Approaches to audiovisual media in the scholarly body

Abstract

Force11 (the Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship) is a virtual community working to transform scholarly communications toward improved knowledge creation and sharing. The Beyond the PDF conference brings together scholars, librarians, archivists, publishers and research funders in a lively forum, not just to broaden awareness of current efforts across disciplines, but to define the future through discussions, challenge projects, demonstrations and seeding new partnerships and collaborations.

CIID’s Head of Research, Jamie Allen is co-organising a satellite session with Erwin Verbruggen (Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision): ‘Approaches to audiovisual media in the scholarly body’

This session proposes to discuss the improvement of ways in which audiovisual media can be used in online scholarly publications. We intend to discuss the topic from two different angles: audiovisual media as original sources for research and as a means of expressing scholarly thought. Of interest here is the way that digital medias, and the opportunities posed to ‘manifestations of thought in all its forms’ wrought through have or have not been fully taken into the prospect of scholarly, academic and practice-oriented research culture.
