[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.

[Publik.ims] Next week's IMS seminar and reminder for Joacim Lindh's final seminar

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, Welcome to next week’s IMS seminar, will Lars Elleström will present his article draft on “Media Translation and Media Transformation” (attached). Reading instructions from Lars Elleström: The article is intended for an upcoming Routledge handbook of translation theory. The editors have asked me to present my own ideas with references to other research (not to make an overview of intermedial and multimodal translation research). Some of you will recognize quite a lot from my earlier publications, although in a condensed and partly newly structured form. Some of the old stuff is also partly reconceptualized. I apologize for the length of the draft. Although I’m free to submit an extensive first draft, the editors will probably ask me to abridge it in the end. I’ve struggled hard to cut it down but failed. How shall I proceed with this? I ask you to please reflect especially on the last section, “From Media Translation to Media Transformation”. The overview here is not very reader-friendly, I fear, but I don’t know what to do about it. The conclusion remains to be written simply because of lack of time. What is needed here? Thanks for your patience, Lars The seminar is on the 1. Sep from 10.15-12.00 CEST. As always the seminar will be on zoom: https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/940933326 Remember that Joacim Lindh will also have a seminar on the 1. September from 13.00-15.00 CEST. This is his final seminar before his defense, where we will discuss his thesis draft (this has been mailed out in a previous mail), ”Tingsrätten håller huvudförhandling. Språkliga och multimodala perspektiv i brottmålsrättegångar”. This seminar is in Swedish and will be held on zoom (NB: this is not in the IMS zoom room): https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/7509655842.

[Publik.ims] PhD defence 10 Sep.: "Musicalized Characters: A study of music, multimodality, and the empiric child perspective on mainstream animation"

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear IMS, IFL and friends of IMS As some of you are probably aware, my PhD defence is coming up. The defence will take place on the 10 September from 13.00-16.00 (Swedish time), and it will be possible to join either in person on campus or online via zoom. For those of you who want to participate online, the link will be published on the same day here: https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/current/events/2021/public-defen… The thesis (including a comprehensive appendix with summaries of the transcriptions) Musicalized Characters: A study of music, multimodality, and the empiric child perspective on mainstream animation is now available online for those of you who want to read it, and you can find it here: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:lnu:diva-106204. For those of you who want to participate in person, the defense will be in Weber at the LNU campus in Växjö. After the defense, we will have a small reception, and in the evening, I hope many of you will join me in town for dinner and/or drinks (but, unfortunately, at your own expense) to celebrate. If any of you already know that you plan to come to the reception and/or dinner in town, could you please email me so I can have some idea about how many people to expect? Thesis abstract: This thesis is an audience reception study of film music and animation film. It focuses on the musical construction of characters, looking at how music becomes meaningful in film and how this meaning becomes part of child audiences' interpretation of filmic characters. To examine these questions, the thesis combines an interdisciplinary theoretical framework based on audience studies, multimodality, and film music studies with an empirical enquiry into child audiences' reception. Drawing on this theoretical and empirical synthesis, the thesis proposes two models of relevance to our understanding of reception and film music: 1. A new model for conceptualising film music as a multimodal system that combines with other semiotic systems to construct a multimodal dimension – the way this multimodal dimension is constructed affects the film's interpretive openness. 2. A general model for understanding reception as an active encounter between a multimodal text and an active audience. The model proposes that reception is constrained on three interconnected levels: 1) the affordances of the multimodal text, 2) the framing following from the communicative situation as well as from the social position, personal experiences, and knowledge of the audiences, and 3) the multimodal dimension. In the thesis, the musical strategies and multimodal semiotic potential of Frozen (2013), Up (2009) and Shrek the Third (2007) are discussed and compared with Danish children's (aged 7-11) expressed understandings of the films (obtained through interviews). In this way, the thesis sheds light on how children relate to and use filmic form, particularly music, in negotiating the films’ content. The thesis shows that children are active and critical viewers with a broad film-musical literacy. The children draw on knowledge of film-musical conventions for creating mood and narrative expectations, and they comment on leitmotif techniques and make references to famous film music. The aesthetic elements of music and visuals are moreover a motivational factor for their enjoyment of the films, and the children use their personal experiences and cultural background for creating a frame within which to evaluate both the music, the characters, and the film as a whole. You can find more information about the thesis and the defense here: https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/current/events/2021/public-defen… I look forward to seeing you on the 10!

