Deadline for submission of proposals: 29 November 2024

The Media Studies Commission of the International Federation of 
Television Archives FIAT/IFTA together with /VIEW Journal of European 
Television History and Culture/ invites submissions for a special issue 
titled “With and Against the Grain: New Creative Dialogues with 
Broadcast Archives.”

The issue explores creative ways in which media scholars, archivists and 
practitioners can expand on the possibilities that broadcast archives 
hold for historical knowledge production.

We invite contributions that focus on creative forms of television 
history writing carried out in dialogue with the archives, contributions 
that foreground meaningful experiments in/with the archives as well 
other imaginative forms of archive-based historical knowledge 
production. Such experimental and creative practices can be approached 
as modalities of knowing and mined for their potential to tap into 
unexplored possibilities that broadcast archives hold for historical 
knowledge, including for their potential touncover marginalised 
historical narratives or address archival biases.

We are interested in - though not limited to - the following:

  * practice-based historical research that is carried out in dialogue
    with broadcast archives.

  * historical narratives that lend themselves to polyvocality and
    multivalence by shining a light on the multiple points of view in
    and outside the archive;

  * contributions that address unexplored, obscured or marginalised
    knowledge by means of creative, imaginative and experimental
    engagements with broadcast archives;

  * historiographical pieces that reflect on the dialogic relations
    between media scholars, archivists and the archival object in the
    production of historical knowledge;

  * contributions that approach historical knowledge through the lens of
    vernacular archiving practices and discuss these in dialogue with
    institutionalised broadcast archives;

  * creative writing historical pieces and artistic audiovisual essays
    that address biases, omissions, oversights and inequalities in the
    archives and in doing so, they produce historical knowledge that
    expands on, fills in the gaps or breaks open institutionalised
    archives’.
Contributions can range from research articles, to audiovisual essays 
and other creative practice-led contributions in written and 
(audio)visual form.

*We invite television and media scholars, archivists and media 
practitioners to contribute and send in a 500-word proposal by 29 
November 2024.*
