Feminist Media Production in Europe (funded by FWF 2008-2011)

Women have always played an important role in movements for social justice. Using media to transport their messages, to disrupt social orders and to spin novel social processes, feminists have long recognized the importance of self-managed media. In the past two decades an increasing number of women have taken the tools of media production into their hands; a vital social phenomenon that has gone largely undetected by members of the public, academia, and even sometimes the feminist movement.

creating a nexus between activism and the arts. Melanie Manos in Conversation with Deb King.

Topic: 
Activism
Art

Melanie Manos' performance work has romped on the tightrope between absurdity and solemnity since the late 1990s, giving a view into the tension between the individual and the exigencies of modern society. Whether through the Beckettian work of unending circularity with MBC partner Sarah Buckius, physically demanding minimalist body sculptures or the recent narrative-based work performed at Marygrove College in Detroit, Manos reminds me that performance is at its core political.

Im Fokus: "Migration & Medien"
www.migrazine.at

Seit einiger Zeit kommt Bewegung in die hiesige Medienlandschaft: Mehrheits-Medien und die Kommunikationswissenschaft entdecken die Migrant_innen neu - als Produzent_innen und Konsument_innen von medialen Inhalten. Zugleich wächst auch das Interesse an Medien von und für Migrant_innen, nicht zuletzt aus ökonomischen Gründen. Ein Themenschwerpunkt über die Möglichkeiten der medialen Selbstrepräsentation für Migrant_innen und die Sackgassen der Diversitätslogik im Medien-Mainstream.

Movement Politics: The Revolution Is Longer Than We Think (Event Oct 30th, 2010; VBKÖ Vienna)

Teaser Image: 

We http://www.vbkoe.org have recently engaged with the defining, positioning and constructing levels of the notion of a "women's movement." We problematized the non-naming of the first, feminist artist women's movements within history-writing.

In "Movement Politics. The Revolution Is Longer Than We Think," we further expand these analyses within an art historical, collective and activist context. We decipher their new potentials for feminist forms of action. We will carry that out through critical interview material and virtual conversations with the following participants:
