In recent days, with the advent of digital technologies that trigger and depend on media convergence, it has become indisputable that film is inherently intermedial, giving scope for reconsidering film history in light of the medium&#8217;s moving, all- encompassing form. As Alain Badiou summarises, it is impossible to think cinema outside of a general space made of its connections to the other arts. He says: &#8216;Cinema is the seventh art in a very particular sense. It does not add itself to the other six while remaining on the same level as them. Rather, it implies them &#8211; cinema is the &#8220;plus-one&#8221; of the arts. It operates on the other arts, using them as its starting point, in a movement that subtracts them from themselves&#8217; (2005: 79). This conference will build on such an understanding by investigating the ways in which intermediality, rather than obstructing, enhances film&#8217;s artistic endeavour. More pointedly, it will ask: how can intermediality help us to understand the history of cinema as a whole?<\/p>\n<p>Broadly speaking, &#8216;intermediality&#8217; refers to the interbreeding of artistic and technical medial forms. The uses of the term hark back to the 1960s and Higgins (1966; 1981),who applied it to an array of countercultural artistic phenomena of the time. Through the years, the concept has evolved to encompass an &#8216;inflation&#8217; of definitions (Peth\u00f6 2010), which concur in the celebration of &#8216;hybridisation&#8217;, &#8216;transnationalism&#8217;, &#8216;multiculturalism&#8217; and cross-fertilisations of all sorts. As for cinema, intermediality has gained prominence among other more established approaches, such as comparative, intertextual, adaptation and genre-based studies, for its wider premise that keeps the interrogation into the properties of the medium constantly on the critic&#8217;s horizon (Rajewsky 2010). This conference will look at medial interstices, intercultural encounters and creative clashes where the specificities of cinema are questioned and re-fertilised into new forms. Its ultimate aim will be to stimulate an overarching exploration of and theorising on the uses of intermediality as a historiographic method.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-468 \" src=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/intermidia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/06\/RGB-Portrait-1.gif\" alt=\"Arts &amp; Humanities Research Council\" width=\"157\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Support:<\/strong>\u00a0AHRC, FAPESP, University of Reading.<\/p>\n<p>The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funds world-class, independent researchers in a wide range of subjects: ancient history, modern dance, archaeology, digital content, philosophy, English literature, design, the creative and performing arts, and much more.
