Internationalisation of media industries and sense of space
This document argues that the internationalization and conglomeration of media industries does not have a positive effect on our sense of place and belonging. It contends that as media ownership becomes more concentrated, content will become more uniform, potentially threatening diversity and local identities. While international media can foster a global communicative space, without common political and social systems, it will be difficult to establish a shared identity. The trend towards media conglomeration risks the creation of a homogenized global cultural identity driven by profit motives, rather than diversity and local distinction.
It's not about race
The document discusses the concept of "racial neoliberalism" and how post-racialism has become the dominant way that racism is expressed discursively today. It also examines the debate around multiculturalism and how the "crisis of multiculturalism" has become a contemporary articulation of racism within this framework. Several quotes are presented analyzing these concepts from the perspective of the authors Lentin and Titley's book "The Crises of Multiculturalism."
New Voices, Postmodernism's Focus On The Marginalised
The document discusses how postmodernism focuses on marginalized groups and identities through examining concepts like authenticity, essentialism, and the historical construction of categories. It explores how notions of primitiveness, femininity, and homosexuality have been shaped by power structures over time to exclude or otherize certain communities. Postmodernism questions grand narratives and truths by deconstructing dominant representations and knowledge production.
Learning from the Righteous - visual identity - case study
The project "Learning From the Righteous" is a collaboration between author Antony Lishak and the Polish Embassy in the UK. It encourages Polish and Jewish children to reflect on acts of rescue during the Holocaust by non-Jews recognized as "Righteous Among the Nations" by Yad Vashem. Those recognized as Righteous are awarded a medal, certificate, and have their name added to the Wall of Honor at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. The project materials include collections of stories, a book cover, and social media graphics to promote the stories of rescue and lessons of the Righteous.
Propaganda project
This document discusses Nazi propaganda in Germany in the 1930s. It provides examples of anti-Semitic and racist propaganda, including a children's book titled "The Poisonous Mushroom" and a poster warning about "subhumans" from Eastern Europe. It also quotes Hitler and Goebbels about using propaganda to spread Nazi ideology to the German people. The document contains photos of Nazi propaganda posters promoting ideas like compulsory sterilization and large families among Aryans.

When did multiculturalism end some reflections on useful european mythologiesMohammed (MIDHAL) Dhalech
The document discusses debates around whether and when multiculturalism ended in Europe. It notes that some argue multiculturalism failed by creating isolated communities and breeding extremism, while others argue multiculturalism's demise has been exaggerated for political reasons to consolidate cultural uniformity. The document also examines how culture and identity have been invoked in governance, with culture sometimes blamed for socioeconomic problems or used as a mode of governance in a neoliberal era.Jewish Resistance to Nazi Germany (a Coursera essay)
This essay on the Holocaust, or Shoah, goes back several years ago—possibly the early-to-mid 2010s. I wrote it for a Coursera course called “The Holocaust: The Destruction of European Jewry”, which Professors Murray Baumgarten (https://literature.ucsc.edu/faculty/emeriti-faculty.php?uid=dickens) and Peter Kenez (https://humanities.ucsc.edu/academics/faculty/emeriti.php?uid=kenez; https://news.ucsc.edu/2016/04/kenez-emeriti-award.html) co-teach.
Professors Baumgarten and Kenez, respectively specializing in literature and history, are affiliated with the University of California, Santa Cruz.
I’m putting it up to demonstrate writing ability as well as an interest in historical topics.

Week 5: Inventing Nations
This document discusses the origins and development of modern nations and nationalism. It poses questions about how and when national consciousness emerged and how national identity was invented. It outlines two models of nation-building - the early Western European model where the dominant ethnic group aligned with the state, and the later Central/Eastern European model where minority ruling classes dominated multiple ethnic groups. It also describes historian Miroslav Hroch's three phases of nationalism from scholarly research to mass movements. Finally, it provides examples of how history, language, folklore and the arts were used as cultural sites to build national identity and movements in countries like Germany and Italy.

