第一期“中国早期电影研究工作坊”（1897-1937）
近年来以“重写电影史”为号召，中国早期电影研究异彩纷呈、成果丰硕。通史与专门史研究共同繁荣，注重史料的微观史与注重史论结合的中层研究并重，在拓宽早期电影研究视野的同时，将电影史的整体重建引向纵深。为推进学术研究持续发展，浙大宁波理工学院华莱坞与全球传播研究所与岭南大学电影与创意产业研究中心将于10月至11月间共同举办“中国早期电影研究工作坊”。本次工作坊聚焦1897年至1937年间的中国电影史，不设主题。我们欢迎从研究问题出发并以史料为基础的实证研究。
工作坊注重推动相互讨论的学术风气。除设立议题讨论环节外，还将特别聘请早期电影史研究专家进行点评和指导。本次拟邀请的点评专家包括：丁亚平（中国传媒大学教授）、李道新（北京大学教授）、石川（上海戏剧学院教授）、叶月瑜（岭南大学讲座教授）和陈建华（复旦大学教授）。
本工作坊以线上形式举行，不设线下会场。

Globalizing and Enhancing the Media History Digital Library
This project will make significant contributions to the field of film history and, more broadly, the digital humanities. Currently, over 10,000 users each month visit the Media History Digital Library’s (MHDL) collections of open access books and magazines about film and broadcasting. This project will expand the number of users and deepen their level of engagement. By implementing a new database and interface, users will be able to contribute tags and metadata that generate new knowledge and improve the MHDL’s searchability. This ability for users to contribute information and collaborate with one another is especially significant for the study of film, a domain in which professional scholars and passionate movie fans possess complementary forms of expertise. As a result, this project will contribute to the broader field of the digital humanities by modeling how academic and fan communities can share knowledge in a way that improves a digital project’s usability and searchability. Additionally, this grant project will enhance the global scope of the MHDL.
Currently, the MHDL’s 2 million page collection consists almost entirely of US publications. This limits the collection’s research potential for the study of national cinemas and the transnational exchange of films. To address these gaps, we are creating the Global Cinema History Task Force, a group of nine experts who will investigate the locations and copyright statuses of key global film publications, then digitize texts that are identified as out-of-copyright. Along with expanding access to more international film publications, the Task Force will develop a set of recommendations for other digital projects that seek to study 20th century culture while complying with international copyright laws. Therefore, this project will make a significant contribution to the digital humanities through documenting effective, ethical, and legal means of digitizing publications in different national and cultural contexts.
Key Deliverables and Goals
- Implement a new centralized database and data model to store all the metadata
- Develop an improved user interface with a more integrated and cohesive online experience
- Globalize the collection to enhance the study of national cinemas and the transnational exchange of films and filmmakers
