The aim of the HoMER 2023 conference, “Opening(s): Rethinking Centres and Peripheries in Historical Research about Moviegoing, Exhibition and Reception”, is to expand the academic field of new cinema history to a multiplicity of perspectives by encouraging a better comprehension of the dynamics between centres and peripheries. Scholars of historical research of moviegoing, exhibition and reception are invited to examine relations of power between ‘margins’ and ‘core’, between peripheries and metropoles. The key concept, ‘Opening(s)’ prompts us to ask what defines the relations of and for social, cultural, economic, and political power in new cinema history research and what are the implications of rethinking its peripheries and centres? ‘Opening(s)’ can involve exploring geographical, social, cultural, and linguistic positionings, borders, boundaries, and relations.
The conference is hosted by the HoMER-network in collaboration with the Research Group "NAREDERES (Narratives of Resistance) - Department of Cultural Industries TecnoCampus and Örebro University.
Event Timing: July 4th-7th, 2023 including a workshop on July 4th
