Tear Gas, Policing and Dissent - A Verso Book Launch
Thu 30 November 2017
18:00 - 20:00 ?
Hydra Books
Bristol, UK
From the migrant camps in Calais to the elections in Nigeria, tear gas is used to control populations around the world. How did tear gas go from the battlefields of WWI to the most commonly used form of "less-lethal" police force? Join us for the launch of Tear Gas: From the Battlefields of WWI to the Streets of Today as we discuss the history of riot control policing and Britain's role in the rise and spread of this technology.
An engrossing century-spanning narrative, Tear Gas is the first history of this weapon, and takes us from military labs and chemical weapons expos to union assemblies and protest camps, drawing on declassified reports and witness testimonies to show how policing with poison came to be.
Books will be available for sale and beer and wine be available for a small donation.

Subject: Prof Annette Hill - Seminar - Production and Audience Study on Endemol Shine
Dear colleagues,
It’s with great pleasure that I can announce that Prof Annette Hill will be giving an overview of her production and
Audience study on Endemol Shine (http://www.endemolshinegroup.com/). This is an important study that has produced
Highly interesting findings using an innovative range of research method including the development of cultural conversations
Between producers and audiences. Having seen the research presented at Audiences 2030, I recommend media and cultural
Scholars and doctoral students attend…it’s absolutely fascinating. Details are below….

A Cultural Conversation: dialogue across television industry, academia and audiences.
This paper critically reflects on the value of dialogue across television industry, academia and audiences in enhancing understanding of engagement and disengagement with screen culture. It takes as a starting point reflections on an industry-academic collaborative project between Lund University and Endemol Shine, funded by the Wallenberg Foundation. The Media Experiences project conducted production and audience research on a range of drama and entertainment during a three year period in several countries (2014-2016). The method of a cultural conversation was designed in order to highlight the value of listening and respect (Sennett 2003) across creative production and audience practices. We listened to the voices of producers and the values they created alongside the voices of audiences and their experiences. As such, academic researchers became a bridge across the industry-audience divide, humanising audiences so that alongside ratings performance and social media analytics, producers could get a sense of engagement as cultural resonance.
The research enabled an internal understanding of creative values in Endemol Shine and reflexivity about creative production and practice (Macintyre, Fulton and Paton 2016). The research also enabled an internal re-valuing of audience engagement with content across a spectrum of platforms, including formal and informal media economies (Lobato and Thomas 2012). From a more theoretical perspective the intense relationship work of production and audience research in this project highlighted a new semantics of engagement, where its relational power comes to the fore; engagement as relational captures the collaborative experiences of creatives working together to produce a drama for example, and audience relationships with these writers, directors, or actors and extras, with platforms, brands and marketing campaigns. The power dynamics surrounding the relationships between the creative and the executive producers and broadcasters/distributors highlights how trust can be all too easily be broken by decisions from on high about budgets, marketing, or scheduling. And the power dynamics for audiences, fans, and consumers, highlights how a new semantics of engagement is urgently needed to understand the cultural resonance of television for future audiences (Hill 2016, 2017). For industry stakeholders, an engagement strategy needs to have a portfolio of connection points in order to capture the interplay between varieties of audiences and their spectrum of engagement with cross media content. For academic researchers, television itself can make or break engagement, something hard won but so easily lost in the new landscape of television content across broadcast and digital spaces.
I hope to see you there.
All the best,
Lizzie