[Publik.ims] Next week's IMS seminar: Guest Alzbeta Jurkovicova on 'Media Integration in the Works of Tage Danielsson'

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, Welcome to next week’s IMS seminar, where Alzbeta Jurkovicova, a visiting PhD student from Brno, will present her work-in-progress project about Media Integration in the Works of Tage Danielsson. Abstract: In my presentation, I first set out to explore media integration in two specific examples of Tage Danielsson's literary works: Mannen som slutade röka: en psykisk thriller and Grallimatik: struntpratets fysiologi. Both these media products are characterized by strong multimodality and they are dominated by several different kinds of semiotic signs. The presentation aims to explore the substantial integration of text and image, as well as to focus on mechanisms that come into play in the process of interpretation and perception of the mentioned works. I analyse how the verbal texts and the still images are connected and communicate together, and how meaning is created through the combination and integration of these expressions in various degrees. In the presentation's third part, I subsequently explore intermedial transfers and transformations present in the film adaptation Mannen som slutade röka. The seminar is on the 9. June from 10.15-12.00 CEST. As always the seminar will be on zoom: https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/940933326 Best wishes, Signe – on behalf of IMS IMS on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LNU.IMS IMS public email list: https://lists.sunet.se/listinfo/publik.ims IMS website: https://lnu.se/en/research/searchresearch/linnaeus-university-centre-for-in… Signe Kjaer Jensen PhD student in Comparative Literature Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies (IMS) Linnæus University Department of Film and Literature 351 95 Växjö Sweden https://lnu.se/personal/signe.kjaerjensen/ signe.kjaerjensen at lnu.se<mailto:signe.kjaerjensen at lnu.se>

[Publik.ims] Next week's IMS seminar: Guest - Sarah Mygind, “Cluster Works: Children’s Literature in Transmedia Motion”

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, Welcome to next week’s IMS seminar. IMS, in collaboration with CHILLL<https://lnu.se/en/research/searchresearch/childhood-research-in-literature-…>, has invited Sarah Mygind (PhD, Assistant Professor at Comparative Literature and Center for Children’s Literature and Media, Aarhus University) who will give a presentation on “Cluster Works: Children’s Literature in Transmedia Motion” Abstract: Media works for children and young adults are increasingly designed, produced and experienced across digital as well as print-based media. These works do not necessarily exist in a clear hierarchical order with primary and secondary texts, on the contrary, the texts often work together to create a unified whole. With children’s literature as its point of departure, this talk will unfold some of the implications of this new transmedia condition. Read more about Sarah Mygind here.<https://pure.au.dk/portal/en/persons/sarah-mygind(7287a5c3-b5bf-4e23-b1cc-d…> The seminar is on the 2 June from 10.15-12.00 CEST.

[Publik.ims] Welcome to the "Media Impact" series, with Pedro Atã on the connection between surprise and poetry

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, *Sorry for cross posting* We would like to draw your attention to a newly started series of IMS-webinars called ‘Media Impact’, a series that showcases current IMS research in a short, popular format. The series is intended for everyone with an interest in media and culture, everyone who wants to learn more about how daily media choices affect communication and meaning in art, popular culture, and mass media, and everyone who wants to get a first impression of what research at IMS is about. The series can for example be of interest to teachers, students, communicators, journalists and cultural workers, but also established academics can take advantage of the series to get a quick introduction to new research. Especially in the beginning of the series, we would like to ask you to support the talks as audience and to spread the word to colleagues and other people who could be interested. All talks will be ca. 15 minutes long and streamed live online, with the chance to ask questions. The talks are free to attend, but you will need to register on the IMS website. The talks will also be video recorded and available to watch afterwards. The first couple of talks will be in English, but in time, we will also have talks in Swedish. So far, we have two talks scheduled, but more talks will be announced for the autumn term: * May 27 at 15.30-16.00 CEST: “’You didn't see that coming!’ How to tackle breaks of expectation with poetry” with Pedro Atã. Description: Poetry experiments teach us to not take stable meanings for granted and to work in alliance with breaks of expectation. In this talk, Pedro Atã will explain how poetry can teach you to deal with the unexpected. Pedro Atã holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from Linnaeus University. He researches surprise and creativity between media and is especially interested in experimental and improvisational procedures in arts and literature.

