[Publik.ims] Meeting Media Minds with Thomas Leitch on 'How to Succeed in Intermediality Without Really Being Lars Elleström', 8 June

by ims＠lnu.se

Welcome to Meeting Media Minds with Thomas Leitch on How to Succeed in Intermediality Without Really Being Lars Elleström We are happy to invite you to attend the fourth talk in our open lecture series Meeting Media Minds: Critical legacies of Lars Elleström on Wednesday 8 June. This week we are visited by Thomas Leitch, who is a Professor of English and Unidel Andrew B. Kirkpatrick Chair in Writing, University of Delaware. Nota that this lecture takes place in the evening (in Swedish time). Abstract: How to Succeed in Intermediality Without Really Being Lars Elleström Lars Elleström’s approach to intermedial studies was so ambitious and all-encompassing that some scholars inspired by his work might find his analytical precision and his prodigious grasp of, and for, new material too daunting to make effective models for their own work. This presentation seeks to encourage new research in intermedial studies along two obviously contradictory lines: scholarship that seeks to establish itself by imitating Elleström’s own approach, and scholarship that aims to establish new perspectives by following a contrary approach. Focusing on the analysis of three examples of qualified media that have so far largely escaped scrutiny by intermedial scholars, the presentation aims to demonstrate not only that following in Elleström’s footsteps and challenging his principles and protocols at every step are equally reasonable ways to undertake intermedial studies, but that Elleström’s own work incorporates and anticipates them both. The lecture is on Wednesday 8. June 17.15-19.00 CEST (Swedish summertime). This lecture is completely digital. You are welcome to participate via zoom: https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/63994556354?pwd=T1ZBVW91QkFkWXdhV0lKSW9qRUVKZz09. This lecture is part of the IMS lecture series 'Meeting Media Minds – Critical Legacies of Lars Elleström' (MMM). The MMM is a series of open, online lectures intended to commemorate and discuss the work of Lars Elleström. The invited speakers have been asked to talk about and discuss one of Lars Elleström’s concepts in relation to their own work. The lectures will further include a consideration of how the concept can be used and developed in future research, and an open discussion.

[Publik.ims] 2 Intermedial eco-criticism events, Media Impact, and book launch: four IMS events in Nov and Dec

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, A lot of exiting things are happening in the coming month with invited researchers/artists talking about eco critique and media, a book release, and Media Impact, so here is an overview: * 25. Nov. 15.30-16.00: Media Impact talk with Emma Tornborg- "Låt Donald Trump uttrycka dina känslor! GIFS i sociala medier" * This event is in Swedish När vi delar en GIF låter vi kända personer uttrycka våra känslor för oss. Emma Tornborg berättar mer om vad som händer med gester som blir ryckta ur sitt sammanhang och hur det påverkar samtalet på sociala medier. Read more: https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/current/events/2021/media-impact… * 1. Dec. 10.15-12.00: IMS Seminar – book release for Intermedial Studies: An Introduction to Meaning Across Media, Edited by Jørgen Bruhn and Beate Schirrmacher and written as a collaborative project between IMS researchers and other intermedial scholars. * The book is available as open access here: https://doi-org.proxy.lnu.se/10.4324/9781003174288 Read more: https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/current/events/2021/ims-book-rel… * 8. Dec. 13.15-15.00: Artist’s talk by Adam Dickinson – ”From Lab Rat to Lab Art: Ecopoetics in the Laboratory” * What happens when poetry and science meet in the laboratory? Arguing for an expanded notion of writing that involves scientific technology and procedures, this artist’s talk will feature the poetics and research involved with my ongoing work that seeks to make legible the often inscrutable biological and cultural writing intrinsic to the Anthropocene, especially as this is reflected in the inextricable link between the metabolic processes of human and nonhuman bodies and the global metabolism of energy and capital. Adam Dickinson is the author of four books of poetry. His latest book, Anatomic (Coach House Books), which won the Alanna Bondar Memorial Book Prize from the Association for Literature, Environment, and Culture in Canada, involves the results of chemical and microbial testing on his body. Read more: https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/current/events/2021/from-lab-rat… The seminar is financed by the Department of Film and Literature at LNU * 9. Dec. 10.15-12.00: Seminar with invited researchers – ”Manmade and Media-borne: the Ecological Crisis across Media” * In this seminar (the first of a series of events) we discuss some of the ways in which the ecological crisis is on the one hand manmade and on the other hand media-borne. In other words: we live in the Anthropocene or Capitalocene epoch which is characterized by specific human activities’ destructive effects on a planetary scale – and media are the only means by which we can both visualize, understand, and criticize this state of emergency. By way of three short introductory lectures different perspectives on the matter will be offered – followed by a panel discussion. * Program: 10.15 Erik Erlanson, Linnæus University, Introduction   10.20-10.40 Jacob Wamberg, Aarhus University, “Entropic Reboot: Toward a Posthuman Media Ecology of Avant-Garde Art”   10.40-11.00 Julia Leyda, NTNU, Trondheim, “Petro-Guilt in Norwegian Television”   11.00-11.20 Jørgen Bruhn, Linnæus University, “Environmental emergencies across media”   11.20-12.00 Panel discussion and Q&A: “Media and the Ecological Crisis”.

