22 - 24 NOVEMBER 2018, İstanbul


Archives are not only places to collect, assemble and categorize documentary information but also sites of historical struggle over the writing, filming, collection, destruction, translation, and interpretation. The question of management of cultural heritage cannot be simply limited to processes of preservation and conservation, but also it requires an investigation of the ways in which archiving creates new forms of academic and artistic studies. In other words, these studies on archives, instead of merely focusing on data collection, scrutinize how the past -in the form of a film, a text, an image, is being recreated and reimagined in the present. Thus, forgetting the archive envisages a process that is integral to remembering and recreating.


The Film Department of the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism is going to launch a website of film archive, a great majority of which consists of silent films from the first half of the past century-1900s. Regarding this crucial moment in cultural history, the Cinema and Television Department of İstanbul Şehir University is organizing an international symposium, ‘Forgetting the Archive’. The symposium aims to provide an academic and artistic platform for the discussion of philosophical and theoretical issues pertaining to the archives. To this end, the symposium brings together scholars, archive directors, and artists from the United Kingdom, Austria, Germany, India, Netherlands, and Turkey.

The goals of the symposium are not limited to exploring and discussing the meaning of archives, as it further aims at developing a cultural dialogue and connection between different academic and artistic networks, as well as initiating international collaborations and partnerships.

İstanbul Şehir University envisages this international event as the first in a series of annual symposiums that will draw on the participation of international scholars and artists in collaboration with worldwide universities, archives, and cultural institutions.