[Publik.ims] Next week's IMS seminar: Nafiseh mousavi, “Non-human in refugee narratives,” post-doc research application in-progress"

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, Welcome to next week’s IMS seminar, where Nafiseh Mousavi will present her ideas for a possible post-doc project. Title: “Non-human in refugee narratives,” post-doc research application in-progress Message from Nafiseh about the seminar: Next week at the IMS seminar, I will present a preliminary plan for a research project with which I intend to apply for post-doc funds. I have already presented the idea briefly within the intermedial eco-criticism group. In this seminar, I will give a further detailed and modified presentation on the topic, with a specific focus on its intermedial, narrative, and representational aspects. To frame it briefly, my idea is to look at a range of literary media products (novels, graphic novels, and autobiographical narratives) that represent the refugee experience, mainly from an insider’s perspective. The aim is to look at the ecology of the refugee experience, as depicted in these works, by investigating the human/non-human interactions that determine the refugees' journeys, border-crossings, and encampment experiences. This investigation is intended to be further situated in the broader frame of ‘precarity of human-ness’ that affects the refugee situation. At this stage, this project is still more of a reading/thinking-in-progress, so I thought a verbal-visual presentation would make more sense than a fuzzy draft. That’s why I’ll present the application. The seminar is on the 12 May from 10.15-12.00 CEST. As always the seminar will be on zoom: https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/940933326 Best wishes, Signe – on behalf of IMS Signe Kjaer Jensen PhD student in Comparative Literature Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies (IMS) Linnæus University Department of Film and Literature 351 95 Växjö Sweden https://lnu.se/personal/signe.kjaerjensen/ signe.kjaerjensen at lnu.se<mailto:signe.kjaerjensen at lnu.se> IMS on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LNU.IMS IMS public email list: https://lists.sunet.se/listinfo/publik.ims IMS website: https://lnu.se/en/research/searchresearch/linnaeus-university-centre-for-in…

[Publik.ims] Next week's IMS seminar: Signe Jensens final seminar, 21. april

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, This is a quick reminder that next week we have an extended IMS seminar, starting at 9.00, where I, Signe, will present and discuss my thesis draft. Kim Christian Schrøder, Department of Communication and Arts, Roskilde University, Denmark, professor in Audiences and Mediated Life, is the opponent. If any of you have not received the thesis, and want to have a look at it before the seminar, please email me at ims at lnu.se. Abstract: This thesis is an audience reception study of film music and animation film, centered around the ways that animated characters are constructed as psychological beings which children can understand and identify with – as if they were real humans. The analysis considers the narrative context of a character but is particularly focused on the musical and multimodal construction of a character, meaning particular attention is put on how character traits are communicated by the use of music, voice, colours, camera perspective, etc. This analysis of the construction of characters is then compared to actual child audiences’ expressions of their experiences and interpretations, obtained through observations and interviews, in order to highlight how children understand and relate to the material they are presented to. Understanding and interpreting an animated film is conditioned by the structure of that film, but interpretation is also conditioned by the communicative situation and social position of the audience, as well as personal experiences, and as such no ‘absolute’ interpretation can be made, not even within a uniform group. This does not mean that we shouldn’t aim to understand how people process and relate to media, however, or to understand how children experience the animated films that are so immensely popular, overflowing our mainstream culture.

