Betreff: [ak-discourse] WG: Spatiality in the Audiovisual – ECR Networking Workshops – 5th March and 4th June 2022 – (AHRC Audiovisual Space)
As part of the AHRC funded project “Audiovisual Space: Recontextualising Sound / Image Media” we are hosting two Research Networking & Development events at the SOUND/IMAGE Research Group in Greenwich, inviting early career researchers and emerging scholars to share disciplinary perspectives on spatiality, stimulate interdisciplinary collaboration and seek to foster new research agendas on spatiality and practice.
We welcome expressions of interest from a diverse cross section of arts and humanities scholars, including (but not exclusively): composers, musicians, filmmakers, media theorists, scenographers, geographers, anthropologists, architects, curators, performance artists and scholars of critical theory.
These events will take place on:
- 5th March and 4th June 2022, in Greenwich, London.
Following the event, we will look to co-curate a peer reviewed publication (Special Journal Issue or Edited Volume) with contributions from participants.
As part of our support from the AHRC we have some available funding to contribute towards costs of participation (travel and accommodation).
Due to the ongoing pandemic, places at these events are limited to fifteen participants.
If you’d like to take part, in our events please complete our Expression of Interest form, before January 24th 2022:

WIDER CONTEXT
“Without space, no multiplicity; without multiplicity, no space” (Doreen Massey 2005: 9).
Spatial concepts embrace subjectivity, multiplicity, movement, haptics and tactility and afford the possibility of developing readings which frame our understandings, not in abstract conceptual terms, but in terms of embodied experience, movement and potentiality.
“Space occurs as the effect produced by the operations that orientate it, situate it, temporaries it and make it function in a polyvalent unity of conflictual programs or contractual proximities.” (Michel de Certeau 1984:117).
Space is not an objective external reality that exists but comes into being through the relations of objects and events. It is open to subjectivity because it accepts that all potentialities are real. It is open to practice because it is enacted. It is open to materiality because it is felt and experienced.
Therefore, spatial perspectives can release us from our obsession with externalised objectification, and open up new avenues for understanding practice as research.
We want to inspire new discussion and exchanges, to investigate the potential of spatial concepts to frame new ways of thinking about practice research and the media we work with.
KEY QUESTIONS
- How might spatial ideas enable significant new access to the tacit knowledges applied in creative practices?
- Can spatial frameworks stimulate effective knowledge exchange of practices between doing and theorising?
- How can spatial concepts be applied to benefit theoretical and practical understandings of practice as a form of research?
- How do different disciplines apply concepts of spatiality to frame and engage with their medium?
