Objectives
Objectives
This curricular unit aims to achieve two learning macro-objectives. First, the students will acquire a better understanding of the origins of audiovisual archives and the preservation practices of filmic artefacts. This historical knowledge will be complemented by the ability to critically interpret the sociocultural values involved in the specific configurations assumed by audiovisual archives over time. Second, students will acquire skills to better interpret the complex political, economic, and cultural problematics affecting the management of audiovisual archives. In addition, these skills will entail the capability of formulating informed, critical, and creative proposals to address contradictions in contemporary archival contexts.