[Publik.ims] Signe Jensens final seminar: A study of music, multimodality, and the empiric child perspective on mainstream animation, 21. april

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, On the 21, it is time for my ‘final PhD seminar’, where professor Kim Schrøder will act as discussant, and we will go through and discuss my thesis draft. If any of you are not familiar with the Swedish concept of ‘final seminars’ for PhD students, I can inform you that it is an extended text seminar, normally held about 4-6 months before a doctoral defense, where a close-to-finished thesis draft is discussed. There will normally be a short introduction to the thesis by the PhD student, and then a discussant will go through the whole text. In the end, there will be time for general discussion. The seminar will be between 2 and 3 hours long. I have tried and have been unable to send the thesis draft to you via this email list, my guess is the file is too large to go through, so if any of you are interested in reading the draft before the seminar, please send an email to ims at lnu.se<mailto:ims at lnu.se>, and I will send the draft to you personally. Abstract: This thesis is an audience reception study of film music and animation film, centered around the ways that animated characters are constructed as psychological beings which children can understand and identify with – as if they were real humans. The analysis considers the narrative context of a character but is particularly focused on the musical and multimodal construction of a character, meaning particular attention is put on how character traits are communicated by the use of music, voice, colours, camera perspective, etc. This analysis of the construction of characters is then compared to actual child audiences’ expressions of their experiences and interpretations, obtained through observations and interviews, in order to highlight how children understand and relate to the material they are presented to. Understanding and interpreting an animated film is conditioned by the structure of that film, but interpretation is also conditioned by the communicative situation and social position of the audience, as well as personal experiences, and as such no ‘absolute’ interpretation can be made, not even within a uniform group. This does not mean that we shouldn’t aim to understand how people process and relate to media, however, or to understand how children experience the animated films that are so immensely popular, overflowing our mainstream culture. By analysing the multimodal semiotic potential of three selected films, Frozen (2013), Up (2009) and Shrek the Third (2007), and comparing these analyses with children’s multimodal expressions (children often communicate through gestures or by humming or signing, necessitating multimodal interview transcriptions) of their understandings and opinions, it is the goal of this thesis to shed light on the ways that children relate to and use filmic form, particularly music, in negotiating the content, particularly characters, of the film, in a process where meaning is created in the active reception process of a child in a communicative situation The seminar is, as mentioned, on the 21. Note that it starts 1 hour early at 9.00 CEST. As always, the seminar will be on zoom: https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/940933326 I hope to see many of you there!

[Publik.ims] Next week's IMS seminar with Li Ling Siew on "A Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis of Political Visual Arts of Civil Disobedience Movement in Hong Kong"

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, Welcome to next week’s IMS seminar, We will be visited by PhD student Li Ling Siew, who will present her project titled: An eye for an eye? Or Lost in Transmediation? A Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis of Political Visual Arts of Civil Disobedience Movement in Hong Kong. Abstract: Civil disobedience movement or social movement is often perceived as a tool to bring about political and social change. Using the Hong Kong anti-extradition bill protest as a case study, I explore the discursive constructions of social movement in media discourse and how they are ideologically produced through semiotic resources in multimodal modes. This work-in-progress includes critical reading on multimodal corpora collected from news articles by various media agencies, and user responses (such as writings, anecdotes and visual artworks) on social media platforms curated by ordinary citizens showing solidarity for different political affiliations. The interpretations of the event as reflected in the corpora through various modal assemblages offer contrary realities to the “official” public announcements and condemnations by the Hong Kong government agencies. In particular, the creation and sharing of political visual arts such as posters, memes, cartoons, and satires capture the complex multimodal representations of contestations, identities and values in relation to the social movement, to which some are used as a repetitive prompt or an ideological tool to create more visual expressions for political propaganda. Political visual arts often enable audiences to consider or reflect on perspectives on the reality surrounding the causes they are protesting, such as the larger socio-political context that a real photograph cannot. I am more intrigued to investigate as to what could possibly go “wrong” during the continual process of mediation when the primary text (such as a video or photograph captured by reporters, protesters, or civilians at the site of the protest) which serves as a prompt for propaganda is being transferred from one mode to another. Using a case study that involves a young woman who suffered a severe eye injury during one of the demonstrations in Hong Kong, I intend to examine the discursive construction of multimodal semiotic modes which are ideologically loaded in constructing visual representations of the protest. The conflicting realities offered by various media sources prompt me to reflect on the values, truthfulness and truth claims in the representation of facts and actual events of the Hong Kong protest in dominant media discourse. How is the primary text being changed into a series of aesthetic art forms for political propaganda? What aspects and messages of the primary are being Li Ling Siew is a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Languages and Linguistics, University of Malaya, Malaysia. The seminar is, as always, on Wednesday, April 14, at 10.15 – 12.00 (CEST) on zoom: https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/940933326 Best wishes, Signe – on behalf of IMS Signe Kjaer Jensen PhD student in Comparative Literature Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies (IMS) Linnæus University Department of Film and Literature 351 95 Växjö Sweden https://lnu.se/personal/signe.kjaerjensen/ signe.kjaerjensen at lnu.se<mailto:signe.kjaerjensen at lnu.se> IMS on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LNU.IMS IMS public email list: https://lists.sunet.se/listinfo/publik.ims

