**Practices of Displacement: Mapping  Migration in Cinema, Contemporary 
Arts and Cultural Heritage. *

**XVII MAGIS International Film Studies Spring School - March 23d - 26th 
2019*
*Gorizia (Italy).*

In occasion of the XVII edition of the MAGIS Spring School, the Cinema  
and Contemporary Arts section will address the ever topical issue of  
migration and its manifold relationships to art (and film) making, 
curatorship and exhibition. As suggested by Bourriaud (2007), in a 
global scenario  contemporary art can be seen as “a practice of 
displacement”, for the  way it transcodes and translates signifying 
elements from one context to  another. If interpreted in relation to 
migration as a social phenomenon, “human displacement” can constitute a 
challenge to artistic practices as  well as archival and curatorial ones 
(Ring Petersen, 2017; Johansson, Bevelander 2017): whenever dealing with 
the representations and heritage  of deterritorialized communities, 
artworks and art institutions become
sites to negotiate cultural differences (Durrant, Lord, 2017).

We are interested in investigating how the concept of migration 
gets remodulated in those theories, practices, projects, artworks and  
artefacts situated in between the realms of cinema and contemporary
arts. With this aim, we will encourage proposals addressing (but 
not limited to) the following research questions:

How do contemporary artists deal with migration and displacement?

How might the notion of mobility be channelled through different visual 
approaches?

What role have media technologies played in reshaping the concept of 
human and iconic “displacement” and how have flows of images and sounds 
informed the practices of artistic documentation?

What role have digital media and networks played in reshaping the 
concepts of “mobility”, and how have these data flows informed practices 
of artistic documentation?

How are migrant identities exhibited and represented in the context of 
museums, art galleries and art institutions? Which 
displaying /displacing strategies are being adopted so as to reject an
ethnocentric perspective?

We invite the submission of individual paper proposals, 
workshop proposals and panel proposals specifically addressing the 
Cinema And Contemporary Arts section. Proposals should contain a short 
CV (10 lines max) and be no longer than  one page. The deadline for 
their submission is December 3^rd  2018.

A registration fee (€ 150) will be applied. For more information,
