Das neue Band der Open-Ac­cess-Buch­rei­he „Con­fi­gu­ra­ti­ons of Film“ Who Owns the Images? von Sylvie Lin­de­perg und Ania Sz­c­ze­pans­ka ist nun bei meson press frei er­hält­lich.

Di­gi­tiza­t­i­on car­ri­es the uto­pi­an pro­mi­se of ar­chi­val access un­li­mi­ted by cons­traints of space and time, and with it, of new forms of re­se­arch and his­to­rio­gra­phies. In rea­li­ty, di­gi­tal image ar­chi­ves pose a com­plex set of tech­ni­cal, legal, ethi­cal and me­tho­do­lo­gi­cal chal­len­ges, par­ti­cu­lar­ly for film and media stu­dies and ad­ja­cent fields. In a series of stu­dies and in­ter­views with prac­ti­tio­ners, scho­lars and theo­rists, this volume draws a de­tai­led map of these chal­len­ges and offers per­spec­tives for fur­ther re­se­arch and crea­ti­ve prac­tice.
