Lecture. Migration and Visual Cultures: Methodological reflections and strategies.


During the last week of April 2021, prof. Kevin Smets gave a lecture as part of the Lecture Series organized by the European Network for Cinema and Media Studies (NECS). The lecture series was co-organized by Giuseppe Fidotta (Concordia University), Mara Mattoscio (“Gabriele d’Annunzio” University of Pescara), and Dalila Missero (Oxford Brookes University), with the support of NECS and the Centre for Research in the Arts at Oxford Brookes. The aim of these series was to address relevant issues on media and migration through the analysis of different subtopcis and concepts in the field. To this end, leading scholars on diaspora, migrant audiences, digital technologies and border regimes or postcolonialism and gender presented their research in order to explore different perspectives and cases to enrich theoretical and empirical research.

Prof. Kevin Smets dedicated his lecture to methodological approaches on media and migration. Through a range of methodological reflections, he intended to analyse the development of visual and participatory research on migration. He also discussed selected methodological aspects of the Reel Borders project.

The session took place online at Zoom platform at 18h CET. More information is also available here.
