Archives-In-The-Making, Vulnerable Communities And Migration: Outreach And Innovative Scholarship In Audiovisual-Based Research Projects And Associations





L'Atalante Revista de Estudios Cinematográficos has published a discussion in its section (Dis)agreements in which Miguel Fernández Labayen and Elena Oroz reflect on the role of visual archives in migration research together with scholars from different international projects . The Reel Borders team took part in this discussion, highlighting the role of films in the production of migration archives.

Through different questions, Kevin Smets, Irene Gutiérrez, Lennart Soberon and Silvia Almenara-Niebla reflect on the main objectives of the project and the challenges associated to audiovisual research from theoretical and methodological perspectives. By working with participatory filmmaking, the Reel Borders project will hope to open up the concept of film archive in migration research as a way to challenge border narratives.
