ICNOVA book collection - a Portuguese editor -
prepares an electronic book that gathers some of the texts presented at the
Images & Archives seminar in 2019. The proposal intends to deepen the
relationships between historical, artistic, anthropological and cultural
research on photographs and films preserved in archives, both public and
private. The documentary features of these images, their contexts and forms of
re-contextualization, exhibition and display, the multiple histories with which
they relate and the power relationships that produced and are reproduced by
them are among the themes we wish to address, in the context of the
"material turn" in the social sciences and the arts. The importance
of materiality comes at a time when archives are expanding through digitization
and accessibility programs that pose new challenges and opportunities, for both
research and artistic practices. The ontological issues of the image in these
“duplicate” archives are also noteworthy for this edition.
A variety of photographic and filmic materials are to
be considered, spanning the different periods of these media, as well as
interactions with other types of images. We also welcome conceptualizations
about the archive as a discourse, in itself a kind of medium. Also relevant are
topics concerning conservation, circulation and the accessibility of these
images.
We accept proposals for chapters and visual essays on
these topics, in Portuguese or English, by September 30. Texts must be sent to
the organizers through the emails teresaflores@fcsh.unl.pt and
silvio.correa@ufsc.br.
All chapters
will be subject to double blind peer review.
The book will be published in an e-book format,
accessible and free of charge, in the ICNOVA collection
on the ICNOVA website.
This proposal is promoted within the scope of the
Photo Impulse research project. For more information about the project visit
