Framings

En savoir plus sur le livre

This volume provides a comprehensive insight into recent inquiries into frames and framings, showcasing a wide range of research topics now available in English for the first time. The conference titled "Framings," held in Copenhagen from November 29 to December 2, 2013, was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Düsseldorf, the DNRF's Centre for Textile Research, and the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies at the University of Copenhagen. Its goal was to unite pioneering international research on frames developed over recent decades. The twenty-two essays included offer new perspectives on a field that has been largely overlooked despite its relevance. The volume is structured into four sections: Frames (Discreteness, Boundary, Exclusiveness), Frameworks (Medium, Continuity, Performativity), Framings (Visuality, Spatiality, Temporality), and Methodological Margins and Cultural [B]Orders. It traces the genealogy of the research topic, particularly in relation to significant initiatives in Düsseldorf and Copenhagen. Contributions come from various disciplines, including visual and cultural studies, film theory, semiotics, computer science, communication science, art history, media theory, literary studies, philosophy, and textile science, featuring both senior and emerging researchers from multiple countries.