Buerger - W3C Media Annotation Working Group @EUscreen Mykonos
The W3C Media Annotation Working Group (MAWG) aims to facilitate metadata integration for media resources on the web. It is developing an ontology and API to provide unified access to metadata from various formats. The ontology defines common properties and mappings from standards like MPEG-7 and Dublin Core. It has been implemented in OWL and the API allows client-side access using the ontology properties. Current work includes finalizing the ontology implementation and testing mappings and the API. The goal is to resolve interoperability issues around media metadata on the web.
Ockeloen - EUscreen portal preview @EUscreen Mykonos
The document outlines four problems with a portal and proposes solutions:
1. The portal needs to be more than just 2x2 meters and show only relevant content for different user groups like researchers, educators, and kids.
2. The portal should remember individual user preferences so people aren't clicking through many pages to find what they want.
3. There needs to be a single starting point (portal) that allows users to easily access their preferred pages and tools with fewer clicks.
4. The portal needs flexibility to adapt to changing user needs over time, rather than being fully designed upfront before user requirements are clear.
Turnok, Kaye, Carrasqueiro - EUscreen content selection policy @EUscreen Mykonos
This document provides guidelines for content selection for the EUscreen project. It outlines three strands of content: historical topics, comparative virtual exhibitions, and content provider virtual exhibitions. For historical topics, content should be selected from 14 topics across genres and time periods. For comparative virtual exhibitions, content providers will contribute 5% of their content to each of two comparative themes. A timeline is provided to select the comparative exhibition themes by July 2010.
Sofou - VIRaL @EUscreen Mykonos
This document introduces VIRaL, a web-based image retrieval and localization system. VIRaL aims to retrieve visually similar images from a collection of over 1.1 million geotagged photos depicting urban landscapes. It can then localize a user's query photo by determining the location and identifying landmarks, linking them to Wikipedia entries. The system performs these tasks in under 4 seconds on average.
Oomen - Waisda @EUscreen Mykonos
The document summarizes an Euscreen workshop on audiovisual heritage and participatory culture. It discusses using games and crowdsourcing to generate metadata tags for archival media collections. Players score points when their tags match another player's tag within 10 seconds, motivating fun competition. Over 500 people registered for the tagging game, generating over 340,000 tags for 600 archive items. While initial tags often described short segments and lacked specificity, applying ontology alignment could make the tags more useful for searching collections. The future involves moving toward more semantic tagging.
EUscreen Portal Launch: Open Data @Utrecht Archive (NL)

A public launch of the EUScreen portal is scheduled for October 2010.
Academic Valorization of Online Audiovisual Content
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for academics researching television history using online audiovisual content. It notes that while abundant online content provides many sources, it also lacks context and curation that historians rely on. However, European databases and collaborations between academics and archivists can help place content in context and write new types of comparative and grassroots television histories. New approaches are needed to make the most of online content and build bridges between academic and archival domains.

The document discusses Resource Description Framework (RDF) and its role in representing data on the Semantic Web. It provides examples of how RDF can represent relationships between resources through triples and graphs, and compares this to how the same information would be represented in XML. It also discusses RDF Schema (RDFS) and the Ontology Web Language (OWL) as languages used to build ontologies that can express richer relationships between resources on the Semantic Web.
History and Memory.pdf
This document discusses the role of historical memory in shaping national identity. It begins by defining historical memory and distinguishing it from history. Historical memory is a collective social phenomenon that represents a group's shared memories and understanding of the past. It forms the basis for individual and social identity. The document then reviews various theories about historical memory from philosophers like Halbwachs, Nietzsche, and Foucault. It discusses how historical memory is socially constructed and manipulated for political purposes. Finally, it argues that historical memory plays a key role in building national identity and ensuring national security through the teaching of history and the formation of a nation's historical narrative. States use historical memory to create a positive national image and negative images of competitors
Literature remembers history_sule-premat
This document provides a summary and analysis of two Algerian novels: Un regard blessé by Rabah Belamri and La Malédiction by Rachid Mimouni. Both novels deal with Algeria's history around the time of its independence from France in the 1960s. Belamri's novel focuses on the last months of the Algerian War of Independence in 1962, while Mimouni's novel focuses on the post-colonial period, including the rise of Islamic political parties in the 1990s elections. The document analyzes how both novels use literature to "re-member" or recollect pieces of history and collective memory to explore Algeria's complex identity and the relationship between political events and the collective consciousness of the
Roger Griffin: PAPER TIGERS - The role of writers in European fascism..pdf
Roger Griffin will give a presentation on writers and translators in occupied Europe from 1940-1945. He will focus on how thousands of anonymous writers helped normalize fascist values through their work, rationalizing the causes of World War 2 from the safety of their studies with few consequences. Griffin will survey the different types of writing under fascism, the relationship between writing and fascism, and the affinity some writers felt for fascism. He will also discuss how fascism appropriated past cultural works and the intense censorship of non-fascist writings. The presentation aims to probe the psychology of writing under totalitarianism and how states controlled writing for propaganda aims.

