El Archivo AV Ágil
No full text¿Cuál es la "esencia" del archivo audiovisual? ¿De qué tareas está encargado y cómo se organiza para cumplirlas? Este documento se propone responder a estas preguntas. En él se esboza la imagen del archivo audiovisual: su historia, su profesión y sus características más significativas. En él se explica cómo ha cambiado el entorno que rodea a los archivos audiovisuales desde 1980, y qué efecto ha tenido sobre las colecciones, los procesos de trabajo y los profesionales. ¿Cuáles fueron los esfuerzos y qué nuevas fortalezas aparecieron? Se describe finalmente cómo se han posicionado estos archivos gradualmente frente a las tradicionales instituciones de la memoria, es decir, los archivos, bibliotecas y museos tradicionales
Comparative, Entangled, Parallel and ‘Other’ Cinema Histories. Another Reflection on the Comparative Mode Within New Cinema History
No full textTelevision at the Crossroads of the History of Consumption and Health: The Morhange Talc Affair (1972-1981)
No full textThe Morhange talc affair was mediatised by television from 1972. The health scandal brought to light issues of consumerism and cosmetic products in France, after baby talcum powder was accidentally contaminated with hexachlorophene. This article presents a diachronic study of the television coverage between 1972 and 1981. Indeed, the coverage and the development of the scandal is taken as a case study in the role and influence that television can have on current affairs
Television, Teenagers and VD: An Insight into the Advisory Process behind Schools and Colleges’ Broadcasting in the Early 1970s in the UK
No full textThis article looks at the forgotten history of a television programme on venereal disease for teenagers broadcast in the United Kingdom (excluding Scotland) in 1973. It was produced by BBC Schools and Colleges and deemed to be very successful. The production was one of a trio of programmes entitled ‘Health Hazards’, from the series Twentieth Century Focus, which reflected issues relevant to teenagers over a period of social change from the 1960s to the 1970s. The archive record is lean on schools programming and this programme is very well documented from concept to delivery, representing a discrete, but ephemeral, intervention into 1970s sex educational broadcasting. This research contributes something new about public health and sexual education in the period immediately before AIDS
“Fighting the Uncertainty of Tomorrow”: Explaining and Portraying the Social Security System on French Television for Schools
No full textThis contribution analyses in detail a series of instructional television programmes for schools produced between the 1950s and the 1980s on national health insurance and the French social welfare system (known as Sécurité sociale). We consider the televisualization of health issues from two alternative perspectives: school television as a type of public health service and access as a matter of social welfare and public health. We investigate how these television programmes, which focus closely on social welfare administration, sought both to educate captive school audiences as future citizens and to shape and form their attitudes towards it

Software-archivering en de Nederlandse erfgoedsector
No full textBinnen het NDE-project Software Archivering, zoals uitgevoerd in de intensiveringsperiode 2019-2020, wordt onderzoek gedaan naar software-archivering om zo de veel voorkomende barrières bij erfgoedinstellingen te verlagen. Onderdeel van dat project is ook het inventariseren van bestaande software-archiveringsinitiatieven in Nederland. Dit rapport doet verslag van een aantal interviews met medewerkers van software-archiverende instellingen. Het geeft zo een korte, praktijkgerichte update van het rapport ‘Software Sustainability’ van Patrick Aerts uit 2016.
In voorliggend rapport wordt de status quo beschreven, maar ook vooruitgekeken en er worden aanbevelingen gedaan voor het netwerk als geheel. Hiermee kunnen de netwerkpartners van het Netwerk Digitaal Erfgoed (NDE) beter de urgentie bepalen van het archiveren van software. Voor beleidsmakers biedt het aanknopingspunten om software-archivering op de agenda te zetten
Snapshot of a Field in Motion
Get PDFAudiovisual preservation is a field that is always in motion, whether by way of adapting to the new technologies of the field (or adjacent to the field), implementing systems designed by experienced and amateur preservationists alike, or even by way of the necessity to migrate formats. While archivists and institutions may face policy hurdles or resource realities that hinder steps forward or prevent flexibility, the audiovisual preservation field is compelled to evolve—whether it wants to or not—by evolutions in technology, whether the technology applies to the formats being preserved, the tools created for preservation actions, or even the means by which archivists and preservationists are able to communicate. With this persistent flux in mind, this report offers a snapshot of the field in 2020, looking at four key topics impacting the present and future of audiovisual preservation. These topics include: Providing and Preserving Captions for Digitized and BornDigital Audio visual Content; Testing and Implementing RAWcooked on DPX Film Scans; Identifying and Managing BornDigital Video Collections; and Knowledge Sharing as a Preservation Tool
Inward Outward, Critical Archival Engagements with Sounds and Films of Coloniality
Get PDFOn January 24 and 25, 2020, the first edition of the Inward Outward symposium took place at the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. Initiated between the KITLV and Sound and Vision, and with the support of the RCMC, Inward Outward brought together archival practitioners, artists, academics, and researchers to explore the status of moving image and sound archives as they intertwine with questions of coloniality, identity and race. Inward Outward, Critical Archival Engagements with Sounds and Films of Coloniality: A Publication of the 2020 Inward Outward Symposium collects different contributions from speakers of the symposium, reiterating and reflecting on the presentations that took place during the 2-day symposium. These contributions interrogate how we might situate ourselves in relation to the materials we work with, and the locations we work from. Across the publication 16 individual contributions unfold, exploring coloniality and questioning what might “decolonizing” the archive look like as it intersects with sound and moving image collections, archival practices, artistic approaches, intimacy, reimagining the archive, and more
Challenges to Comparative Oral Histories of Cinema Audiences
No full textThis article reflects on the challenges of comparative oral history analysis by taking the BA/Leverhulme-funded project Mapping European Cinema: a comparative project on cinema-going experiences in the 1950s (2016-2017) as a case study. The aim of MEC was to test new methodologies in order to explore and compare programming patterns and cinema-going experiences in European cities that were similar in terms of population and film exhibition structure but substantially different in terms of film culture. MEC focused on three case studies: Bari (Italy), Leicester (United Kingdom) and Ghent (Belgium). This article uses three video interviews to reflect on the theoretical framework around comparative analysis and to discuss issues of cultural specificity. Attempts at substantial comparative analysis have proved to be a challenging task because of the difficulty of analysing different film cultures cross-nationally, the complexity of standardising data, and the lack of analytical frames that could be used to explain patterns and differences revealed during the analysis. Building on the work of cultural historians studying the reciprocal traffic of culture across borders, the article adopts a theoretical framework that addresses the complexity of working with memory across national borders and linguistic barriers and emphasizes contextualization as a defining component in cross-national comparative studies. The article argues that the national specific knowledge of individual researchers enabled the authors not to overlook local perspectives while at the same time generalising across the three national cultural contexts, identifying new perspectives, and finding a common ground that could be commensurable to ensure a systematic comparative process
