Animating the Archive: Research and the Videographic Essay
\nWednesday 27 May 2026
\nCIPPM \/ Bournemouth University (<\/strong>EB708 Lecture Theatre)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bournemouth University\u2019s Centre for Intellectual Property Policy & Management<\/a> (CIPPM) will host a one-day research event exploring the growing role of videographic methods in activating archival materials across disciplines, publics, and legal contexts.<\/p>\n

Videographic essays, research outputs that think through<\/em> audiovisual form, have become an established method in film and media studies, but their potential reaches far beyond the discipline. This research day brings together scholars working with archives, found footage, heritage collections, and public-domain materials to consider how videographic approaches can generate new research questions, forms of public engagement, and interdisciplinary collaboration.<\/p>\n

Programme overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part 1: Method and Literacy (10:00\u201311:30)<\/strong>, in-person only<\/p>\n

Professor John Gibbs<\/a> (University of Reading) will introduce videographic essays as a research method, asking what they do differently from text-based scholarship. He will highlight a curated set of examples from film and media studies, and practice-based work. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A.<\/p>\n

Part 2: Public Engagement and Intellectual Property (12:00\u201313:30)<\/strong>, hybrid<\/p>\n

The day\u2019s public seminar will take the form of a curated conversation between CIPPM\u2019s Claudy Op den Kamp<\/a> and Professor John Gibbs<\/a> (University of Reading). Topics will include archival reuse, videographic scholarship as public-facing research, and the legal and ethical constraints that shape creative practice. Short clips from different disciplinary contexts will illustrate the discussion, followed by a Q&A with both in-person and online audiences.<\/p>\n

Part 3: Transferability and Collaboration (14:30\u201316:00)<\/strong>, in-person only<\/p>\n

The event\u2019s final session explores the transferability of videographic methods across shared research problems. These include health, cognition, and memory; visual culture and material history; and law, policy, and public knowledge. Discussion will focus on how videographic approaches might travel across disciplines. What kinds of collaboration or funding could they support? Which research questions would benefit from future hands-on experimentation?<\/p>\n

Practical information<\/strong><\/p>\n

In-person attendance<\/strong>
\nThe event is free to attend, and will take place at Bournemouth University\u2019s Executive Business Centre<\/a>, in short walking distance from Bournemouth train station.
