Practices
of Displacement: Mapping Migration in Cinema, Contemporary Arts and Cultural
Heritage.
March 23d - 26th 2019
Gorizia
(Italy).
In occasion
of the XVII edition of the MAGIS Spring School, the Cinema and Contemporary Arts section will address the ever-topical issue of migration and its manifold
relationships to art (and film) making, curatorship and exhibition. As
suggested by Bourriaud (2007), in a global scenario contemporary art can be
seen as “a practice of displacement”, for the way it transcodes and translates
signifying elements from one context to another. If interpreted in relation to
migration as a social phenomenon, “human displacement” can constitute a
challenge to artistic practices as well as archival and curatorial ones (Ring
Petersen, 2017; Johansson, Bevelander 2017): whenever dealing with the representations
and heritage of deterritorialized communities, artworks and art institutions
become sites to negotiate cultural differences (Durrant, Lord, 2017).
We are
interested in investigating how the concept of migration gets remodulated in
those theories, practices, projects, artworks and artefacts situated in between
the realms of cinema and contemporary arts. With this aim, we will encourage
proposals addressing (but not limited to) the following research questions:
- How do contemporary artists deal with migration and displacement?
- How might the notion of mobility be channelled through different visual approaches?
- What role have media technologies played in reshaping the concept of human and iconic “displacement” and how have flows of images and sounds informed the practices of artistic documentation?
- What role have digital media and networks played in reshaping the concepts of “mobility”, and how have these data flows informed practices of artistic documentation?
- How are migrant identities exhibited and represented in the context of museums, art galleries and art institutions? Which displaying /displacing strategies are being adopted so as to reject an ethnocentric perspective?
We invite
the submission of individual paper proposals, workshop proposals and panel
proposals specifically addressing the Cinema and Contemporary Arts section.
Proposals should contain a short CV (10 lines max) and be no longer than one
page. The deadline for their submission is December 3rd, 2018.
A
registration fee (€150) will be applied. For more information, please contact
