INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
The Construction of Media-Authorships: History – Present – Future June 2 – June 4, 2016, Philipps-Universität Marburg Organizers: Angela Krewani (Marburg University), Christiane Heibach (Regensburg University), Irene Schütze (Academy of Fine Arts, Mainz University) Location: Deutscher Sprachatlas, Pilgrimstein 16, 35037 Marburg, B 05, Room 00/0010 Website: www.uni-marburg.de/MediaAuthorships /Sampling, hacking, pirating, appropriating/ – these are only a few of the manifold creative techniques that are part of contemporary artistic practices. They are often inherently correlated to the use of digital and networked media. These practices put in question the traditional concept of art and literature as being a product created by identifiable, personal author-geniuses. Nevertheless, individual authorship is still the dominant concept in contemporary art production. Despite several obituaries (e.g. by Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault), the concept of the individual author never really died: artistic and literary practices self-mystified the author, even in fields which obviously rely on creative cooperations like film, theatre and multimedia installations. Taking this seeming contradiction into account, the conference turns both to historical as well as to current artistic practices within various media and fields of communication.
