Subject: Dear friend!

Hi,
I can not wait a second to share an exciting thing with you. Last week, I bought a sony tv from a website and I got it now. Wow, the quality of the tv is very good and they have excellent after-sale services. They also sell phones,laptop,desktop,tv,digital camera,motorbikes and so on. All their products are new and original. They have many good feedback. By the way, their prices are very competitive.
The website is : <www.buytv.biz> You can have a look if you are interested in these products. I am sure you will be very satisfied.
Regards!

Subject: TV Archives: Accessing TV History

They may not contain much TV drama or small-screen fiction, unless you 
view documentaries and TV news as forms of "fiction", but both Film & 
Sound Online, http://www.filmandsound.ac.uk/ and NewsFilm Online, 
http://www.nfo.ac.uk/ are TV archives of sorts and free to subscribe and 
access to UK FE and HE.

Subject: Affective fabrics of digital cultures: feelings,technologies, politics

dear colleagues,
apologies from cross-posting. please distribute widely


Affective fabrics of digital cultures: feelings,technologies, politics
3-4 June 2010, The University of Manchester
http://www.socialsciences.manchester.ac.uk/ricc/events/digital_affect/index.html



Plenary speakers:
Una Chung (Sarah Lawrence College)
Patricia Clough (Queens College, CUNY)
Anne-Marie Fortier (Lancaster University)
Melissa Gregg (The University of Sydney)
Athina Karatzogianni (The University of Hull)
Luciana Parisi (Goldsmith, University of London)


Organiser: Adi Kuntsman (RICC, The University of Manchester)


This two-day international conference brings into creative tension two fields that are receiving growing scholarly attention: cultural studies of affect, public feelings and the politics of emotion, on the one hand, and scholarship on digital culture, new media and information-communication technologies, on the other. The conference aims to create a space for intellectual dialogue between the two fields by examining the relations between technologies, and in particular, new digital technologies – the Internet, digital cinema and photography, mobile communication, CCTVs, computer games – and affective politics.

Bringing together contributions from the fields of sociology, media and cultural studies, arts, politics and science and technology studies, the conference will engage with the following questions:  How does affect work in on-line networks and digital assemblages? What are the affective regimes of on-line sociality? What kind of perceptions, sensations, affective movements and public feelings emerge in our highly mediated and digitalised environments? What is the cybertouch of war, violence, terror? What are the structures of feeling that operate in the digitalised everyday and computerised ordinary? How can we theorise psycho-political formations of nation, race, empire, population and generation in the age of digital reproduction, mediated visions and globalised communication technologies? How do digital cultures shape our political horizons of fear, anxiety, mourning, hate, hope?

We invite submission of abstracts for individual papers or round tables. Alternative presentation formats are welcome; please contact us to discuss further options. Please send your abstract (300 words for individual papers, 500 words for round tables) by 1st of February 2010 to [log in to unmask]. Candidates will be notified by 15th of March 2010. Selected papers will be considered for post-conference publication.

Subject: Creative Practice Symposium Dec 2nd

Please see below.

All are welcome to this free event.

 

CALL FOR PAPERS

 

Determining Creative Practice

A practiced-based research symposium

 

 

 

Wednesday December 2nd 2009

1030-530

University of Bedfordshire

 

Speakers:

Mike Stubbs, Filmmaker & Director, FACT

Dr Jonathan Lahey Dronsfield, Reader in Theory and Philosophy of Art, University of Reading

 

 

FREE EVENT

 

Still Moving, A CAPTURE commission Joanna Callaghan, 2007

 

The University of Bedfordshire, University of Derby & the Practice Section of MeCCSA present a one day practice-based symposium for media practitioners and academics.

 

In the context of writing, reflecting and presenting practice-based research what role do notions of determinism play? Are the requirements of practice-based research over-determined? Is there space to consider the concept of pre determination within creative practice? 

 

We welcome presentations of all forms of creative work, including films, creative writing, performance, sound and new media that address the following themes:

 

Is the core origin of creativity within the individual, society, or something else? 

Is the conscious processing of creating work just one part of the creative story?  

If proposals ‘determine’ how useful are they in a process of creative discovery? What alternative models exist?

If media practice is predetermined, what does this say about the product, the practice, and the practitioner? How does this relate to originality, creativity, and progress?

What is the role of collaboration in questioning the self-determination of the artist, or the work of art?

What role does commissioning and pre-production play in determining a creative practice?

To what extent do the institutional and commercial bodies that enable and fund practice-based research encourage the production of paratexts which predetermine the nature and scope of the practice and the context within which that practice can be 'read'?

 

Creative presentations of 10 minutes followed by 10 minutes of theoretical interpretation / reflection are encouraged.

 

The event is free and includes lunch and refreshments. 

 

Please e-mail proposals of 300 words to both organisers by 2 November 2009.
