[ecrea] New Issue of SCAN

Wed Feb 17 08:40:14 GMT 2010



A new issue of SCAN (refereed journal of media arts and culture, published
three times a year and hosted by  the Media Department
<http://www.media.mq.edu.au>  at Macquarie University Sydney) is out
focusing on radio and screen documentary and authorship. Shamelessly self
promoting this issue edited by Marie Delofski and myself, here are the
details:

Vol 6 Number 3 December 2009
Authorship and the Documentary
<http://scan.net.au/scan/journal/display_synopsis?j_id=18>

Edited by Maree Delofski & Virginia Madsen

This issue of SCAN canvasses the notion of authorship with reference to
contemporary documentary forms across radio, film and television. Over the
past decade there has been much talk of a ?renaissance¹ in radio
documentary, while image-based documentary is expanding on television and
finding new forms on the internet.  At the same time, the idea of formal
authorship has never had less currency in the industry, and documentary
makers, as with other producers, whether for television or radio, find
themselves referred to by broadcasters (both public and private) simply as
?content providers¹. Indeed, the ?authorship¹ of any single broadcast work
appears to be claimed by the corporate entity while the makers are
?disappeared¹ behind the on-air promotion of the program itself.

Essays include:

A radio d¹auteur: the documentaire de creation of Kaye Mortley