Subject: WE MAKE STUFF: Play & Multiplatform
WE MAKE STUFF: Play & Multiplatform
A chance for the creative sector and the local community to engage and
collaborate with the dynamic media research at Bath Spa University.
*Monday 27 November 2017*
*Wine Reception*: 5.30pm
*Event*: 6-9pm
*Burdall's Yard*,
7A Anglo Terrace, Avon, Bath, BA1 5NH
*How can we utilise play and cross-media storytelling strategies to
generate change?*
Exploring how we might better employ creative practices of play and
multi-platform storytelling strategies to generate social change, *We
Make Stuff:
Play and Multi-Platform* is the third in the series of public engagement
events organised by the Media Convergence Research Centre.
The event will consist of presentations delving into different ways in
which playable media, namely gaming and apps, and new transmedia approaches
can be used to empower communities in a variety of contexts, spanning
education in Latin America, national gaming attractions, and questions of
local place.
Presentations will be followed by a Q&A discussion panel.
We are privileged to also feature an interactive serious gaming workshop
led by *John Curry*, Senior Lecturer in Games Development. Here you will
get the chance to test out serious gaming techniques in various scenarios
spanning political, community and social contexts. The process will engage
with facing dilemmas and use gaming strategies to ensure that all potential
solutions are looked at in the search for the optimum outcomes.
The event commences with a welcome wine reception from 5:30pm.
*Featured presentations include:*
*James Newman* will speak about his work at The National Videogame Arcade
(NVA). Opening to the public in early 2015, The NVA is a gallery, museum
and visitor attraction. Set across 33,000 square feet filled with bespoke
exhibits, The NVA has welcomed tens of thousands of visitors and delivers
educational programmes for schools and informal learners. James will
discuss his research and curatorial work building The NVA collections; the
collaborations with developers and publishers including Sega, Sports
interactive and Ustwo; international museum and heritage sector partners;
and the outreach and public engagement activity involved in developing
educational programmes, lectures and workshops series, and festivals.
Professor James Newman is Professor of Digital Media.
*Ron Herrema* will present *Trespass*, an iPhone app/artwork he created in
collaboration with artist Layla Curtis. Trespass uses one of Curtis'
custom-drawn maps to present the stories of numerous residents connected
with a contested green space in Lancaster, Freeman’s Wood. A local gallery,
Storey G2, explored this issue and commissioned Curtis to create the work.
A location-based app, it requires the user to trespass in order to access
most of its content.
Dr Ron Herrema is Senior Lecturer in Creative Computing.
*Matthew Freeman* will present work from *Desarmados* (*Disarmed*), a
project which aims to harness commercial research ideas about storytelling
across multiple media platforms as a tool for documenting the Cololmbian
citizens of Medellín and for narrativizing their memories of the Colombian
armed conflict. An innovative multiplatform project supported by the
Colombian Ministry of Culture, Desarmados seeks to reconstruct the cultural
memory of the Colombian armed conflict, and develop workshops with a number
of secondary schools in Medellin to help engage young people in the project
and to test new transmedia storytelling education materials as tools for
social enterprise between survivors and civil society.
Dr Matthew Freeman is Reader in Transmedia Communication and Director of
the Media Convergence Research Centre.
*The event is free for BSU staff and students. To book your ticket, please

Code and Clay, Data and Dirt
Five Thousand Years of Urban Media
Shannon Mattern
"Code and Clay, Data and Dirt has style and method, originality and purpose. Each dig into this exceptional work has brought pleasure and scholarly respect."—Malcolm McCullough, author of Digital Ground
"Code and Clay, Data and Dirt is a vital new contribution to media archaeology. Using multisensory, archival, and speculative methods, this book’s riveting journey through the deep time of media explores how cities inscribe, transmit, perform, and reverberate. Responding to the current fascination with big data and smart cities, Shannon Mattern powerfully demonstrates that cities have always been sites of urban intelligence."—Lisa Parks, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"This is highly synthetic and sophisticated work, and Shannon Mattern is generous to her readers, serving as an informed guide to a complex past. She pushes us to a rich archaeological encounter with the layered presence of the past, as well as its vanished remains and traces, to think about ways of reading the world in its full artifactuality. The book is a wonderfully vivid account and analysis of the intersections of media technologies and urban landscapes."—Johanna Drucker, University of California, Los Angeles
For years, pundits have trumpeted the earthshattering changes that big data and smart networks will soon bring to our cities. But what if cities have long been built for intelligence, maybe for millennia? In Code and Clay, Data and Dirt Shannon Mattern advances the provocative argument that our urban spaces have been “smart” and mediated for thousands of years.
Offering powerful new ways of thinking about our cities, Code and Clay, Data and Dirt goes far beyond the standard historical concepts of origins, development, revolutions, and the accomplishments of an elite few. Mattern shows that in their architecture, laws, street layouts, and civic knowledge—and through technologies including the telephone, telegraph, radio, printing, writing, and even the human voice—cities have long negotiated a rich exchange between analog and digital, code and clay, data and dirt, ether and ore.
Mattern’s vivid prose takes readers through a historically and geographically broad range of stories, scenes, and locations, synthesizing a new narrative for our urban spaces. Taking media archaeology to the city’s streets, Code and Clay, Data and Dirt reveals new ways to write our urban, media, and cultural histories.
Shannon Mattern is associate professor in the School of Media Studies at The New School in New York. She is author of The New Downtown Library: Designing with Communities and Deep Mapping the Media City, both from Minnesota.

