Keynote speeches by Carolyn Birdsall (University of Amsterdam) and 
Trevor Pinch (Cornell University, New York)

With two keynote addresses, one roundtable, 30 speakers and seven 
moments of online (sound) discussions, the "Retuning the Screen" 
conference organised by the Udine University (IT) aims at enhancing the 
emergence and consolidation of these aurally oriented perspectives, as 
innovative entry points in film and media theory and history at large. 
As Jonathan Sterne has argued, to think sonically does not so much imply 
sound as an exclusive object of interest. Instead, it outlines an 
alternative path to be pursued through history, a different mapping of 
the same territory, a distinct epistemological position (Sterne 2003; 
2012). Following this approach, we are not interested in exploring the 
aural “segment” of audiovisual texts (i.e. the soundtrack) for their 
expressive and artistic significance. Neither we are exclusively 
concerned with “audio” and technologically mediated sound in itself. Our 
general objective will be to understand how the theoretical concepts and 
methods developed to investigate aurality could reframe cinema and 
visual media as research objects.