[Publik.ims] Next week's IMS seminar with Beate Schirrmacher on truth claims in faked news

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, Welcome to next week’s IMS seminar, where we will discuss Beate Schirrmacher’s article draft A Story Too Good to Be True: Manipulation of Truth Claims in Faked News. Since the article draft is still in its early stages, it will not be circulated widely via this mail, but those who want to attend the seminar can obtain the article draft by replying to this mail. Note that Nafiseh Mousavi’s seminar originally scheduled next week has been moved to December. Abstract: In 2018, former German star reporter Claas Relotius had to admit that he manipulated most of his prize-winning feature stories. So why did no one for a long time suspect that his stories were a bit too good to be true? Instead of trying to tell facts from fiction, the article explores how facts and narrative interact in the factual narratives of news. Drawing on Lars Elleström’s approach to how truthfulness in communication is based on indexicality (2018) the analysis looks for indexical traces of journalistic work in two features published in Der Spiegel: “Karam’s first day at school” by Alexander Osang (2018) and the manipulated feature “The story of Ahmed and Alin” by Claas Relotius (2016). The analysis explores how observed and verifiable details interact with elements of internal and external coherence. In Osang’s feature, the different indexical relations are closely connected yet clearly separated. Main events are grounded in several indexical relations. In Relotius’ manipulated feature, the different indexical relations are not easily identified, and elements of coherence point towards each other instead of being grounded in observed and verifiable detail. This kind of analysis makes it possible to start to describe more in detail how a factual narrative is truthfully or only deficiently grounded in actual events. It is possible to attend the seminar both from Dacke in Växjö and via zoom: https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/940933326 The seminar is on the 20 Oct. from 10.15-12.00 CEST.

[Publik.ims] Cfp 6th Conference of the International Society for Intermedial Studies

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Cfp In Between and Across: New Directions, Mappings and Contact Zones Venue Trinity College, Dublin Dates 1-2-3 September 2022 Organising Committee Prof Clodagh Brook (TCD), Dr Cecilia Brioni (TCD) Scientific Council Prof Clodagh Brook (TCD), Prof Florian Mussgnug (UCL), Prof Giuliana Pieri (RHUL), Dr Marco Bellardi (TCD), Dr Cecilia Brioni (TCD), Dr Eleonora Lima (TCD), Dr Adele Bardazzi (TCD), Dr Emanuela Patti (University of Edinburgh) Partners Trinity College Dublin, Royal Holloway, UCL, Interdisciplinary Italy Keynote addresses The conference will showcase 3 keynote addresses by: · Marion Schmid, Professor of French Literature and Film, University of Edinburgh. · Nicola Camerlenghi, Associate Professor, Dartmouth College. · Ravi Sundaram, Professor, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS), Delhi. Conference Description The 6th conference of the International Society for Intermedial Studies focuses on concepts of ‘inbetweenness’ and ‘moving across’. These two spatial metaphors capture the tension between stasis and fluidity that underlies all intermediality. The need to map these shifting spaces, to chart directions, and to see where, and how, these inbetween zones connect to other neighbouring spaces has become critical. Intermedial ‘inbetweenness’ is now a mainstream, rather than marginal, phenomenon, and, as academic disciplines themselves become more fluid, this is an exciting time to explore and re-explore this territory together during this conference. We invite contributions in the following categories, which address, but are not limited to, the topics outlined below. More detailed context and questions can be found on the full CfP online (See below) · Inbetween and across disciplines · Inbetween and across geographies, ecologies and cultures · Inbetween and across arts. · Inbetween and across technologies Key Dates 15 January 2022: Deadline for panel submissions. 1 February 2022: Deadline for paper submissions. 1 February 2022: Deadline for roundtables and workshops submissions All submissions should be sent to the e-mail address intermedialconference2022 at tcd.ie<mailto:intermedialconference2022 at tcd.ie> by the relevant deadline Notification of acceptance will be communicated on 1 March 2022.

