CFP Hands-on History: Exploring New Methodologies for Media History Research (London)

HANDS-ON HISTORY: EXPLORING NEW METHODOLOGIES FOR MEDIA HISTORY RESEARCH
8—10 February 2016
Geological Society, London

Confirmed keynote speakers:
* Prof. Susan J. Douglas (Professor of Communication Studies, University of Michigan)
* Dr. Gerard Alberts (Associate Professor of the History of Mathematics and Computing, University of Amsterdam)

“Media Scholars and Amateurs of All Countries and Disciplines, Hands-on!” *

Recent years have witnessed a growing turn to experimental historical research in the history of media technologies. In addition to archival investigation and oral history interviews, historians and enthusiasts are increasingly uncovering histories of technology through hands-on exercises in simulation and re-enactment. Equipment lovingly restored by amateurs, or preserved by national heritage collections, is being placed in the hands of the people who once operated it, provoking a new and rich flood of memories.

The turn to experimental research raises profound methodological questions. The unreliability of narrative memory is well proven, but what do we know about the limits of haptic and tactile memory? To what extent is it possible to elicit useful memories of technological arrays when parts of those arrays are missing or non-functional? How do the owners of old equipment shape the historical narratives which are stimulated by their collections?

Hands-On History is a colloquium designed to facilitate discussion of these issues between historians, users, curators and archivists (amateur and professional) who are making use of and taking part in these historical enquiries. In addition to a series of keynote presentations by leading scholars in the field, the event will also include stimulating workshops on specific focus areas. While the focus of the event will be on media technologies, broadly defined, we invite contributions from other areas of technology and from other academic disciplines.

This colloquium aims to make a decisive intervention in this emerging area of academic interest. It is part of the ADAPT project, a European Research Council funded project investigating the history of television production technologies through hands-on simulations. Research conducted by ADAPT will form a key case study for the colloquium.

In order to facilitate productive discussion, numbers will be limited. It is expected that papers presented will form the basis of an edited collection focused on hands-on historical research.
We invite proposals for research presentations, panel discussions, and historical equipment demonstrations. Presentations may take whatever format is most appropriate, and we welcome approaches which deviate from the traditional 20 minute lecture.

Please send a brief proposal to Nick Hall by 28 August 2015.

Key Concept #69: Cultural Mapping by Nancy Duxbury

The next issue of Key Concepts in intercultural Dialogue is now available. This is KC69: Cultural Mapping by Nancy Duxbury. As always, all Key Concepts are available as free PDFs; just click on the thumbnail to download. Lists organized chronologically by publication date and number, alphabetically by concept in English, and by languages into which they have been translated, are available, as is a page of acknowledgments with the names of all authors, translators, and reviewers.

Duxbury, N. (2015). Cultural mapping. Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue, 69. Available from: https://centerforinterculturaldialogue.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/kc69-cultural-mapping.pdf

The Center for Intercultural Dialogue publishes a series of short briefs describing Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue. Different people, working in different countries and disciplines, use different vocabulary to describe their interests, yet these terms overlap. Our goal is to provide some of the assumptions and history attached to each concept for those unfamiliar with it. As there are other concepts you would like to see included, send an email to the series editor, Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz. If there are concepts you would like to prepare, provide a brief explanation of why you think the concept is central to the study of intercultural dialogue, and why you are the obvious person to write up that concept.

Cultural Mapping as Critical Inquiry

Book note: Cultural Mapping as Cultural Inquiry, edited by Nancy Duxbury, W.F. Garrett-Petts, and David MacLennan, has just been published by Routledge.

This edited collection provides an introduction to the emerging interdisciplinary field of cultural mapping, offering a range of perspectives that are international in scope. As a mode of inquiry, cultural mapping is both theoretical and practical. Those involved in cultural mapping seek to explore the richness and complexity of local meanings of place. For many, these artistic and ethnographic activities are linked to strategies of change and animation. Cultural mapping has become a valuable tool in policy, planning, and sustainability initiatives. In countries and contexts across the world, cultural mapping is recognized as a legitimate way to protect cultural traditions and to give expression and value to local cultural creations.

