Audiovisual Media and Identity in Southeastern Europe

Posted by: Eckehard Pistrick In: // Congresses|News

Conference in Wittenberg (Germany), Stiftung LEUCOREA

8. bis 10. April 2010

The conference „Audiovisual Media and Identity in Southeastern Europe“ is a first attempt to find an alternative to text-based scholarly approaches to the issue of identity in Southeastern Europe, to break the medial one-dimensionality dictated by textuality and shift the focus to the aural and visual dimensions of identity.

Identity in Southeastern Europe will be examined by means of its media of communication, specifically that of the photographic image and the sound recording. Brought to a point, the primary issue is one of how people perceive themselves and their environment on the basis of communication media, or, as Kelly Askew put it in her introduction to anthropology of media, the question is one of “what meanings people construct out of mass mediated images and sounds.”
