Vojna in mir na zaslonih / War and Peace on Screen

Vabljeni!

Naš program je nared: dva dneva referatov, osrednji gost iz Velike Britanije, 28 raziskovalcev iz 10 držav - od Kanade do Turčije, od Velike Britanije do Alžirije. Teme referatov segajo od klasičnih upodobitev velikih vojn 20. stoletja do gverilskih posnetkov z najnovejših in najbolj tragičnih prizorišč, od velikih uspešnic na največjih platnih do cenzuriranih oziroma tako ali drugače "osenčenih" prispevkov z manjših in najmanjših zaslonov, od antivojnih epopej do aktivističnih manifestov, od iskanja človečnosti v podobah, v katere nezadržno prodira umetna inteligenca, do prepoznavanja iskre upora v podobah popolnega razčlovečenja. O vsem tem na mednarodnem simpoziju Vojna in mir na zaslonih 24. in 25. septembra na Akademiji za gledališče, radio, film in televizijo Univerze v Ljubljani. Vabljeni!

Our programme is ready: two days of papers, keynote speaker from Great Britain, 28 researchers from 10 countries - from Canada to Turkey, from Great Britain to Algeria. The topics of the papers range from classic depictions of the great wars of the 20th century to guerilla footage from the latest and most tragic war zones, from blockbusters on the biggest screens to censored or "shadowed" footage on smaller and the smallest screens, from anti-war epics to activist manifestos, from searching for humanity in images that are increasingly penetrated by artificial intelligence, to recognizing the spark of rebellion in images of complete dehumanization. All this and more at the international symposium War and Peace on Screen, 24 and 25 September, at the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television, the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Welcome!

ANNOUNCEMENT!

Vojna in mir na zaslonih / War and Peace on Screen

International symposium UL AGRFT
24 and 25 September 2024

We live in uncertain times. War zones are multiplying, military conflicts and war crimes, which are happening increasingly close to us, cannot be ignored, there are too many screens constantly conveying them to us. If the Gulf War with its representations in mainstream media had already encouraged Baudrillard to postulate its hyperreality, the live broadcast, made possible by new communication technologies at any moment and on a wide variety of channels, only intensifies this ontological effect. Technological capabilities, which have taken image (and sound) far beyond indexicality and at the same time made it possible for humans to leave the most lethal decisions to artificial intelligence, fill audiences with scepticism, distrust and fear. The increasingly tangible possibility of a devastating global conflict has shrunk the space for philosophical distance and it demands commitment and action from all of us.

Our international symposium will therefore shed light on the complexity of the present moment through multi- and interdisciplinary approaches and it will also put it in a historical perspective. The common denominator of the contributions will be visualising war and imagining peace on screens of all shapes and sizes, hence we shall be interested in questions such as:

- Technological development, which has radically transformed audiovisual media, too, can be understood as a paradigmatic shift that paves the way for posthumanism or the posthuman gaze. How does this affect the roles and responsibility of audiovisual media in relation to war? Is the range of these roles expanding or contracting? Is their responsibility greater or has it become impossible?
- It is a well-known and well-documented fact that, throughout history, screens have often been called upon to serve as propaganda, especially when the latter’s goal was warmongering or incitement of hatred. What about screens as anti-war, peacemaking platforms or even as facilitators of conflict resolution? Does the noble goal as such guarantee their credibility, resonance and therefore also influence?
- Are viewers of images of war becoming more literate and better informed through historical experience and increasingly complex theoretical reflection? Are technological development and the ensuing paradigmatic transformation making us more critically engaged or desensitised, more empathetic or apathetic?
- What is the role of art in the present-day deluge of images of war? Is the space of artistic reflection the ultimate site of genuine contact with human tragedy, which is being dehumanised, willy-nilly, by the inevitable hyperproduction of current affairs content?

NAJAVA!

Vojna in mir na zaslonih / War and Peace on Screen

Mednarodni znanstveni simpozij UL AGRFT
24. in 25. september 2024

Živimo v negotovih časih. Vojna žarišča se množijo, vojaških spopadov in vojnih zločinov, ki se dogajajo tudi zelo blizu nas, ni mogoče odmisliti, preveč je zaslonov, ki nam jih nenehno posredujejo. Če je že zalivska vojna z reprezentacijami v osrednjih medijih Baudrillarda spodbudila k postuliranju njene hiperrealnosti, prenos v živo, ki ga sedaj v vsakem trenutku in na najrazličnejših kanalih omogočajo nove komunikacijske tehnologije, le še stopnjuje ta ontološki učinek. Tehnološke zmogljivosti, ki so podobo (in zvok) ponesle daleč onkraj indeksikalnosti ter hkrati omogočile, da človek najbolj smrtonosne odločitve prepušča umetni inteligenci, občinstva navdajajo s skepso, nezaupanjem in strahom. Čedalje bolj oprijemljiva možnost uničujočega svetovnega spopada krči prostor za filozofsko distanco in od slehernika terja angažma in akcijo.

Na mednarodnem znanstvenem simpoziju bomo zato kompleksnost sedanjega trenutka osvetljevali skozi multi- in interdisciplinarne pristope ter ga postavljali tudi v zgodovinsko perspektivo. Skupni imenovalec prispevkov bo torej vizualiziranje vojne in zamišljanje miru na zaslonih vseh oblik in velikosti, pri čemer nas bodo zanimala vprašanja, kot so:

- Tehnološki razvoj, ki v temelju spreminja tudi avdiovizualne medije, je mogoče razumeti kot paradigmatski premik, ki utira pot posthumanizmu oziroma postčloveškemu pogledu. Kako to zaznamuje vloge in odgovornost avdiovizualnih medijev v odnosu do vojn? Se nabor teh vlog širi ali krči? Je njihova odgovornost večja ali je postala nemogoča?
- Dobro znano in dokumentirano je dejstvo, da so bili zasloni skozi zgodovino pogosto vpoklicani v službo propagande, zlasti ko je bil cilj slednje vojno hujskaštvo oziroma podžiganje sovraštva. Kako pa se zasloni obnesejo kot protivojne, mirovniške platforme ali celo kot posredniki v razreševanju vojnih konfliktov? Jim plemenitejši cilj že sam po sebi zagotavlja kredibilnost, odmevnost in torej tudi vplivnost?
- Ali postajamo gledalci podob vojne skozi zgodovinsko izkušnjo in s čedalje kompleksnejšo teoretsko refleksijo bolj pismeni in bolje informirani? Nas tehnološki razvoj in paradigmatska transformacija, ki jo poganja, delata bolj kritično angažirane ali bolj otopele, bolj empatične ali bolj apatične?
- Kakšna je vloga umetnosti v sodobni poplavi podob vojne? Je prostor umetniške refleksije zadnje prizorišče pristnega stika s človeško tragedijo, ki jo neizbežna hiperprodukcija dnevnoinformativnih vsebin hočeš nočeš dehumanizira?