This document discusses the Holocaust and how it has become sanctified as a central part of Jewish history and identity. It argues that the Holocaust has become a "group fantasy" that distorts and replaces the real history and facts of what occurred. It asserts that viewing the Holocaust solely through the lens of the Jewish experience ignores the suffering of other groups. The document also discusses how the myth of the Holocaust continues to shape Israeli nationalism and policies in ways that provoke further conflict rather than resolve issues.
Theory and context3_-_plus_ca_change
This document provides context on key ideas, individuals, and events that shaped the 1940s and beyond, including:
1) Utopian visions of the future from writers like HG Wells and Oscar Wilde are discussed, as well as dystopian visions from works like We, 1984, and Brave New World that criticized totalitarianism.
2) Philosophies like existentialism, explored by Jean-Paul Sartre, focused on themes of freedom, commitment, and the search for meaning in an absurd world.
3) Architecture in the Soviet Union after WWII took on a triumphal style with tall buildings intended to showcase their power and draw visitors, while other modernist designs emerged in Europe as

Cosmopolitanism and patriotism
This document discusses the histories and definitions of cosmopolitanism and patriotism. Cosmopolitanism originated in ancient Greece and emphasizes world citizenship over allegiance to individual states. It developed through Greek philosophers, Roman Stoics, and Enlightenment thinkers proposing a united Europe. Patriotism emerged in imperial Rome and modernized during the American and French revolutions to represent commitment to the nation-state. Both concepts continue evolving with globalization and debates around nationalism versus individual freedoms.

The document summarizes a book titled "The Jewish Utopia" which outlines Zionists' plans for global domination according to the author. It describes the book as presenting a vision of a future worldwide regime dominated by Zionists according to Jewish religious texts and rabbis. The book advocates for a socialist-style world order governed by a single ideology and values system determined by Jewish authorities, with the righteous following their leadership and the wicked being denied participation. The author expresses concern over what such a regime could mean for freedoms and self-determination of non-Jewish peoples.
Counter archives cfp final
This document announces the Third International Conference of the Greek Oral History Association (GOHA) to be held in Salonica, Greece from June 3-5, 2016. The conference will rethink the concepts of "history from below" and "counter-archives" in the current context. It will examine who and what topics should now be included, the nature of new 21st century counter-archives, and how oral historians can better engage audiences and contribute to social change. Proposals on topics like life stories of refugees, oral history and the arts, work and unemployment, and new subjectivities are invited for consideration.
Imagined_communities
This document provides an outline of Benedict Anderson's book "Imagined Communities" which examines the concept of nationalism in the global era. Some key points:
- Anderson argues that nations are "imagined communities" that are socially constructed and limited rather than objective realities.
- The rise of print capitalism and standardized languages in the late 18th century helped spread ideas of nationalism by creating unified fields of exchange and communication.
- Different types of nationalism emerged such as creole nationalism in colonial societies and official nationalism promoted by ruling elites to unite diverse empires.
- By the early 20th century, nationalism had become the international norm as modernization and globalization spread concepts of the nation-state worldwide
The zionist palestinian conflict -an alternative story
1) The document provides an alternative narrative of the Zionist-Palestinian conflict that challenges mainstream media representations. It analyzes Zionist ideology from a Palestinian perspective as a colonial settler movement.
2) Zionism viewed Palestinians as an obstacle in the way of establishing a Jewish state and implementing the slogan of "a land without people for people without land." This ideology led to massacres, dispossession, and the denial of Palestinian existence and rights.
3) Palestinian resistance was seen by Zionists as "illegitimate" and "terrorism," similar to terms used against resistance in Apartheid South Africa. Zionism fought against a representative Palestinian government that could uphold Arab majority rule and threaten the Zionist project.

Assmann, Jan - Cultural Memory And Early Civilization
This document discusses the transmission of cultural memory across generations through oral storytelling and ritual practices. It analyzes passages from the Pentateuch where parents are instructed to teach their children the meanings and origins of Jewish laws and rituals by recounting the story of the exodus from Egypt. The father answers the child's questions using pronouns like "we" and "I" to incorporate the child into the collective memory of the Jewish people and their shared history of slavery in Egypt and liberation by God.

Small, rebellious museums. Heritage awaiting a succession (Sandra Ferracuti)heritageorganisations.eu
This document discusses the history and practices of spontaneous or grassroots ethnographic museums in Italy run by amateur researchers since the 1970s who aim to preserve examples of Italian pre-industrial life. It also references the work of inhabitants of the village of Armungia in Sardinia who recalled and preserved tangible elements of their cultural history related to traditional livelihoods in response to depopulation and unemployment threats in the present. Finally, it discusses collaborative and reflexive approaches to museography that engage in dialogue between different cultural perspectives and heritages.Similar to A Case of Cosmopolitan Memory?

