"Mediehistoriska perspektiv på bildband, stillfilm och andra projicerade bilder i Europa 1945–1995"

I dagens mediekultur framstår digitala projektorer och mjukvara så som PowerPoint och Keynote som självklara inom undervisning, akademi och affärsvärlden – men dessa teknologier har äldre analoga föregångare som sällan uppmärksammats inom mediehistorisk forskning.

På detta internationella symposium analyseras analoga former av bildprojektion, så som diabilder, bildband och stillfilm under efterkrigstiden i Europa. Genom att analysera dessa medier och de syften de användes för bidrar symposiet till den projicerade stillbildens outforskade mediehistoria, samt till en fördjupad historisk förståelse av dagens digitala mediekultur. Symposiet samlar forskare och praktiker inom kulturarvssektorn från ett tiotal europeiska länder. 

Symposiet är finansierat av Riksbankens jubileumsfond och arrangeras av Erik Florin Persson (Linnéuniversitet), Lars Diurlin (Linnéuniversitet) och Ole Johnny Fossås (NTNU, Trondheim) i samarbete med Institutionen för mediestudier, Stockholms universitet.
