… this was the abstract for the ‘show & tell’
\n… which we adapted and updated a little with the actual presentation:<\/em><\/p>\n
\u00bb Show & Tell: the ‘S.o.S’ piratebox & beyond<\/strong>this ‘show & tell’, held together with Adnan Hadzi, presents the reflections of the journey of the ‘S.o.S’ piratebox, a research hosted and interlinked with work-and-research structures of the Brazil Besides the Screen conference, the Istanbul Video Vortex event, the reSync Athens workshop, and finally the Berlin Transmediale festival.
\nMaterials were loaded onto a research-black-box (Pirate-Box) that could & can accumulate and ‘commonize’ critical material, travel and be presented at any place in any time.in particular we would like to discuss our ideas on new modes of collective and spectral research.
\n… and possibly give an outlook of the upcoming ‘after.video’ project that evolved partly out of this \u2013 basing theory exposition on video as carrying format.—in my part I show some attempts to develop formats of credible ‘theory’-production beyond the text-form \u2013 and show some collective and media-saturated examples, also arguing for blurry lines between ‘academic’ theory building and other forms when it comes to contemporary cultural and social phenomena \u2013 or media culture itself.I also touch upon the impact a social semiotics approach has to formats of theory (theoretical referencing) itself, and touch upon questions of ‘cultural referencing’ \u2013 and its inherent difficulties in times of new global copyright regimes that particularly enclose the ‘moving image’.while complex systems of para-textual reference, exposition and theory-building are getting more and more abundant (making it possible to turn events like a conference into a hyper-text), the options to extend cultural references to the most central cultural ‘para-texts’ and semiotic resources is getting more and more problematic.
\n… thus the current phenomena in research, theory building and other forms of systematic ‘cultural referencing’ are showing us, how every new medial formation \u2013 and indeed: every new research formation \u2013 implies new forms of ‘piracy’ in its entourage. \u00ab<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Departing from the relation of movie piracy with the economy and politics of content distribution, the symposium means to discuss the dynamics of authority embedded in contemporary systems of communication and explore how informal media practices might intervene with the development of new technologies, frame film curating, foster or inhibit particular scholarships, and even raise questions about the ontology of the moving image.

:: Besides the Screen <\/strong>
\n\u00bb seeks to make an intervention into film and screen studies by examining and considering the elements of cinematic experience, production and dissemination that exist beside the screen. New media technologies impact cinema well beyond the screen; they also promote the reorganization of its logic of distribution, modes of consumption and viewing regimes. This publication speculates about the changes in modes of accessing, distributing, storing and promoting moving images and how they might affect cinematographic experience, economy and historiography. In doing so, Besides the Screen examines three key themes: distribution, promotion and curation. The volume\u2019s main argument is that we must examine those practices that exist besides the screen if we are to consider fully how filmic experience is mediated by various technological and societal changes in the early decades of the twenty-first century \u00ab<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
