GEECT Special Issue: Mapping Artistic Research in Film
- 2020
-
In: International Journal of Film and Media Arts. - 2183-9271. ; 5:2
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)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.

Intersections Editorial

-
In: PARSE. - 2002-0953. ; summer:11
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)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.

Human PARSE JOURNAL
- 2020
-
In: PARSE Journal. ; :12
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)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.

Archival excavations: Searching Sámi Stories
- 2020
-
In: Västerbottens Museum. - : Västerbottens Museum.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In the project, which is located in Västerbotten County, in the middle of Sápmi, Klara Björk and Jyoti Mistry re-examine the history of the geographical location and the politics that have shaped it. Using decolonial strategies, they look at how knowledge is constructed; how power, historical and political conditions shape knowledge that has been “normalized” through colonial history. By revealing how history is written from the perspective of colonial power and its relation to elided experiences, new and more complex historical stories emerge. The project stems from Klara Björk’s personal family tree and major political events in the region. What has happened and is happening in Västerbotten is a micro perspective of the larger Swedish colonial project that exploited and continuous to exploit Sápmi. For Jyoti Mistry, archives are a place to explore how alternative stories and marginal peoples in history can be made visible. Björk and Mistry have begun a collaboration with Aejlies, the Sami cultural and resource center in Dearna / Tärnaby, which forms part of the residence period.

Cause of Death
- 2020
-
In: World Premiere at Berlinale 2020.
-
Artistic work (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Femicide and exploration of images of women marginalised historically in the archive or how they were depicted. The file card of an anonymous autopsy report documents violent attacks as the "cause of death". The film constructs five miniature vignettes to the rhythm of evocative spoken word poetry by Napo Masheane, accompanied by an extremely incompatible collection of archival bits and pieces from the EYE-Filmmuseum –¬ ethnographic film footage, chorus-line films, and physical culture films. Femicide, witch hunts, stonings. Disciplined and undisciplined bodies, cheerful and exuberant and careful and anonymous. Visual spectacles and impertinences intertwine in an uninterrupted stream of loops and accelerations, circular and collective dance movements, girl group ornaments. Sketchy markings and check marks on the images evoke characteristic and discriminatory power. Flashes or embedded x-rays of skeletal structures that appear among treated and mistreated bodies, accompanied by blows, breaking sounds, clattering stones. Intense gazes into the camera convey pride and broken pride, expectations and the presence of profound experience.

Decolonising Film Education
- 2020
-
In: Film Education Journal. - Scotland : SCOTTISH INTERNATIONAL FILM EDUCATION.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The discussion around how to develop curricula that are inclusive and reflexive of their historical and epistemic positions has grown in urgency. This is connected to discourses around the call for decolonising institutions, reconstituting teaching-learning frameworks and revitalising pedagogy, which draws from and includes multiple experiences and subjectivities present in the classroom. How then do we approach the necessity for revising received certainties of western knowledge paradigms and reference points to include histories, experiences and image-making practices that draw from multiple positions and perspectives? More significantly, images (and image-making) are increasingly central to modes of expressing research processes and outcomes across faculties and disciplines. Experiments in decolonising pedagogy implies that there are no given certainties of what decolonising might mean in image-making beyond its metaphoric meanings. The approach suggests working through historical and contemporary power relations in representations to encourage collaborative understandings of what the “decolonial” might be that advances active teaching-learning and encourages critical thinking which is central to the idea of critical pedagogy. More importantly how does this relate to the contemporary issues in film education where online platforms are increasingly central to education and exhibition (dissemination) of content. Drawing from the conference-workshop titled: Decolonising Pedagogy: Exploring processes in image-making as a case study this presentation provides some reflection on the implications of shifting paradigms and challenging received canons and addressing an integrated disciplinary approach to other (across) disciplines. This presentation will offer a set of conceptual possibilities gleaned not just from this particular workshop-conference but site some examples from visual methodologies framed by the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China South Arica) geo-economic alliance film practice research. The ideas proposed in this presentation will further suggest that strategies for active learning implies not just a radical shift in pedagogic approaches but that the re-examination of the curriculum advances socio-political enquiry, affirming critical thinking by encouraging student engagement with curriculum (content) and the how (methods) of what is taught (not just the what (content) of the curriculum) is paramount to active learning.
