Panel CFP: DOCUMENTARY SYNERGY SCMS 2008, March 6-9, Philadelphia Contemporary media ecology has generated a wide range of opportunities for multi-platform documentary projects and adaptations across different media. However, such documentary synergy is not merely a recent phenomenon facilitated by digital technologies? remediation of the moving image. It has a much longer history that is as old as documentary film itself. This panel shall examine the theoretical and historical dynamics at work within various forms of documentary synergy. In its movement across diverse institutional worlds, media platforms and public spheres, documentary synergy opens up new perspectives and questions for our understanding of documentary production, representation and spectatorship. The panel aims to cover the synergistic connections between a range of historical periods, cultural contexts and media platforms (including, for instance, cinema, television, video art, photography, graphic arts, gallery installation, museum exhibition, public and environmental art, web-based projects, CD/DVD-ROMs, print publication, sound art, radio and performance). Please send paper proposal (300 word abstract, bio and biblio) or inquiries via email to Roger Hallas, [log in to unmask] by August 15. ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the University of Alabama: http://www.tcf.ua.edu
