Film as research tool – how can we address socio-political and cultural exclusion?
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Parse conference.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- To address socio-political and cultural exclusion, present in current film programmes, means also finding strategies through film education to address diversity and representation. Through the images produced in film education, we need to constructively address methods and conventions in our own field that will enable and encourage inclusive filmic strategies that confront different forms of exclusion in contemporary society. Film has been appropriated in many disciplines: anthropology (visual ethnography), medicine, social justice and human rights programmes, also in numerous fields in the social sciences where its primary use is as an instrument to document: as a technique for recording as opposed to a method of interrogation. In other words, film is principally seen as a recording device rather than as a mode and a form that is capable of determining meaning in and of itself – as a structure for creating meaning through form not just as a vehicle for content. This presentation proposes a new and innovative form of bringing film practice and pedagogy in relation to the socio-cultural issues of migration and global displacements of communities. This approach further functions in the film education curriculum for “unlearning” conventions of filmmaking. We will present examples from the exchange programme between film educations at the Wits School of Arts (Witswatersrand University) in Johannesburg and Valand Academy, Göteborg.

Not in the shadow of Bergman - towards processes in directing : School case studies

Ingår i: CILECT Congress 2018.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- How to teach and inspire the practice of film from a concept rather than a story? How does one stimulate ideas to develop films that are informed by proactive questions rather than proposing answers? At Valand Academy in Göteborg, Sweden, an alternative method of teaching film directing is evolving from the digital paradigm shift, where the actual definition of the term "film" is questioned. The discussion starts with the practice of "filming" and not with the film product. A process-driven focus puts inquiry at the center. By exploring and developing methods that are unique to their interests, modes of thinking/making are encouraged which are not governed by the logic and/or the value chain of the film industry. The pedagogy encourages “unlearning” and promotes a reflexive approach to aesthetics, ethics and the politics of publics. The presentation draws on scenes from alumni Östlund and Pichler to reflect on the pedagogy of film practices at Valand Academy. [Ruben Östlund, 2017 Palm D'Or Winner The Square; Gabriela Pichler, whose debut Eat Sleep Die (2012) premiered at the Venice Film Festival and her second feature Amateurs (2012) won the Nordic competition at the Göteborg Film Festival.]

Perspectives: a round-table discussion on decolonial pedagogies.
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Film Education Journal. ; 5:1, s. 24-33
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Three practitioners – a film-maker, a photographer and a film curator, all working in higher education, teaching film production, photography and film studies – discuss their reflections on co-convening a decolonising pedagogy workshop–conference hosted in May 2019 at HDK-Valand, University of Gothenburg, Sweden. They draw from their unique geographical positions – South Africa, Sweden and the UK respectively – to reflect on the nuances and differences of how race and subjectivity shape classroom interactions with the curriculum, and the institutional challenges in developing transformational pedagogy practices. The conversation uses as its impetus this shared experience of co-convening and facilitating the ‘Decolonising pedagogy: Exploring processes in image-making’ workshop–conference, and leads to discussion of broader issues of historical conditions and the geopolitical contexts that have determined the subsequent impact and outcomes in their different universities.

GEECT Special Issue: Mapping Artistic Research in Film
- 2020
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Film and Media Arts. - 2183-9271. ; 5:2
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The idea for this special issue came out of the recognition that an association such as GEECT must react to this state of affairs and should contribute to its member schools’ ability to offer learning and teaching programmes that are built on state-of-the-art knowledge in the field. We envision this special issue as a show case of the research being conducted in different schools and also as a statement in favour of the relevance of artistic practice based research. The articles here included are all examples of how artistic research is undertaken in film and media arts, and achieves its results both within those disciplines, as well as often in a transdisciplinary setting, combining artistic methods with methods from other research traditions. In a context where film schools have been increasingly driven to conduct artistic research, we believe the development of the research environment is essential. This objective is just as important as the research outputs and their impact, and this has become a high strategic priority for GEECT that we also try to materialize via this special issue.

Ingår i: PARSE. - 2002-0953. ; summer:11
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This issue of PARSE journal concludes the theme of “Intersectional Engagements in Politics and Art”, first initiated as a research arc within PARSE in 2018. Under this theme, artists, scholars and students, as well as a wider public have gathered to share a critical exploration of the nexus of race, coloniality, gender and sexuality in contemporary art-making, scholarship and artistic research. Focusing on socially engaged practices related to memory, history, embodiment and alterity, the journal issue offers yet another set of considerations that brings together research by practitioners and scholars from a wide range of fields, disciplines and contexts. The theme began as a way to address and explore interest within arts research about the notion of intersectionality as a mode of creative practice, as well as a form of critical analysis. This interest, arguably following a turn towards the intersectional in feminist artistic practice and pedagogy, came as scholars in the humanities and social sciences were already debating the various appropriations and reifications that had seemingly made intersectionality into “a grand theory of everything”, to use Kimberlé Crenshaw’s words, with the effect of positioning intersectionality as a deeply contested, seemingly overdetermined concept.

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The 2019 PARSE conference “HUMAN” invited contributions to “reimagine, remake, expose and expand the human vis-à-vis notions of the nonhuman, inhuman, subhuman, post-human and inhumane.This collection offers no singularly defined notion of human. Instead it offers positions and analysis, performances and speculations on variegated ideas of the human—with its multiple pre-fixes, hence *human. The contributors all search for revitalised understandings of human in the context of revised histories, uncertain present conditions and in a future when technology, algorithms and environmental concerns, biodiversity and human biology converge in an ethical and political quagmire.

Living with Ghosts: Legacies of Colonialism and Fascism
- 2019
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Living with Ghosts: Legacies of Colonialism and Fascism, is a constellation of essays, conversations and images that point to the manner in which the legacies of colonialism and fascism reverberate in our present conjuncture. The impulse for producing this issue was a question of whether it may be possible to trace the connections between the violences of the colonial project through the horrors of fascism to current forms of racism, identitarianism and populism – what we initially called 'an arc' of colonialism-nationalism-fascism. Description of how the project was implemented: the realisation of the work, and a reflection on the project, using max. 1500 characters, excluding spaces: This issue considers the layers of historical conditions that inform states of 'belonging' and 'sovereignty' (even 'citizenry' as a debatable proposition) in Europe. What becomes evident from these various contributions is that there is no sudden or surprising development towards the right – too often expressed an 'inexplicable phenomena' of contemporary society. They instead address it as a slow and steady movement based on historical events and political terms of reference which have remain unresolved and have again returned, this time through the opportunism advanced and fuelled by the structures of capitalism that connect Europe to Russia and America. Each is a case study that recognises the patterns of violence and inequality evident in the political structures of colonialism and fascism.
