Join us for an immersive screening workshop with film and media scholar Professor Chang-Min Yu (National Taiwan University).
This workshop explores the vital role of moving image archives through a curated selection of documentary shorts and experimental films from and about Taiwan. Designed specifically for the needs of graduate students, the session will delve into archival methodologies in East Asian and global media, with a particular focus on the idea of "co-survivorship”—the material, ethical, and methodological bond between the scholar and their research materials. The workshop is organized into two parts: a screening of surviving archival films and footage introduced by Dr. Yu, followed by an open dialogue on the related themes of archival labor, media research ethics, and strategies for survival in graduate school.
Note: To foster an engaged dialogue and accommodate venue capacity, space is limited to 25 registered participants (RSVP required, link above)
Organizer: Belinda Qian He (East Asian Cinema and Media Studies, EALC; CEAPS)
Co-sponsors: Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies (CEAPS) and the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures (EALC)