Durante o encerramento, lançamos a ideia de nos reunirmos novamente, e a colega Ágnes Pethő demonstrou interesse em sediar um próximo encontro. Para esse segundo encontro, devemos levar em conta que: * Em setembro de 2022, haverá a conferência do ISIS em Dublin, então precisamos evitar a coincidência de datas; * O II Encontro, assim como os próximos, pode ser realizado online. Nos pareceu que esse formato é apropriado para que possamos reunir o maior número de colegas de diferentes lugares. Além disso, o formato online permite a participação efetiva de todos. Pensamos, também, em criar um arquivo no Google Docs, para que possamos partilhar nossas apresentações. Aqueles que quiserem compartilhar a síntese apresentada, enviem-na por email. Aguardamos o retorno de vocês, com sugestões e comentários. Mais uma vez, obrigada. Abraços cordiais, Comissão Organizadora do 1º Encontro Internacional de Pesquisadores em Intermidialidade ------------------------------------ Dear colleagues, we would like to thank all of you for the participation in the 1st International Meeting of Researchers in Intermediality. The event positively overcame our expectations, not only in the number, but mainly in the engagement of the participants. Besides the fruitful discussions under different perspectives, we risk to say that it might have been the beginning of a global research network on Intermediality. During the meeting closure, we launched the idea of getting together again, and Ágnes Pethő showed interest in hosting another meeting. For such, it should be taken into account that: * In September 2022, there will be the ISIS conference in Dublin, so we need to avoid the same date; * This 2nd International Meeting, as well as the follow up ones, can be held online. It seemed to us that this online format is suitable for gathering many colleagues from different places and promotes an effective participation of all the involved. Last, but not least, we thought about creating a file on Google Docs to share our presentations. Those interested in sharing the presented research summary, please send it to us by email. We would love to hear your comments and suggestions.

[Publik.ims] Next week's IMS seminar with Emilio Audissino on Film/Music Analysis

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, Welcome to next week’s IMS seminar, Emilio Audissino (senior lecturer in Media and Audiovisual Production at LNU) will give a presentation on his proposal for an approach to Film/Music analysis. Abstract: Film/Music Analysis: An Approach ‘Film/Music Analysis’ is the name I give to my proposal for an alternative approach to the study of music in films (Audissino 2017). By ‘film music analysis’ the general understanding – influenced by the musicological dominance in the film-music discipline – is that one is performing either a musicological study of the musical text (the score) or a musico-dramaturgic examination of a film’s music track. By this new label I wish to stress the inescapably interrelational nature of music and images in the audiovisual artefact. I foster an approach that be more film studies-oriented than musicological, and this can be achieved by tackling music as a cinematic device within a larger and interconnected formal and stylistic system. My take is to adopt a Gestalt-based perspective, with music seen as one micro-configuration and visuals as another micro-configuration, the two fusing into an audiovisual macro-configuration. This Gestalt approach – being based on the fusion of the aural and visual factors into a whole – is not only useful to provide alternative analytical tools but is also helpful to supersede the long-standing visual bias that to some extent still influences film studies (on this, see Rick Altman 1980; Kathryn Kalinak 1992, for example), which leads to think of music as something that is externally added to either reinforce or contradict what is already there in the visuals. A common issue when discussing music and film is to adopt – whether consciously or not – a ‘separatist’ approach, one in which music and visuals are conceptualised as two distinct entities. A ‘non separatist’ approach should conceptualise the audiovisual product as a whole in which music and visuals have a potentially equal importance and agency. When music meets the visuals, it does not merely add something to a meaning that is already there – as theorised by Noël Carroll in his ‘modifying music’ proposal, for example (Carroll 1996) – but a fusion happens between the two elements whose result is a new meaning that was not present in either of the separate elements, a multiplication in which the single factors change one another, in which ‘the whole is different from the sum of its parts’ (Kurt Koffka 1935). Within this Gestalt-informed conceptualisation, I offer more specific guidelines for practical film/music analysis. Music typically performs three types of functions in film and media: emotive function (micro-emotive and macro-emotive), perceptive function (temporal-perceptive and spatial-perceptive), and cognitive function (denotative-cognitive and connotative-cognitive). These functions are mapped onto the activities in which the audioviewer is engaged during the fruition of a film or media product – emotion, perception, cognition. This set of functions, like a compass, can help the analyst individuate what the music does within the film’s formal system in the three areas of engagement and examine how a micro-configuration contributes to the macro-configuration. Biographical Notes Emilio Audissino is Senior Lecturer in Media and Audiovisual Production at Linnaeus University, Sweden. He holds one PhD in History of Visual and Performing Arts from the University of Pisa (Italy) and one PhD in Film Studies from the University of Southampton (UK). His areas of specialism are Hollywood and Italian cinema and media, and his research interests are: film history; audiovisual style and technique; screenwriting; neoformalism; textual analysis of film and media; comedy; horror; and sound and music in media. He is the author of The Film Music of John Williams. Reviving Hollywood’s Classical Style (University of Wisconsin Press, 2021, second revised and expanded edition of the 2014 book John Williams’s Film Music), the first book-length study in English on the composer, and the editor of the collection of essays John Williams. Music for Films, Television and the Concert Stage (Brepols, 2018). His book Film/Music Analysis. A Film Studies Approach (Palgrave Macmillan, 2017) concerns a method for audiovisual analysis that blends Neoformalism and Gestalt Psychology. He co-edited the volume Cinema Changes: Incorporations of Jazz in the Film Soundtrack (Brepols, 2019), and he is currently co-editing a handbook about music in comedy cinema, under contract with Palgrave Macmillan – both with Emile Wennekes (Utrecht University).

