Film and television studies colloquium

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Film and Television Studies Colloquium (FFK) is a specialist conference in German-speaking countries that has been held at a different university every year since 1988.

The FFK offers media scientists the opportunity to present current research work and results. There is no overarching framework to incorporate the entire spectrum of media science research.

history

The film and television studies colloquium took place in Münster for the first time in 1988 . Since then, it has been hosted by a different university every year. Although the film and television science colloquium deliberately refrained from a uniform general topic, certain theme tendencies can always be identified. Already in the first years there was an increased presence of empirical and historical-hermeneutic analyzes. These were in contrast to the previously dominant structuralist methodology. The film analysis was the main focus at the beginning of the colloquium. Only in 1990 did television research move into the focus of scientists. So shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, media scholars from the former GDR gave a lecture on the role of television in raising awareness. In addition, one dealt with the history of the media and the dispositive structure of the cinema, as well as with the audience perception and the structure of the gaze. Also, the documentary was created in 1990 to research.
In Weimar, the contributions from film and television studies expanded to include all media studies . Lecturers from other departments also contributed to this. After the turn of the millennium, scientists increasingly turned to other areas of focus. In 2002 the lecturers dealt with photography , reception research, as well as video and digital media. This trend continued in the following year. Last but not least, the mass media penetration of society raised ethical and media-educational questions. Even if the eponymous roots of the film and television science colloquium were never forgotten, the topics moved more and more away from them until the beginning of the 21st century.
Now the origins are coming back to the fore. In 2005, thoughts on author's cinema were presented at the FFK in Mannheim . In Hildesheim , the speakers examined the specifics of the film from a new perspective. Since 2009, the Film and Television Studies Colloquium has not only been a platform for scientific work. Since then, there has been an annual plenary session for the so-called academic mid-level staff . As part of the plenary, questions about the self-image and the future of media studies can be discussed. The film and television studies colloquium is organized by a different university each year.

Self-image

Unlike many large conferences, the Film and Television Studies Colloquium is an event that is carried out without a statute and without sponsorship by other organizational teams; it is a non-institutionalized sure-fire success. Every year the FFK is organized by a different city and university in the German-speaking area, so that it is always new and can incorporate the most diverse influences and current developments in the media landscape and around the organizer. Since the colloquium involves costs and effort, the FFK is mostly prepared by volunteers, committed students and with the support of sponsors. The official organizer is the media science institute of the university.

In principle, the conference is open to everyone, whoever registers may also speak. Above all, this offers young scientists who are not yet established the opportunity to make contacts, deal with topics that have not been discussed much and gain a foothold in scientific work. The FFK promotes interdisciplinary and cross-generational networking in individual or institutional settings. At a non-hierarchical level, a problem-free exchange and self-understanding of the participants on the subject of media is possible. The general openness of the conference is mainly due to the goal of opening a forum for young colleagues to present ongoing work, ie “works in progress” , and unfinished results. This creates a workshop character.
Not only the admission of all participants is a part of the FFK's self-image, the thematic independence is also characteristic. It provides an insight into the breadth of ongoing research and covers a range of topics that go far beyond the narrow space of general film and television science issues, with film and television still being the core. The thematically broadly diversified conference gives an insight into dealing with media issues and offers a plurality of approaches that reflect the complexity of the media phenomenon. Academic boundaries are crossed thanks to the FFK. This also includes inspirations from political science , art studies , philosophy and practical media work, as well as from sociology and literary studies . By deliberately avoiding a general topic, it is possible to reproduce the unfiltered representation of media studies. The willingness and ability of the participants is trusted.

publication

The FFK-Journal is the online publication form launched in 2016 that emerged from the FFK. Here the lecturers of the FFK have the opportunity to submit their research topics and projects in film, television and media studies presented at the colloquium in the form of an essay; the texts will be published in the Open Access Journal and thus put up for discussion.
