Media Practice SYMPOSIUM

[im]Possible Constellations: Publishing in the digital age

Saturday 31 October 2015, 11.30-5, University of Lincoln *

ATTENDANCE IS FREE, and includes the option of attending a very special 
immersive and interactive light & sound event at Lincoln Castle, part of 
Frequency Festival of Digital Culture 2015 and the Magna Carta 800 
anniversary celebrations, starting at 7pm

This symposium, supported as part of the AHRC-funded Academic Book of 
the Future project, considers the possibilities for the circulation, 
publication and exhibition of new ideas in the digital age, aiming to 
challenge and expand current perceptions of what high quality research 
outputs might look like in the 21st century, particular for those 
working in media subjects.

Our keynote speaker is Catherine Grant from the University of Sussex, a 
highly respected champion and producer of the video essay format. She 
established (and continues to curate for) the open access campaigning 
website Film Studies For Free, and the Audiovisualcy video group, and is 
also founding editor of the academic digital publishing platform 
REFRAME. Grant has published widely on theories and practices of film 
authorship and intertextuality, and has edited volumes on world cinema, 
Latin American cinema, digital film and media studies, and the 
audiovisual essay. A relatively early and prolific adopter of the online 
short video form, she is founding co-editor of [in]Transition: Journal 
of Videographic Film and Moving Image Studies. This new peer-reviewed 
publication was awarded the Society for Cinema and Media Studies’ Anne 
Friedberg Innovative Scholarship Award of Distinction for 2015.

MONOGRAPHIC? VIDEOGRAPHIC? PLURIGRAPHIC? TOWARDS (AN) ENRICHED MEDIA STUDIES

In her presentation Catherine Grant will examine current multimodal 
approaches to research and digital publishing in film and media studies. 
She will focus on two recent examples of audiovisual essays published 
online alongside written texts to argue that not only would film and 
media studies benefit from moving "Beyond the Book" as a presentational 
mode, but also from embracing the new networked and digitally enriched 
research methods and processes that lead to these enriched scholarly 
media forms, too.

Featuring speakers engaged in the commissioning, publishing, creation, 
archiving and housing of digital publications, this event is also part 
of the programme for the third edition of the Frequency Festival of 
Digital Culture (23 Oct-1st Nov 2015). Projects discussed as part of 
this event will include examples of digital ‘practice-as-research’ 
exhibited as part of Frequency Festival.

As part of the event schedule, participants will have the opportunity to 
explore the Festival trail throughout the city, and will be offered 
complementary tickets to the provocative and immersive digital 
projection extravaganza at Lincoln Castle as the final event of the 
magnificent Magna Carta 800 anniversary celebrations. **

In short, our debate will focus on:

  *   what it means to create and share ideas in the digital age, 
drawing attention to different forms of digital publishing;

  *   what it means to be an ‘author/creator’ in an age of increasing 
digital collaboration;

  *   what it means to be a ‘reader/consumer/participant’ of such outputs

and should be of interest to creative media practitioners, academics, 
publishers, commissioners, students ... anyone interested in debating 
the changing shape of publication in the digital age.

* Thanks to Virgin East Coast, a special direct ‘Festival’ train service 
from London to Lincoln will be available on Sat 31st Oct (leaving London 
at 9.10am, arriving Lincoln at 11.03) at super-discounted rate. 
Additionally, a free upgrade to first class, with symposium/Festival 
goodie bags, will be available on request. For those who need to return 
to London the same day, there’s a direct service that leaves Lincoln at 
5.15pm arriving at 7.11pm.

** The One, The Few, The Many, by the seeper digital arts collective 
(www.seeper.com<http://www.seeper.com/>), will offer an incredible 
immersive digital version of Magna Carta-related themes at Lincoln 
Castle, illuminating the dynamics of individual and collective power, 
past and present. Starts at 7pm.
