Dutch Speaking to Dutch. Broadcasts from the Netherlands to Indonesia during the Decolonization War (1945–1949)
No full textDutch international radio broadcaster Radio Nederland Wereldomroep (RNW) was founded in 1947, during the decolonization war in Indonesia. This paper explores the nature of the broadcasts to Indonesia in the early years of RNW. It is argued that these broadcasts must be seen in the context of the
Dutch violent military effort to reestablish colonial rule in Southeast Asia. Moreover, this broadcasting strategy, which was mainly aimed at reaching out to
white agents of empire in the Indonesian archipelago, can be seen as a continuation of broadcasting practices during the late colonial period in the 1930s,
when Dutch were speaking to Dutch

Page, Print, JPEG: Researching and Curating Picture Post, its history and publics
No full textThis article discusses methodological reflections underpinning an integrated research and curation strategy addressing the history of the British magazine, Picture Post (1938-57). The dispersed Picture Post archive includes the extensive collection of negatives, prints, contact sheets, publications and daybooks held by the Hulton Archive – part of the multinational visual content provider, Getty Images. Today, however, just a handful of familiar images from Picture Post are recirculated in print and online as visual shorthand for collective memories of twentieth-century Britain. Comprising an exhibition in 2025, online educational resources and an events programme, this project will deliver new historiographic insights into and public engagement with the seminal publication. Charting the magazine and archive’s development, this article explores innovative approaches to research and curation that examine the business of photojournalism in Britain, the public circulation of photographs, and narratives representative of Picture Post’s international outlook and social democratic ethos
Tel Mee Met Taal Experimenten 2020-2022
Get PDFIn het project 'Tel Mee Met Taal Experimenten' is gekeken hoe gebruik van kunstmatige intelligentie (A.I.) op publieke websites veilig kan helpen bij het herkennen van hulpvragen en doorleiding naar passende hulp. De inbreng van ervaringsdeskundigen vormde hiervoor een belangrijke basis. De techniek is veelbesproken, maar velen zijn onvoldoende bekend met de precieze werking en mogelijke effecten. Er is dus met allerlei experts en ervaringsdeskundigen gekeken naar de ethische en privacy-vraagstukken die hierbij spelen. In de publicatie worden suggesties gedaan voor vervolgonderzoek, zoals naar hoe een effectief geïntegreerd online en fysiek hulpaanbod er uit kan zien, onder meer samen met de Informatiepunten Digitale Overheid
De behoefte van de bezoeker op het gebied van de pre- en post-experience
No full textDit verantwoordingsrapport is gecreëerd voor Het Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum. Er is onderzoek gedaan naar de behoeftes van de bezoeker tijdens de pre- en post-experience van de vernieuwde Customer Journey. In dit rapport is alle informatie te vinden die van belang is voor dit onderzoek. De resultaten zijn weergegeven in een eindproduct waarin het Customer Journey model de rode draad vormt (zie: Instuctieboek voor het optimaliseren van de Customer Journey). Hieraan is ook het Belevingsmodel toegevoegd met de pre-, direct- en post-experience, omdat dit een duidelijk onderscheidt creëert voor Beeld & Geluid
Lords of the Air: A Cultural Analysis of the Bulgarian TV Show Gosporadi na Efira
No full textThis article explores the trajectory of one of the most popular comedy shows in Bulgaria, using a cultural-historical analysis approach. While Gospodari na Efira started as the Bulgarian version of an Italian news parody show, it assumed its own trajectory to become a distinct amalgamation of social satire, political humor and investigative journalism. The show’s formula for success can be linked to its status of an institution, earning legitimation through the trust of audiences at a time when other institutions in Bulgaria were failing to fulfill their responsibilities
What to do With a Perceived Dead-End? The Street (1992-1996) & Aesthetics of Postsocialist TV Satire
No full textTaking as its main case study the experimental, satirical sketch show The Street / Улицата (1992-1996), this essay examines the transformational moment in Bulgarian broadcast media following 1989, specifically focusing on the period between 1990 and 1997, and ways in which the socio-political transition functioned as a catalyst for re-assessing the aesthetics, politics, and structure of television in the country. I focus on the juxtaposition of radical potential and problematic representations featured on this show, establishing connections between the post-1989 influx of Western cultural import and the new media form The Street took upon its release in 1992. The paper locates regional intersections of approach and aesthetics evident in postsocialist TV satire
European Radio’s Silenced Witness: The European Broadcasting Union’s Written Archives
No full textInternational collaboration in radio was formally established in Europe in 1925 by the International Broadcasting Union (IBU) in Geneva, which sought to co-ordinate and harmonise the work of public service broadcasters. Both its work and its archive of minutes, reports, documents and books were carried on by its successor, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). In 2012, this archive was moved into off-site storage, where it remains, effectively silenced for research purposes. This article reflects on the recent silencing of the archive by examining its history as a ‘silenced witness’ in multiple respects. First, it considers the archive in the light of the organisation’s function as an ‘apolitical’ monitoring witness and gatherer of information. Second, it examines which activities were witnessed and converted into the ‘silent’ medium of paper. Finally, it explores the relationship of the archive to the organisation, and in particular its placement and use
The Traces of a Media War: Archives of Dutch Broadcasts from London during the Second World War
No full textThe project ‘Mediaoorlog’ (media war) pioneers a digital humanities approach to analyse propaganda discourses in Dutch-language media during the Second World War. The core database at our disposal is the CLARIAH Media Suite, which brings together relevant collections of digitised sources, including the audio archive of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. This contribution reflects on our first efforts to study Radio Oranje, the daily broadcast of the Dutch government-in-exile from London to the occupied Netherlands. It is argued that the current online radio archive from the Second World War has its limits and that it therefore is necessary to employ a hybrid methodology, drawing on material from various collections, both digital audio fragments and paper transcripts. The following pages will provide an analysis of how these two source materials relate to each other by showing how they came into being and how they were transferred from Great Britain to the Netherlands. The first part of this contribution contains a historic overview of Radio Oranje and the trajectory of its archival records. The second part of this paper explores how these sources have been used in the late twentieth century to shape Dutch public memory of wartime radio broadcasting from London
‘All the News That’s Fit to Print’: Analysing everyday photography in The New York Times, 2000 to 2020
No full textOver the past two decades, The New York Times have increasingly incorporated visual experimentation in their use of photography, employing art and design strategies for what were once more conventional editorial subjects. The long-held hierarchy between text and image has been disrupted, with images taking the lead. Employing quantitative and qualitative methods, my study examines the Times’ ‘front page’—an archaic artefact that remains an intense source of scrutiny for editors despite the digital transition—with a dataset related to 240 front pages from January 2000 to January 2020. This ‘image-first’ approach, however, is not reflected in its digital archive, and obstructions to ‘reading’ the image reflect a wider, unstable financialisation of culture that has equally intensified over the last two decades
