Permanent Call for Essay "Beyond Cinema"
/


Following the so-called “digital revolution”, dramatic transformations 
have affected the ways in which cinema is produced, consumed and 
perceived, to the extent that it seems to have gone “beyond” itself: 
beyond its very language and discourse; its traditional consumption 
practices and spaces; its position and function within the social (as 
well as the medial) sphere. As a consequence, during the last two 
decades, research in film studies has significantly widened its scope: 
the study of cinema has been re-articulated in several fields of inquiry 
and through a variety of methodological approaches and 
(inter)disciplinary perspectives, in an attempt to keep up with these 
most recent developments.

This section of/Cinéma&Cie /aims therefore to function as a permanent 
observatory of this “beyondness”. Specifically, it provides a space to 
re-discuss the thresholds of the cinematic medium, as well as the 
boundaries of traditional film studies, by addressing a variety of 
under-investigated contexts and objects through innovative and 
unconventional approaches and references.

/Beyond Cinema/encourages proposals related to the following main 
frameworks:

/

    /

    *Cinema Beyond the Film Text.*Cinema in a transtextual perspective:
    intertextual, metatextual and hypertextual relations among films,
    and/or between films and other cultural products; practices of
    appropriation of pre-existing images (found-footage, archival
    footage, collage films, and so on).

    /

    /

    *Cinema Beyond the Cinematic Medium*. Cinema in a transmedia
    perspective: remediations and intermedial practices; processes of
    translation, differentiation, assimilation, hybridization and mutual
    exchange with other media formations, on both the aesthetic and
    material level.

    /

    /


    /

    /

    *Cinema Beyond the Movie Theatre*. Cinema in a translocational
    perspective: the relocation of cinema and new forms of circulation
    and consumption (from mobile phones to urban screens); musealization
    and exposition of cinema and films; non-institutional forms of
    filmmaking (amateur cinema and non-theatrical genres, such as the
    medical, industrial, touristic film, etc.).

    /

    /


    /

    /

    *Cinema Beyond Film Studies*. Cinema in a transdisciplinary
    perspective: intersections between film studies and other
    disciplines, from both the humanities and hard sciences (cinema and
    philosophy, cinema and neuroscience, cinema and cultural studies,
    etc.); the role of cinema as a didactic tool and as an instrument of
    scientific inquiry.
