From the West to the Kremlin and Back. Development Paths of Foreign Products on Russian Television
No full textIn the last years the arrival of international OTT providers and the development of national online digital platforms have deeply changed the Russian television environment. The constant need of both national self-affirmation and new contents has led to the development of different paths of content creation. In particular, foreign ready-made contents follow three paths: adaptation, localization and ‘Russification’, depending on their genre. The ‘Russification’ process is the most peculiar one and consists in the re-creation of a foreign product with local resources. The article will give the reader some key-concept to understand some of the most popular ‘Russification’ attempts, from the very first (The Nanny) to the most contemporary (Adaptation)

Het Wendbare AV-Archief
Get PDFWat is eigenlijk de essentie van het AV-archief? Wat constitueert de opdracht en de inrichting van deze archieven? Om dit te doorgronden schetst dit document een beeld van hun geschiedenis, hun professie en hun belangrijkste kenmerken. Daarna wordt uiteengezet op welke manieren de omgeving van het audiovisuele archief vanaf 1980
veranderde en wat voor effect dit had op de collecties, de werkprocessen en de medewerkers. Wat waren de worstelingen, welke nieuwe krachten werden ontwikkeld? Er wordt ook besproken hoe deze archieven zich gaandeweg zijn gaan verhouden tot de traditionele memory institutes, zoals de ‘klassieke’ archieven, de bibliotheken en de musea
Don’t Smoke, Take Drink in Moderation, Do Walk a Lot and Do Not Gorge Yourself beyond Your Satiation: Health Education by Television in West Germany from the 1960s to the 1980s
No full textThis article discusses health education through television in West Germany, with a focus on nutrition and physical activity. Public health initiatives on television contributed to the fitness boom of the late 1960s and 1970s that aimed to counterbalance post-war lifestyle changes within the West German population. The article uses individual TV programme formats and campaigns as examples to show that the 1970s marked the beginning of behaviour-oriented health education in West Germany. The ZDF health telemagazine Gesundheitsmagazin Praxis gave advice, for example on proper food and conveyed how the audience was increasingly requested to actively participate, in order to encourage health-conscious behaviour
Linking Geographical Vocabularies To Fulfil Information Seeking Needs In The Cultural Heritage Domain
Get PDFBeing able to align concepts from different vocabularies to each other is an important requirement for extracting value from linked data. Vocabulary alignment methods have been studied to a point where relatively straightforward alignments can be generated with a high level of confidence. However, cases remain where the alignment methods fail to generate conclusive results. This paper explores the possibilities of aligning geographical vocabularies using various state-of-the-art alignment techniques, with an emphasis on exploring various disambiguation techniques for when too many mappings are returned. Additionally, the alignments made are utilised in the development of a generous interface to identify to which degree generous interfaces combining metadata from different vocabularies can address challenges relating to information seeking needs in the cultural heritage domain
Uitspeelplatforms: gebruik, behoeften en ontwikkelingen
Get PDFDeze TrendMonitor gaat specifiek in op uitspeelplatforms. Wat zijn uitspeelplatforms? Hoe worden ze gebruikt? En wat zijn de wensen en behoeften van stakeholders rondom uitspeelplatforms? We hebben voor dit onderwerp gekozen, omdat het landschap van online videoplatforms snel verandert. De gebruikers stellen nieuwe eisen. Ze hebben behoefte aan hoogwaardige kwaliteit, grote snelheid en een betere vindbaarheid van online video’s. Commerciële partijen spelen bij de nieuwe online uitspeelplatforms een grote rol, maar er ontstaan discussies over de wijze waarop zij gebruikersdata verzamelen en gebruiken. Publieke en maatschappelijke instellingen zien voor zichzelf een rol om alternatieve platforms op te zetten of anders om te gaan met bijvoorbeeld gebruikersdata
Open Archief
Get PDFHet Nieuwe Instituut en het Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid werkten in het project Open Archief samen om het creatief hergebruik van digitale erfgoedcollecties te stimuleren. Ze nodigden begin 2019 drie makers uit om op
basis van de open collecties een nieuw autonoom mediawerk te ontwikkelen. Het beschikbaar stellen en artistiek hergebruiken van digitaal erfgoed stond daarbij centraal, met ruimte voor uiteenlopende creatieve, technische en auteursrechtelijke interpretaties. Een wederkerig experiment tussen instituten en makers. In deze digitale publicatie blikken de deelnemende makers en beide instituten terug op het project en delen de opgedane kennis en ervaringen met collega instellingen en makers
Screening ‘Good Neighbors’: The Educational Uses of Julien Bryan’s Latin American Shorts Along the US Circuits of 16mm, 1940-1947
No full textFrom 1941-1945, the educational filmmaker and travel-film lecturer Julien Bryan (1899-1974) produced 23 documentary shorts on Latin American ‘Good Neighbors’ for Nelson Rockefeller’s Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, which distributed them widely across US sites of formal and informal learning during World War II. Although cultural historians in the past twenty years have provided considerable insight into the production mandates of Julien Bryan’s films and their alignment with soft power discourse, the distribution and exhibition history of these shorts remains underexamined. This essay describes my research on this history in its intersection with the longer US history of US non-commercial, and specifically educational, film. Looking at digital governmental and local newspaper archives, non-commercial trade and amateur film magazines, educational film journals and curricula and Julien Bryan’s personal archive at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, I trace the travels of these shorts along the circuits of wartime 16mm, examining their appropriation by social studies teachers, Spanish language instructors, art historians, and African American and Latinx activists at universities as sources of Latin American knowledge along a spectrum of ideological perspectives on Pan-Hemispheric relations and ‘Good Neighbor’ understanding
Comparison of Canadian Urban and Small-town Exhibition Practices 1914-1929
No full textBecause of Canada’s geographic location, the business of film exhibition has always been tied to the United States and ultimately controlled by Hollywood. In order to understand the historical cinematic experience of Canadians in different regions, this paper seeks to compare opening playdates in urban Canada to the northern mining community in Timmins, Ontario from 1914 to 1929, a pivotal period during which Paramount controlled Famous Players came to dominate both film exhibition and distribution in the country. I also analyse holiday programming at Christmas and Easter during this same time period. My analysis demonstrates that there was a variance of film premiere dates throughout urban Canada. This article also shows that even though small towns like Timmins had films much later than urban locations they were still able to create a unique cinema culture through special programming during holidays that was unique from other locations in Canada
