Launch of SLICE website

Since the very beginnings of SLICE, it has been the plan to establish a website that we could all refer to when we make our efforts to raise money for SLICE-related investigations. Finally, this summer we have launched a SLICE website located at https://lanchart.hum.ku.dk/slice/. We are still improving on it and updating the information.

The website has an entrance to a SLICE Newsletters Archive. Some of the texts that have been produced for various applications have before been distributed as attachments to Newsletters. If you want to refer to these texts in your own applications for local funding of SLICE-related investigations, you will find  links to them if you scroll through the newsletters.

Online “Working Papers from SLICE”

In connection with the launching of the website, we (Jacob, Nik, Tore) have discussed the possibility of also launching a series of online “Working Papers from SLICE”. The series will be edited by us or other SLICE’rs who wish to participate. The series will not be formally peer-reviewed. They will, however, give members and non-members a chance of circulating their ideas in a relatively fast and informal medium. The working papers could accept both individual contributions, e.g. preprints, draft versions, project outlines, and thematic collections, e.g. conference or seminar proceedings.

If you have ideas for contributions to the Working Papers, individual papers or collections, contact Jacob (jthoegersen@hum.ku.dk). We are also playing with our own ideas for collections which we will let you know about soon.

LARM conference “Digital Archives, Audiovisual Media and Cultural Memory”

Jacob reminds us of the November conference organized by the LARM project which he participates in. The registration for the conference entitled Digital Archives, Audiovisual Media and Cultural Memory is open, and a preliminary program for the conference is now online. You will notice that one of the 7 themed panels is clearly Slice related, namely Panel 5 “Challenging the homogeneity of ’media language’”, and many of the other panels and papers should also be interesting to those interested in the cultural history of broadcast media. We hope to see many of you in Copenhagen come November.
