Time and Photography: Time in Photography, Photography in Time (Leuven & Louvain-la-Neuve)
Thursday 13th, Friday 14th and Saturday 15th of March 2008, colloque international / International Conference
Call for papers, deadline: 31 December 2007.
This conference is a key moment in the new international cross disciplinary interest in photography in its relationships with time. Until recently, the various approaches of photography and time were elaborated in relative isolation. Among these approaches were: the narratological, poetological and art-theoretical approaches, which study the representation of time in the fixed image and its multiple decodings by an active reader; the historical approach, which considers the photograph a form of historical evidence; and the anthropological approach, which examines the photograph the transformations of the image as a material object through time. The members of the organizing committee, the keynote speakers, and the various contributors, have all published widely not just within one or more of these perspectives, but have encountered within their own research the necessity to theorize the interdisciplinary dimensions of the ongoing work as well as to implement them in new joint research projects, which will be debated during the conference.




En mai dernier, à Quito, Guayaquil et Manta (Equateur) ont eu lieu pour la sixième fois les Encuentros Del Otro Cine (EDOC), Rencontres d’un Autre Cinéma, Festival international de cinéma documentaire. Ce festival est né de la volonté d’un groupe d’artistes, photographes et réalisateurs de mettre en valeur et faire connaître les productions les plus importantes du cinéma documentaire d’auteur, depuis ses débuts et jusqu’aux productions les plus contemporaines dans ce domaine. Parmi les réalisateurs dont les films ont été présentés aux EDOC se trouvent Raymond Depardon, Nicolas Philibert, Chris Marker, Albert Maysles, Patricio Guzman, Fernando Solanas, Joaquim Jorda, Rithy Pahn, Michael Moore, et beaucoup de jeunes réalisateurs latino-américains.