[Publik.ims] Next week's IMS seminar, with Nina Grønlykke Mollerup presenting on "'Well, Assad is still there…' - Violence, temporality and images for elsewhen"

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, Welcome to next week’s IMS seminar, where we will be visited by Nina Grønlykke Mollerup (associate professor of ethnology at the Centre for Advanced Migration Studies at Saxo Department, University of Copenhagen), who will give a presentation titled 'Well, Assad is still there…' - Violence, temporality and images for elsewhen. Abstract: This presentation explores the temporality of images of violence through the prism of the unprecedented visual documentation of the past decade's historic uprisings in Egypt and Syria and the ensuing violence. This period could pertinently be termed, not only a time of uprisings, but also a 'Time of the Image' (cf. Bryant and Knight 2019:30; Hobbes 1962:100). The Time of the Image, capitalised, designates a period in history in which images have been significant, but where images have also been 'a way of organising time itself' (Bryant and Knight 2019:30). Engagements with images are inherently a temporalizing practice, always entangled in other times. When an image is taken, it already reaches into the past, carrying along a presence of a certain time and place and through this preservation, it reaches into the future. As Roland Barthes (1981, 91-93) has argued, photographs violently force on us time's passage (cf. Bryant 2014, 692). But by bringing a moment forward and at times entailing re-membering the past, it can also provide orientations towards the future. The presentation draws on ethnographic fieldwork carried out over the past 13 years with Egyptian and Syrian activists, photographers, journalists and archivists, and NGO-workers, who have been at the forefront of visually documenting violence in the two countries and preserving this documentation. For a while, these images were urgent. Shared immediately with fellow protesters as well as on newspaper front-pages and in evening news across the globe, these images were crucially invested in the politics of the present. While hope and urgent engagements in the present turned to trauma and despair, these images are now part of compelling archiving efforts, put together as a collective testament for other times. This presentation focuses on how these images are revisited, reconstructed and employed for new purposes, allowing for engagements with future-making. Bio: Nina Grønlykke Mollerup is associate professor of ethnology at the Centre for Advanced Migration Studies at Saxo Department, University of Copenhagen. She was trained as an anthropologist and holds a PhD in communication. She has worked extensively on practices of visually documenting (mainly) state-sanctioned violence in relation to the uprisings and ensuing violence in Egypt and Syria. She has published in journals like Social Analysis and Journalism Practice and is chair of the EASA Media Anthropology Network e-seminar series.

[Publik.ims] Media Impact talk: "Carrying stories across borders: migration in, with, and across media" with Nafiseh Mousavi, 30 Sep.

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, The autumn season of IMS’ popular-scientific talks on ‘Media Impact’ is commencing on Sep. 30 at 15.30-16.00. We begin with Nafiseh Mousavi giving a talk on Carrying stories across borders: migration in, with, and across media. How can stories that adapt to new media tell stories about migration? Sometimes translation between languages is not enough for a story to travel between cultures. Nafiseh Mousavi presents how authors like Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis) and Atiq Rahimi (The Patience Stone) use different media like comics, novels, and films to retell their stories to a new audience. The presentation will be held as a Zoom Webinar, the link will be published on our webpage on the same day. The presentation will be held in English. Nafiseh Mousavi <https://lnu.se/en/staff/nafiseh.mousavi/> holds a PhD in Comparative Literature and teaches at Linnaeus University. She is a member of Linnaeus University Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies (IMS). Besides her academic work, she writes stories, has collaborated with a few documentary films as a writer, and has worked as a translator for several years.