[Publik.ims] IMS seminar 7 april with Jamie Sherry on "Closing visual codas: Infidelities, Diversions and Radical Practices in Adaptations"

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, I hope you are having, or are about to have, a lovely easter! Next week on our IMS seminar, we will be visited by Jamie Sherry, who will give a presentation on “Closing visual codas: Infidelities, Diversions and Radical Practices in Adaptations”. Abstract This paper will partially question how the screenplay functions as a bridging tool in the ‘liminal’ phase between two media, and the ways in which this extra narrative layer conforms to postmodern storytelling techniques in which the extraneous details of production performance become critically important to the film viewer’s reception (in adaptations such as The Five Obstructions (2003) and Under the Skin (2013)). These arguments are informed by Christine Geraghty’s position that adaptations “differ from other fiction films because they emphasize rather than hide the performance that that is involved in putting a script on screen,” and that in doing so they “create a gap in which we can see the act of making fiction.” This will serve to highlight the industrial function of the adapted screenplay as adaptation performance, and consider broader notions of film practice that exert influence on the production of remediated film. This paper will argue that various practices undertaken during production form a meta-narrative of performance that infiltrate audiences’ reading of the film. This paper will also examine these multiple acts of distancing by evaluating the increasingly and accumulatively unfaithful adapted screenplays. The paper will cast its net wide to consider the functions of resolution and closures in film adaptations, considering cinematic, visual codas in place of literary resolutions. Film adaptations such as Sunrise (1927), Apocalypse Now (1979), Stalker (1979), Where the Wild Things Are (2009), We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011) and Under the Skin (2013) provide valuable discourses on the process of remediation, and the techniques used by cinema to provide resolution, closure, and continuation. Biography Jamie Sherry is Reader in English at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK, working within the Centre for Adaptations, and co-organising the Association of Adaptation Studies annual conference since 2007. He is co-editor for the Journal of Screenwriting and is a steering committee member for the Screenwriting Research Network. Jamie is also a practicing screenwriter and script-editor for UK film and media production companies, including Working Title, BBC Films and Screen Yorkshire. He has published research on the industrial and theoretical processes of adaptation through production and screenwriting and will publish the monograph Screenwriting Film Adaptations: The History, Practice and Theory of the Adapted Screenplay on Palgrave Macmillan in 2022. The seminar is, as always, on Wednesday, April 7, at 10.15 – 12.00 (CEST) on zoom: https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/940933326 Best wishes, Signe – on behalf of IMS IMS on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LNU.IMS IMS public email list: https://lists.sunet.se/listinfo/publik.ims Signe Kjaer Jensen PhD student in Comparative Literature Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies (IMS) Linnæus University Department of Film and Literature 351 95 Växjö Sweden https://lnu.se/personal/signe.kjaerjensen/ signe.kjaerjensen at lnu.se<mailto:signe.kjaerjensen at lnu.se>

[Publik.ims] Next week's IMS seminar with Gilbert Ambrazaitis on 'Audiovisual prominence perception'