Subject: Call for Contributions: “Documentary Film Cultures: Wales” (Edited Collection)
DEADLINE REMINDER: December 10th, 2017 - Abstract submission deadline
Call for Contributions
“Documentary Film Cultures: Wales” (Edited Collection)
Editors:
Professor Elin Haf Gruffydd Jones & Dr Dafydd Sills-Jones, Aberystwyth University
The purpose of this edited collection is to gather together the latest research and opinion on the documentary film culture of Wales, for a book in the new Documentary Film Cultures series from Peter Lang (https://www.peterlang.com/view/serial/DFC).
Documentary in contemporary Wales has evolved as part of a wider national emergence from a British context, marked by the appointment of Cardiff as Wales’ capital as late as 1955, the launch of a Welsh language broadcaster Sianel 4 Cymru (S4C) in 1982, and the founding of Y Senedd (National Assembly for Wales) following the referendum of 1997. It is closely linked to the British tradition, and especially to the BBC documentary film values of authority, facticity and dominant political discourse. Most of Wales’ documentary output has been produced by televisual broadcasters such as BBC Cymru/Wales, HTV Wales and Sianel 4 Cymru (S4C). This has had a specific and complex effect on the way documentary has presented reality, and projected notions of Welshness.
In recent years, there has been a shift towards a more independent mode of production, with Welsh filmmakers taking their place in an international community of production, co-production and distribution. These shifts include the founding of a national festival of documentary (WIDF), a national guild of documentary makers (DOGFEN Cymru), and new documentary strands developed by S4C, activist documentary production and emergent filmmakers within academia. This book seeks to place this new, emerging, transnational, multi-lingual and aspirational ecosystem next to the older system that gave it life, in an attempt to trace the development of a film culture in a specific instance of small nation cinema dynamics.
This exciting new book from Peter Lang series provides a space for exploring the development of documentary film cultures in the contemporary context. The series takes an ecological approach to the study of documentary funding, production, distribution and consumption by emphasizing the interconnections between these practices and those of other media systems. It thus encourages new ways of understanding documentary films or practices as part of other, wider systems of cultural production.
Therefore, we are looking for contributions on the contemporary documentary culture/ecology of Wales, from any perspective, including:
- Contemporary Production Structures and Cultures
- Historical Background to the Contemporary Scene
- Welsh Language Documentary
- Bilingualism and Documentary in Wales
- Legislative Frameworks and Documentary Output
- Alternative Documentary Aesthetics and Practices
- Activist & Community: Not-For-Profit Documentary
- Welsh Documentary Auteurs
- A ‘Welsh’ Documentary Aesthetic
- Wales And the British documentary tradition
- Transnational Welsh Documentary
- Documentary in the Academy
- Welsh Documentary Audiences
- Welsh Identity and Documentary / Identity and Welsh Documentary
We are open to formats that could include but are not limited to: traditional book chapters (6-7k), short opinion/provocation pieces (2-3K), dialogues and interviews.
Timeline:
December 10th, 2017 - Abstract submission deadline
January 8th – Notification of acceptance
May 2018 – contributions due

