Third Annual SCREEN INDUSTRIES IN EAST-CENTRAL EUROPE CONFERENCE:

INDUSTRIAL AUTHORSHIP 29 November - 1 December 2013, Palacký University, Olomouc, Czech Republic

The Third Annual Screen Industries in East-Central Europe Conference (SIECE) investigates historical and contemporary dimensions of the region’s audiovisual media industries from all angles - local, transnational, economic, cultural, social, and political - and through a broad range of original scholarship delivered in the form of conceptual papers and empirical case-studies.

Conference venues: Palacký University, Centre of Arts, Univerzitní 3, Olomouc.

Conference attendance is free of charge, and the official language is English.

Sponsored by "The Partnership Network of Universities and Film Industry" (FIND), a project funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) via the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports - The Education for Competitiveness Operational Programme (ECOP) in collaboration with the Czech Society of Film Studies, Palacký University, and Masaryk University

The Third Annual Screen Industries in East-Central Europe Conference (SIECE) will focus on the broadly defined subject of industrial authorship. In recent times, the concept of the author has become somewhat marginalized in screen studies discourse. Yet, John Caughie has suggested that this figure looms large "everywhere else - in publicity, in journalistic reviews, in television programmes, in film retrospectives, in the marketing of cinema". Caughie goes on to explain that "Sometime around the point at which Film Studies began to be embarrassed by its affiliation to the author, the film industry and its subsidiaries began to discover with renewed enthusiasm the value of authorial branding for both marketing and reputation". The prominent position that authorship occupies across the region’s audiovisual cultures demands investigation in broader, revisionist terms that offload the Romantic notion of the autonomous Auteur in favor of approaches that confront its collectivity and institutional dimensions, and that respect authorship as a phenomenon that can be subject to acts of branding, contestation, appropriation, repurposing, remixing, and so on . As Derek Johnson and Jonathan Gray recently put it: "The author is a node through which discourses of beauty, truth, meaning, and value must travel, while also being a node through which money, power, labor, and the control of culture must travel, and while frequently serving as the mediating figure standing between large organizations (such as Lucasfilm or Fox) and the audience". Building from such a position, the 2013 SIECE Conference will broach questions about the industrial dimensions of authorship, considering how it has become part of the cultural, political, and economic fabric of East-Central Europe.