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, Welcome to next week’s IMS seminar, where Gilbert Ambrazaitis will give a presentation on Audiovisual prominence perception. The seminar will be a project presentation and not a text discussion, so reading-preparation is not necessary, but if anyone do wish to read up on multimodal prosodic prominence before the seminar, Gilbert has provided two brief texts: one article (5 pages) and one longer project abstract. Abstract: Prosodic prominence (= highlighting syllables or words in spoken language) is signaled through a combination of acoustic properties. This is well established. Likewise, there is plenty of evidence suggesting that prominent words are regularly accompanied by, and temporally aligned with, rapid movements by various part of the body (e.g., hands, the head, the eyebrows). Such gestures are often assumed to be part of the multimodal make-up of prominence production. However, the question whether and how such visible cues might contribute to prominence perception has not been addressed sufficiently in previous research yet. In this talk I will review some existing evidence and present and discuss own preliminary results from audiovisual and audio-only prominence ratings of clips from Swedish television news readings, collected from 85 adult Swedish participants using a web-based interface The seminar is, as always, on Wednesday, March 24, at 10.15 – 12.00 (CET) on zoom: https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/940933326 Best wishes, Signe – on behalf of IMS IMS on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LNU.IMS IMS public email list: https://lists.sunet.se/listinfo/publik.ims Signe Kjaer Jensen PhD student in Comparative Literature Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies (IMS) Linnæus University Department of Film and Literature 351 95 Växjö Sweden https://lnu.se/personal/signe.kjaerjensen/ signe.kjaerjensen at lnu.se<mailto:signe.kjaerjensen at lnu.se>

[Publik.ims] Nafiseh Mousavi's viva, Friday 19 March

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, We won’t have an IMS seminar this week, but we have something even better! Nafiseh Mousavi will have her digital PhD defence on Migratory self-adaptation on Friday, 19 March! Nafiseh’s defence of her thesis "The Art of Repeating Oneself. Migratory self-adaption: media choice, self-location and authorship" will take place as a public, digital event from 13.00 CET - ca. 16.00 CET. Read more about the defence and how to get access here: https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/current/events/2021/public-defen… You can also read Nafiseh's full thesis here: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:lnu:diva-101334<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Furn.kb.se%2Fresolve%3Furn%3Durn…> Abbreviated abstract: This thesis studies the process and products of migratory self-adaptation: the practice of a migrant author recreating their own work in a new medium, and the baggage it brings with it. Migratory self-adaptation is developed and analyzed in this research through a comparative and processual analysis of two cases of adaptation: Persepolis, a French autobiographical graphic novel written and drawn by Marjane Satrapi, the Franco- Iranian artist and writer, later turned into an animation movie co-written and codirected by Satrapi herself; and The Patience Stone, a novel written in French by Atiq Rahimi, the Franco-Afghan author, which is adapted to a homonymous film in Dari- Persian, co-written and directed by the author. With their intercultural position, migrant authors face particular challenges of positionality, visibility, inclusion, and survival. Various strategies have been developed to address these challenges and migratory self-adaptation, as is argued and demonstrated throughout this research, which brings several of these strategies together. The research argues that the authorship constructed through migratory self-adaptation is multi-directional, transmedial, and transcultural. This multi-dimensional authorship is analyzed through the extended case studies, which include contexts as well as texts and processes alongside the products. (...) The study adopts an interdisciplinary approach in theory and methodology and develops a transmedial understanding of migrant authorship and a multi-layered understanding of adaptation. In doing so, it joins the disciplines of intermediality and adaptation studies with literature and cinema of migration and also integrates theories of authorship, translation, border, and memory. By discussing various faces of adaptation in the migratory situation and the interconnection between different cultural mechanisms, this research addresses some of the fundamental questions regarding authoring in migration, including but not restricted to translational communication, cultural difference, dynamics of inclusion and exclusion, and survival. Best wishes and see you on Friday! /Signe – on behalf of IMS IMS on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LNU.IMS IMS public email list: https://lists.sunet.se/listinfo/publik.ims Signe Kjaer Jensen PhD student in Comparative Literature Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies (IMS) Linnæus University Department of Film and Literature 351 95 Växjö Sweden https://lnu.se/personal/signe.kjaerjensen/ signe.kjaerjensen at lnu.se<mailto:signe.kjaerjensen at lnu.se>
