Hotspot-collectiestrategie
Get PDFBeeld en Geluid geeft in het collectieplan van 2019 aan te willen werken met een hotspotcollectiestrategie, waarvan een responsstrategie voor het actief acquireren van materiaal wat tot stand is gekomen bij impactvolle gebeurtenissen en kwesties een belangrijk onderdeel is. Het Nationaal Archief heeft in 2017 een hotspotmonitor gepubliceerd, maar het is nog niet bekend of deze toepasbaar is op de audiovisuele collectie van Beeld en Geluid. Het is belangrijk om te onderzoeken of deze toepasbaar is of dat er eventueel een aangepaste variant nodig is, die toegespitst is op online
archiefmateriaal binnen de audiovisuele collectie van Beeld en Geluid. Uiteindelijk leidt dit onderzoek tot adviezen voor Beeld en Geluid om richting te geven aan een hotspot-collectiestrategie
Early Development of News Sites in the United Kingdom and the United States in the 1990s: Exploring Trans-Atlantic Connections
No full textThe many close, trans-Atlantic connections between the United States and Britain were the setting and inspiration for much of how these nations’ respective media systems produce and consume news online today. Publishers, software engineers and journalists in both nations shared worries about the impact of the internet on the newspaper industry, and the early migration—or, in many cases, the uneven migration—to online news sites during the 1990s. This paper will explore some of those shared concerns, down to the editor and reporter level, with a special focus on the mid-to-late 1990s, and concluding with what changed by the end of that decade, and what did not. It is part of a larger study examining the internet and journalism’s initial encounters. It is based on a close reading of trade publications, memoirs, oral-history interviews and other primary-source material, and inspired by the work of Niels Brügger, with its treatment of ‘web history’ in a serious and contextualized way
An Ode to Black British Girls: Black British Feminism, Black Girl Surrealism, and Michaela Coel’s Chewing Gum
No full textThis article delves into Michaela Coel’s Chewing Gum, examining how the cultural text builds upon Black feminist media discourse, and intimately grapples with the nuances of Black women’s sexuality while explicitly challenging misogynoir. This work illustrates how Coel is helping develop a Black British cultural aesthetic that centers Black women’s liberation, specifically from an African immigrant perspective, by using satire, all the beauty, pain, and struggles that come with #blackgirlmagic, eccentric adornments, and ‘awkward’ ostentatious characters that at times play into racist images and tropes of Black womanhood to expose the absurdity of life in an anti-Black, sexist, and xenophobic society. In sum, this article understands Coel’s work in Chewing Gum to be Black girl surrealism – the intersection of Afro-surrealism, British dark comedy, and Black feminism
History in Motion: Using Broadcast Media Content in the Teaching and Learning of History – Some Educational Reflections.
No full textThe subject of this paper is the use of broadcast media content – newsreels, news reportage and non-fiction documentaries – in the history classroom. Used educationally as sources of evidence, such moving images offer students a valuable learning experience. Drawing on findings from a study involving students analysing media content in a Maltese secondary history classroom, I report how students preferred the documentary-type of broadcast content. Students demonstrated an awareness of disciplinary knowledge when analysing moving images and highlighted certain limitations. Teacher questions were key to driving the analysis forward. I place these findings within the general goal of helping students become visually literate. It is hoped that the reflections offered will help educators maximise the use of broadcast media content to promote effective learning in history and increase awareness among researchers and practitioners of television history and culture about educationally-relevant content
COVID-19 as a driver for change in audiovisual archives
Get PDFThis report captures the various ways in which the cultural heritage sector is adapting, not only to cope with the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but also to flourish in the future. It is the result of a joint virtual exchange between members of the International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA) and the International Federation of Television Archives (FIAT/IFTA). The aim was to gather professionals from the global archival community and to discuss how positive changes could be identified and sustained, to share best practices and individual experiences, and to collaboratively think out the best ways forward
Editorial: Smörgåsbord of European Television
No full textAs VIEW enters its tenth year of publication, we present our first open issue. The resulting collection of articles represents a varied smörgåsbord of European television, covering television in Germany, Greece, Hungary, Malta, Russia, Spain, Sweden and Turkey. Moreover, many articles discuss the transnational movement of television: a Turkish adaptation of a Danish series, the Portuguese framing of a Spanish historical series, East German films on Swedish television, Russian television programmes on the international market
Beasts from the East: Fantasies of Eastern Europeanness in Brexit-era BBC Drama
No full textThis article interrogates the figure of the Eastern European itinerant in contemporary prestige BBC drama to highlight the figure’s role in mobilising ideas of nationhood and foreignness in Brexit-era Britain. Our critical analyses of Dracula (BBC1, 2020), Killing Eve (BBC America, 2018-), and Call the Midwife (BBC1, 2012-) show that programming that putatively celebrates British multiculturalism and diversity configures the Eastern European foreigner as a threat to idea(l)s of Britishness, by deploying this figure in strikingly similar imaginaries of contagion, deviance, and savagery. Such treatment embeds these portrayals in discourses of white nationalism that seek to manage national belonging by articulating the limits and rules of the national community as implicitly racialized terms of culture and space
CrossEWT: Cross-Medial Analysis of World War II Eyewitness Testimonies
No full textThe CLARIAH research pilot project ‘CrossEWT’ entailed an inventory of interviews with eyewitnesses of the Second World War as published in newspapers, television documentaries and oral history databases. The aim was to analyse the topics of these interviews, and how these may have differed per medium and over time since 1945. The Media Suite facilitates comparative research into collections of different media types that traditionally are studied separately. Especially for oral history research, this is innovative and promising, in at least two ways. First, it potentially stimulates the re-use of interviews, not only by media scholars who might accidentally discover this material, but by (oral) historians as well. Second, a video annotation tool is provided that enables analysing the visual, non-verbal and performative aspects of oral history interviews, while traditional oral history research often heavily relies on the transcript

From POPSTAT to RelPOP: A Methodological Journey in Investigating Comparative Film Popularity
No full textIn this brief essay, I suggest that during the era when filmgoing dominated all other paid-for-leisure activities, the POPSTAT method opens a portal onto civil society. It allows us to understand the process by which films were diffused; the reason why they were diffused in this manner; the preferences of audiences for particular films and by inference what excited them; the manner in which these informal (subjective) preferences co-existed with the formal structures of ideology exercised by the Authorities; and finally gender, class and ethnic differences in taste and how these might have changed over time. I have illustrated the use to which the POPSTAT method has been used by historians, concentrating on the important contributions of Joseph Garncarz and Clara Pafort Overduin. At the centre of the method is the behaviour of audiences, the consumers of films. POPSTAT in conjunction with RelPOP allows us to measure, compare and contrast this behaviour
