questions concerning all genres and all aspects of audiovisual content made for or consumed by Nordic children and adolescents – from policy and production perspectives to textual analysisand reception studies. For example:

• How do screenwriters, producers and commissioners conceive of and make content aimed at and consumed by Nordic children and adolescents?
• How do emerging producers – or “produsers”, that is, YouTubers, vloggers, TikTokkers, and so on – conceive of and produce content aimed at and consumed by Nordic children and adolescents?
• What constitutes audiovisual texts and cross-media story worlds aimed at Nordic children and adolescents? How are these texts constructed, and what are the characteristics of their various genres, from traditional films and series to videos on Twitch or TikTok?
• What kinds of content are Nordic children and adolescents actually watching and why? What notions of quality and relevance do they have when it comes to the audiovisual content they choose to watch?
• How does the thoroughly globalised – or some would say, Anglified – media diet of children and adolescents affect the choices of and preferences for media content among Nordic children and adolescents? In what ways do they make sense of or use domestic content? What role do the origin and language of the content play?
• What role do public service media and other national institutions play in the media diet of Nordic children and adolescents? What role do non-domestic or even global players such as Disney+ and YouTube have?
• What are the different policies and funding schemes behind audiovisual content for children and adolescentsin the Nordic countries? And how are they affecting the production, distribution, and reception of domestic content?
• What are important historical trajectories of audiovisual content made for and consumed by Nordic children and adolescents? How has production, texts, and reception changed? How has the view of young media users changed in the industry?
• Finally, how may research undertaken in other countries within the fields above aid our understanding of what goes on in the Nordics in a more comparative perspective? Are there important trends or other lessons to be learned from developments in territories outside of the Nordics?

Interested contributors are invited to submit a 500-word abstract and a short biography to Pia Majbritt Jensen (piamj@cc.au.dk) by 15 June 2021. Please note that all submissions will be peer-reviewed. Abstracts must clearly state the aim and objectives of the study, and the theoretical and methodological approaches contemplated in the study.

Notification of abstract selection will be given in August 2021 with full article submissions by January 2022. We expect the anthology to be published early 2023.

About this book

This book provides a global overview of the challenges and opportunities faced by Public Service Media (PSM) organizations, including the increasing power of digital platforms, changing consumption habits, and reforms on funding models. In order to survive in the new, transforming media ecosystem, PSM organizations need to retain their core values whilst also embracing new values stemming from society’s increasingly complex communication needs and value systems. The contributions of 40 authors from three continents are grouped into three areas in which PSM organizations can create value: innovation, governance and relation to the market, and democratic reinforcement. The book illustrates how PSM can create value for different stakeholders, in different contexts, and through different methods. Contributing to a better understanding of the role of PSM in current media systems, PSM is shown as a key agent for the development of the public sphere and democratic societies.

The book is available online in this link.

What is Communication? (2021) will investigate instantiations and permutations of communication via models of exchange, modes of inquiry, and meanings of community. While communication has been conceptualized as models of transportation, transmission, and ritual, communication is also characterized by modes of sharing, imparting, connecting, and participating. These characteristics can contribute to democracy, as well as facilitating the commons and community/fellowship.

Communication is sensorial, including the auditory, visual, kinesthetic, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, and interoceptive, and can involve humans, nonhumans, plants, and/or machines. Most importantly, communication imbues meanings—experiences/cultures, languages/ideas, feelings/emotions, interactions/transactions, politics/economics, situations/contexts, and networks/environments.

This year’s event takes a problem-solving approach to communication by examining systems of networks and flows, gender and ICT4D, surveillance and algorithms, platforms and democracies, familial commonalities and ecological interdependencies.

What is Communication? (2021) builds on the previous two years’ gatherings. What is Technology? (2019) examined practical arts and tools, techniques and processes, moral knowledge and imagination, as well as technology as intelligent inquiry and problem-solving. What is Information? (2020) investigated tapestries, temperaments, and topologies of the mathematical and semantic, physical and biological, cultural and environmental, economic and political, as well as information’s transformational æffects. This year marks the eleventh annual What is...? and the sixth collaboration with scholars from the natural sciences, social sciences and arts. The series continues to enact a collaborative network of transdisciplinary research, cultivating communication as the heart of nature and society.

Deadline: May 15, 2021

“What it means when the media moves from the new to the habitual—when our bodies become archives of supposedly obsolescent media, streaming, updating, sharing, saving.”

Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, in Updating to Remain the Same (MIT Press, 2016), argues that our media “become more important when they appear to be of no importance – when they move from the ‘new’ to the ‘habitual’”. Technologies such as smartphones are no longer surprising to us, they have been absorbed into our lives in such a way that “we become our machines: we transmit “live”, update, capture, share, connect, save, delete and track”(from the introduction).

Chun interprets the incorporation of social networks in our habits as a defining concept of the present. “Networks have been central to the rise of neoliberalism, replacing ‘society’ with groups of individuals (…) Habit is central to the inversion of privacy and advertising that drives neoliberalism and networks”. It is in this field, for example, that Natalie Bookchin’s artistic work expands individual expressions that embody this paradoxical intimate exposure in the visual digital flow.

The issue of “habitus”, as a concept like in Pierre Bourdieu, places it in a more general social context, foreshadowing and consolidating the influence and complexity of the media in our lives, making them as omnipresent as almost involuntary. Roland Barthes, in the face of photography, in his idea of ​​the invisibility of the signifier, also reveals a notion of “habit”. Pedro Miguel Frade in “As Figuras do Espanto” (ASA, 1992) reminds us of a moment when photography was still a technology that caused strangeness, where thinking “the modernity of the gaze” was also a “continuous and cumulative effect” (p.7) of what tends to remain obscure. Cultural technologies can be paradoxically surprising when viewed from the perspective of novelty or persistence.

The collective awareness of the political uses of new “habitual” technologies precipitated the first digital social movements of the 21st century ten years ago, such as the “Arab Springs”, “M12M” in Portugal, “Movimiento 15M” in Spain, or “Occupy WS Movement ” from New York, USA (Castells, 2013). Smartphones, “internet cafes” connected with digital social networks spread tweets, images and videos on YouTube, based on participatory structures, making them political and destabilizing a global order with their protests. These movements surprised and liberated digital practices, as the reactivation of Ivan Illich’s concept of “vernacular” (Illich, 1980), by Peter Snowdon in “The people is not an image – Vernacular Video after the Arab Springs” (Verso Books, 2020) that punctuated a moment in recent digitally mediated History. Since then, paradoxical digital lives have evolved and “habitual new media” complexified.

However, with the pandemic moment, contemporary modes of existence have raised such mediations as globally evident. The weaknesses exposed in real and organic life now appear to be mediated in the coexistence, but also in communication and even in the hypothesis of contact, through digital existence and technological mediation of the “habitual new media”. In the context of the pandemic, “life on screen” becomes the canon of contemporary existence.

This number seeks to collect contributions on:

• “habitual new media” cultural mediations, focusing on the individual or the small collective, which relate to this perspective of digital intimacy in the contemporary;
• macro perspectives within the scope of Media Theories, on the relationship between progress and obsolescence of cultural technologies, or reflections on digital networks and their impact on the reproduction of control systems or the creation of resistance and solidarity movements;
• critical perspectives on the impact of the current pandemic context on cultural media and mediations, within the scope of Cultural Analytics. (Manovich, 2020).
• analysis of these themes in different segments and communities, particularly in minorities or vulnerable groups, and digital projects to overcome this context;
• historical perspectives on cultural media and their relationship with the concept of “habit” and progress, such as photography, cinema, sound technologies or others, and moments of tension “between medias”;
• artistic and creative practices that address these contexts, in visual arts, cinema but also sonic, multimedia or web art expressions;
• digital ethnographies under these themes, focusing online experiences.
• recent perspectives of the different digital social movements of 2011, their mediations and their impacts, but also of recent digital social movements, anchored online, such as #metoo or #BLM, or #XR (Extinction Rebellion) and their digital practices or artivist expressions.

Articles can be written in English, French, Spanish or Portuguese and will be subjected to blind peer review. Visual essays will also be accepted. Formatting must be done in accordance with the journal’s submission guidelines and the submission via the OJS platform by May 15, 2021.

For inquiries, please contact editor Madalena Miranda: (miranda.madalena@gmail.com)

Guidelines for submission and instruction for authors:

Visual essays format:

Up to 12 pages. The essay can be entirely visual or combine image and text. The visual element of the essay must be an integral part of the argument or the ideas expressed and not serve as an example or illustration of them. It must also include an introductory text (150-300 words) integrated with the essay and its relevance in the context of this issue. Particular attention should be given to the layout of images/texts: the essay should include a PDF file with suggested layout for 17 × 24.5cm and image resolution of at least 300ppi.