Navigating Digital Archival Routes through European Television
This document provides the text of a farewell lecture given at Utrecht University about European digital television heritage and its potential to foster a sense of shared European identity and culture. The lecture discusses how digitization has enabled the creation of repositories like EUscreen that aggregate television content from across Europe. This allows for new opportunities to study television history from a comparative, cross-border perspective and help people engage with the diversity of Europe's cultural heritage. However, issues around copyright and the unequal digitization of archives across countries pose challenges. The lecture argues that television, through initiatives like EUscreen, can play an important role in developing a concept of "rooted Europolitanism," where people feel a dual identity and loyalty to both their local communities
Steven Stegers Moving Images in History Education
Content in Motion | Curating Europe’s Audiovisual Heritage Conference, December 3-4 2015; www.euscreenxl2015.eu
The teaching of film literacy is an “uncommon and sporadic practice”. This was the answer of 62% of the 6,701 teachers who participated in a European-wide survey. Only 5% teachers answered it is a “widespread and common practice”. Why is the teaching of film literacy not more widespread? Especially since having access to equipment is no longer a barrier and film and television have a major impact on the way young people see and understand the world. This session tries to see why moving images are not used more and what can be done. It will do so by looking into current practices, presenting potential use cases, and identifying learning objectives that can only be reached by using moving images.
Andreas Fickers: Transmedia Storytelling and Media History
Content in Motion | Curating Europe’s Audiovisual Heritage Conference, December 3-4 2015; www.euscreenxl2015.eu
The presentation focuses on the challenges and opportunities of transmedia storytelling in media history.
The massive digitization of historical sources and their online availability have a deep impact on the practice of doing history in the digital age and require new forms of historical research and storytelling. Drawing from studies in digital storytelling and multimedia narratives, this lecture aims at exploring new forms of non-linear historical storytelling online. In addition, it will address tensions between disciplinary traditions and a lack of scholarly recognition of new genres and formats of online scholarship.
Dean Jansen: Community-Driven Video Accessibility | Content in Motion
Content in Motion | Curating Europe’s Audiovisual Heritage Conference, December 3-4 2015; www.euscreenxl2015.eu
The presentation looks at the story of Amara – the world’s most popular crowdsourcing platform for subtitling video. The software was born out of a desire to see video become more accessible. This is made possible through the use of captions, for viewers with hearing loss, as well as subtitles, for anyone who doesn't speak the language a video was recorded in.
Amara is developed and maintained by a mission-driven nonprofit organization, the Participatory Culture Foundation. The platform has grown from a simple DIY tool into a complex ecosystem. Amara currently integrates volunteer and community-based approaches to subtitling, as well as professional services (for sustainability purposes).
Amara is used in many ways by individuals and organizations alike. Some people volunteer by captioning videos upon request, but there are also larger communities that gather around a specific organization or video publisher and translate videos – some into dozens of languages. Additionally, organizations including TED, the US National Archives, and Vimeo, have all used Amara to make video more broadly accessible.
Elsa Coupard & Claude Mussou: Curating History with French Audiovisual Archives

This session presents Jalons (Milestones), an online service aimed at the educational community, created by Ina in partnership with the French Ministry of Education.
Ina (Institut national de l’audiovisuel) was created in 1975. It is one of the world's largest broadcast archives, with collections spanning over 60 years for TV and 80 years for radio. As many documents in these collections take part in the narrative of history in the last century and onward, they are indispensable for education and training.

Content in Motion | Curating Europe’s Audiovisual Heritage Conference, December 3-4 2015; www.euscreenxl2015.eu
This paper is aimed first at analyzing the initial public impact of Histoire Parallèle/Die Woche vor 50 Jahren, which aired weekly first on la Sept and then on French-German TV channel Arte from 1989 to 2001.
The 55-minute show exploited newsreel material, systematically presenting it in the original full length after exactly 50 years after its initial release in movie theatres. It covered a period stretching from the beginning of World War II until the end of the Marshall Plan. It simultaneously illustrated contradictive perspectives of several nations at war with each other. This part of the show lasted for 40 minutes. Then, for the final quarter of an hour, the show’s mainstay host, historian Marc Ferro discussed the material presented with a guest, usually a scholar. Despite the fact that the show could never be sold to foreign channels or rebroadcast, it still arouses great interest. Therefore our paper intends to explore how and to what extent content curation may contribute to it becoming a transnational or European Lieu de mémoire.

The presentation explores Europeana’s framework for measuring impact (strategy2020.europeana.eu) and the role that curation can play in maximizing the impact of AV archives.
Over the past six years Europeana has developed into a full-blown platform, servicing a network of thousands of libraries, archives and museums across Europe. The most visible expression of this collective endeavour is a portal, which allows users to discover material from every member state and every domain in Europe. Europeana is now entering a new phase of its existence, which will be even more focused on the impact we can have together on our industry, the creative economy and social innovation.

This document discusses prototypes for publishing audiovisual research online. It presents four prototypes that vary based on author steering and user agency. The prototypes include a textual prototype that allows for concluding author steering, a visual prototype for experiencing a story, a textual prototype for sharing knowledge through user agency, and a visual prototype for exploring through user agency. Functionalities for online publications are also discussed, including video annotation, video collections, and quick subtitling. The document describes an exercise for groups to discuss applying these prototypes and functionalities to their own research examples.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
