[Commlist] Journal of Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television 45.4. published - special issue on ‘Reworking the Eastern European Past through Audiovisual Archival Practices’

Diana Popa, Lucia Szemetová & Anita Pluwak are pleased to announce the 
publication of a new special issue of the Historical Journal of Film, 
Radio and Television, titled 'Reworking the Eastern European Past 
through Audiovisual Archival Practices'.

The collection brings together contributions that reconsider the role of 
audiovisual archives in shaping cultural memory and historiography 
across Eastern Europe. The articles discuss archiving as a dynamic and 
contested process shaped by material fragility, individual agency and 
institutional shortcomings. Together, they render visible the 
semi-peripheral conditions, epistemic challenges and creative 
interventions shaping the study of the region’s audiovisual heritage. We 
are grateful to our contributors for their engaged and thoughtful work, 
and to our colleagues and collaborators whose support made this issue 
possible. This special issue represents a meaningful step toward 
rethinking film and media history in Eastern Europe by foregrounding the 
labour, subjectivities and material conditions that underpin archival 
practice.