The chapters of this book address these themes, drawing on examples from Australia, Canada, Estonia, the United Kingdom, Egypt, Italy, Malaysia, Malta, Palestine, Portugal, Singapore, Sweden, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and Ukraine. Contributors explore innovative ways to encourage urban and cultural planning, community development, artistic intervention, and public participation in cultural mapping—recognizing that public involvement and artistic practices introduce a range of challenges spanning various phases of the research process, from the gathering of data, to interpreting data, to presenting “findings” to a broad range of audiences. The book responds to the need for histories and case studies of cultural mapping that are globally distributed and that situate the practice locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.

Nancy Duxbury Profile

Nancy Duxbury holds a doctorate in Communication from Simon Fraser University, Canada, specializing in cultural policy. Since 2009, she has been a Senior Researcher at the Centre for Social Studies, University of Coimbra, Portugal and, since 2010, Co-coordinator of its Cities, Cultures and Architecture Research Group.

Her research has examined the integration of culture in local sustainable development, with an emphasis on the policy and planning frameworks that enable this; culture-based development models in smaller communities; and the emerging interdisciplinary field of cultural mapping, which bridges insights from academic inquiry, community practice, and artistic approaches to understanding and articulating place. Building on these foundations, she is now the Principal Investigator for a major three-year research and demonstration project on creative tourism in Portugal, entitled “CREATOUR: Creative Tourism Destination Development in Small Cities and Rural Areas.” The project involves five Portuguese research centres and 40 pilots, and aims to link the cultural and tourism sectors within a context of inclusive and sustainable local and regional development. Her research is interdisciplinary in nature and her events and publications are designed as meeting places that bring together academic and practice-based knowledges, including artistic perspectives and approaches.

She is a member of the European Expert Network on Culture, and was Chair of the Policies working group of a European research network on “Investigating Cultural Sustainability” (2011-2015). She is also an Adjunct Professor of the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University, of the School of Urban and Regional Planning at University of Waterloo, and of the Department of Journalism, Communication, and New Media at Thompson Rivers University, Canada. She was co-founder and Director of Research of the Creative City Network of Canada, and received a Cultural Leadership Award from the organization in 2017.

More information on her research and publications can be obtained from her academic homepage.

CFP Imagining Europe: Wars, Territories, Identities (Portugal)

Imagining Europe: Wars, Territories, Identities – Representations in Literature & the Arts
19-21 November 2015
an international conference hosted by the Faculty of Arts and Humanities
University of Porto, Portugal

Confirmed keynote speakers:
António Sousa Ribeiro (Univ. of Coimbra)
Donna Landry (Univ. of Kent)
Philip Shaw (Univ. of Leicester)

This conference is directly prompted by a commemoration: the bicentennial of the battle of Waterloo. It is a commonplace to state that the events of June 1815 proved a watershed in European history, redrawing the map of the continent and much of what came in its wake. We want to consider this, however, alongside other instances of conflict that have proved momentous in European history, including other ‘fifteens’ prior to Waterloo — e.g. Agincourt and Ceuta (1415), the 1st Jacobite rising (1715); and, crucially, the conference will focus on the imaginative consequences of such events, especially in literature and the arts.

In sum: the conference avails itself of a commemorative design to consider the consequences that a history of conflict(s) in Europe has had, within imaginative production, for an ongoing refashioning of perceived identities. We want to showcase and discuss the impact of such processes on literary and artistic representations, preferably from a comparatist perspective.

As indicated by the number in its title, this conference is the third in a series of academic events that reflect the ongoing concerns of the eponymous research group (Relational Forms), based at CETAPS (the Centre for English, Translation and Anglo-Portuguese Studies).

The organisers will welcome proposals for 20-minute papers in English responding to the above. Suggested (merely indicative) topics include:
– Europe, conflict and the imagination
– terrible beauties: European wars in literature and the arts
– rout and road: narratives of disaster and displacement
– poetry and battlefields, self and community
– reviewing the massacre: verbal and visual reenactments of war scenarios
– conflict, identity, translation: representations across media / across languages
– drama, war and Europe: ‘a nation thinking in public…’
– shooting Europe: film, war and memory

Submissions should be sent by email.

Please include the following information with your proposal:
– the full title of your paper;
– a 250-300 word description of your paper;
– your name, postal address and e-mail address;
– your institutional affiliation and position;