Subject: British Music Video DVD Boxset release
Dear Colleagues
We are delighted to announce that Power to the People: British Music Videos 1966-2016, a newly curated work by Professor Emily Caston, is released on Amazon from 4th December and is available for pre-order now: http://amzn.eu/dxyOcUX
This is a special and limited edition DVD Boxset presenting 200 music videos produced in Britain between 1966 and 2016. Each video has been selected by a panel of over 100 directors, producers, editors, colourists and commissioners as a representation of a landmark in British music video history - whether by adoption of a new technology, distribution platform, music genre, or performance style. Accompanying the 6-disc collection is an Introductory Essay by Emily Caston explaining the curatorial principles and ambitions of the collection which is organised into 6-Discs titled ‘Performance’, ‘Concept’, ‘Dance’, ‘Stories’, ‘Wit’, and ‘Portraits’, with sub-genres such as ‘Pop Will Eat Itself’. The Boxset contains unprecedented list of production credits for each of the 200 music videos – giving students for the first time the chance to identify the leading filmmakers, VFX companies and production companies who made these influential works and who have constituted the little-documented music video industry in Britain.
We are thrilled to say that the collection features two new digitally re-mastered videos: Flowered Up’s 'Weekender' (1992), said to have inspired Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting, made possible because WIZ, the director, kept the original 35mm print in his attic for 25 years, and a digitally re-mastered copy of Manfred Mann’s ‘The Mighty Quinn’ (1968) created from a forgotten 16mm print located in the BFI’s archives. It includes videos for artists ranging from The Who and The Rolling Stones, to Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Cure, Eurythmics, The Human League, Joy Division, New Order, The Clash, Kate Bush, George Michael, Sade, So Solid Crew, The Prodigy, Massive Attack, Orbital, The Aphex Twin, Blur, Radiohead, Bjork, Tricky, PJ Harvey, Basement Jaxx, The Chemical Brothers, Dizzee Rascal, M.I.A. and FKA Twigs.
The Boxset accompanies Professor Caston’s forthcoming book on British Music Videos (Edinburgh University Press), and a new National Collection of Landmark British Music Videos held at the BFI National Film Archive – all outputs of the AHRC-funded project Fifty Years of British Music Video (University of Portsmouth, University of the Arts London and University of West London). The collection is being sold with the generous support of the BPI, British record labels, artists and managers who have invested considerable resources in the production and distribution of the work in order to support greater teaching, research and appreciation of the craft of music videos.
We have only a limited number of copies to sell at a special price (RRP £39.99), so please do encourage your students and librarians to purchase while stocks last!

Subject: When postcolonial studies meets media studies
When postcolonial studies meets media studies - Talk by Professor Raka Shome - University of Goldsmith, London
Hosted by MeCCSA Race, Ethnicity and Postcolonial Network, with the Goldsmiths’ Centre for Feminist Research and Race Critical Studies Network
Monday, 27 November 2017 from 5 to 6.30 pm
In the introduction to the collected volume entitled 'Post-colonial studies meets Media Studies' (2016) Kai Merten and Lucia Kramer mapped out the trajectory of this encounter in various studies of the last twenty years and the different strategies adopted. Raka Shome and Radha Hegde editorship of the 2002 volume of Communication Theory is singled out as 'the initial spark for the more sociological brand of Media Studies to deal with Postcolonial Studies'. More recent work by Raka Shome has pursued further this relationship and we are therefore really happy to invite you to her talk.
Abstract
This talk will address what epistemological unsettlings, as well as new theoretical possibilities, occur when we bring postcolonial studies into conversation with media studies and vice versa. Although postcolonial studies has been primarily dominant in fields as such as Literature, and Comparative Literature, as well as Anthropology, media studies has not been programmatically involved in postcolonial studies much, despite lone scholars working on postcolonial approaches to media and communication in different locations. In an attempt to build a coherent intellectual trajectory and the area of 'postcolonial media studies,' we need to bring these areas together to see how they may unsettle each other as well as, more importantly, open up new areas and frameworks for investigation, both in media studies as well as postcolonial studies. Relatedly, a part of this talk will also address how engaging a media and technology framework in postcolonial studies may also enable us to address new in/visibilities and relations of gender--especially the gendered body.

Subject: Creativity, Copyright and Citation - Learning on Screen Members' Day and AGM 2017
***sorry for cross-posting***
This year the Learning on Screen annual members’ day will look at the issues of creativity, copyright and citation with the use of audiovisual in education. The Learning on Screen AGM will also take place during the day.
Friday 1 December, 10 am – 3 pm
Geological Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, Mayfair, London W1J 0BD

Audiovisual can support creativity in teaching, learning and research across all subject areas, so for our members’ day this year we will hear from a range of speakers about how and why they use it in their work. With presentations, demonstrations, case studies and an expert panel discussion, the day will outline how to find and use a wide range of audiovisual content, supported with metadata. We will also hear about ways to reduce the environmental impact of creating new audiovisual material.
Understanding the copyright implications of using audiovisual materials in teaching, learning and research remains a priority issue for our members and the day will cover the latest research and guidance on this. The final piece of the jigsaw is understanding how to correctly cite the use of audiovisual material and our newly updated academic citation guidelines will also be presented on the day.
