Digital Heritage Scholars and Experts from Archives will discuss "The Many Lives of Europe's Audiovisual Heritage Online" during this one-day symposium, organized by Utrecht University's Centre for Television in Transition and the Netherlands Institute of Sound and Vision in collaboration with DARIAH-EU and DARIAH-NL.ArgumentDuring the past decade, a massive body of European audiovisual heritage has become accessible online: on video sharing sites and websites of archives, or through initiatives such as EUscreen.eu and Europeana.eu . Once online, audiovisual heritage circulates in diverse ways: users watch, share, like, or dislike it; they comment, appropriate, and download videos for remix and recirculation. It thus becomes part of the popular consumption of history, potentially creating new interpretations of heritage materials, challenging authorised perspectives. Heritage institutions perceive the consequences of the recent technological transformations of the sector as a major challenge and opportunity. Nevertheless, urgent questions regarding the circulation of audiovisual heritage online remain unanswered:How do strategies of curation shape the appropriation of digitized heritage?How does digitisation and online circulation of audiovisual heritage affect the mission, role, and structure heritage institutions, as well as their relationships with media producers and publics?How can audiovisual archives better foster the re-use of Europe&#8217;s audiovisual heritage?(How) do digital curation and other appropriations of audiovisual heritage create new perspectives on European history and identity do ?How does online circulation of audiovisual heritage alter the power relationships between amateur and professional historians in a public history environment, potentially blurring the boundaries between authorised and popular visions of European history?What new tools and methods do we need to analyse the circulation of audiovisual heritage online, and how have traditional methods to be adapted for this aim?To discuss these challenges, Utrecht University's Centre of Television in Transition in collaboration with The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision and CLARIAH-EU and CLARIAH-NL organizes a one day symposium on May 16th, 2018.Confirmed participants include Jerome Bourdon, Professor at the Department of Communication, Tel Aviv University; Andreas Fickers, Professor for Contemporary and Digital History and Director of the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History; Prof. Dr. Sonja de Leeuw, Utrecht University; Johan Oomen, Head of Research and Development at Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision; Julia Noordegraaf, Professor of Digital Heritage at the University of Amsterdam; and Pelle Snickars, Professor of Media and Communication Studies and affiliated to the HUMlab Research Centre of Ume&#229; University, Sweden.Programme10:00 Registration, coffee and thee10:15 Welcome &#38; opening &#8211; Frank Kessler, Eggo M&#252;ller, Utrecht University10:30-12:00 Theme 1: The Meaning of Audiovisual HeritageChair: Judith Keilbach, Utrecht UniversityThe Media Scholar as Storyteller: Working with Digitized Audiovisual Sources, Berber Hagedoorn, University of GroningenRe-envisioning Radio, Re-sounding Worlds: Lost and Found in the Radio Garden, Alec Badenoch, Free University Amsterdam &#38; Utrecht University&#8216;Failed Interviews&#8217;: Doing Television History With Women, Dana Mustata, University of GroningenTelevision as Good Archival Object, Jerome Bourdon, Tel Aviv University12:00-13:00 Lunch13:00-14:30 Theme 2: Online Circulation and Digital MethodsChair: John Ellis, Royal Holloway LondonAudiovisual Digital Methods: The Case of Spotify, Pelle Snickars, Umea UniversityNew Approaches Towards Accessing Digital Audiovisual Heritage: What Will EUscreen Look Like in the Future?, Johan Oomen, Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, HilversumResearching Television History Online: An Archaeological Approach to the CLARIAH Media Suite, Julia Noordegraaf, University of AmsterdamTools for Reflection: Working with Audiovisual Data in the Classroom, Jasmijn Van Gorp, Utrecht University14:30-14:45 Coffee/thee break14:45-15:30: Screening &#38; Closing WordsOn the Road Again: An Experimental Media Archeology Journey to the Origins of Transnational TV in Europe, Andreas Fickers &#38; Andy O&#8217;Dwyer, Centre for Contemporary and Digital History, University of LuxembourgClosing Words, Eggo M&#252;ller, Utrecht University15:30-16:00 Transfer to University Hall, Domplein 29, 3512 JE Utrecht16:15&#160; Farewell speech Sonja de Leeuw17:00 Reception
