ECAH/LibEuro/EuroMedia/EuroFilm 2014 Programme Cover Image:“St Peter’s Church” by Jim Haldane

St Peter’s Church stands on an island between the Lewes and London roads, on the edge of North Laine, anddominates the entrance to Brighton & Hove. It is not an ancient church but it is very beautiful. The foundationstone was laid in 1824, during the reign of George IV, when it became clear that the medieval parish church of
St Nicholas was too small for the growing population of Brighton.
A competition to design a new parish church was won by the young Charles Barry, the architect who later
designed the Houses of Parliament. He took as his inspiration the vast, late 14th century choir of York Minster.
St Peter’s became one of the first and finest examples of Gothic revival in England and was officially opened in1828.
(the Friends of St Peter’s, 2008)

welcome to brighton
Dear Delegates,
Welcome to the UK and to the wonderful city of Brighton and Hove, a vibrant and diverse center of the arts and culture, as
well as home to two universities. Welcome also to the conference home of the International Academic Forum’s European
Conference Series.
An IAFOR conference is an international, interdisciplinary, intercultural and inter-professional event that invites academics,
practitioners, scholars and researchers from around the world to meet, network, share intellectual developments, explore
challenges to dominant paradigms, and exchange ideas in a supportive environment.

IAFOR provides an international academic forum that encourages the development of collaborative links and connections
between researchers, academics, scholars and practitioners, and I strongly encourage your active and open-minded engagementwith the conference over this long weekend together.
These joint conferences are held as part of the four interdisciplinary weekends for IAFOR in the UK around the theme of“Individual, Community, Society: Conflict, Resolution and Synergy”, and the conference theme of this joint event is an importantand timely one, as we look at conflicts within and between individuals, communities and societies, as well as possible resolutions
and synergies.
The programme promises to be exciting, with thematic topics that address the central aim of the conference in different but
complementary ways, including through papers that draw on empirical research, that develop theoretical and conceptual
insights, and that engage with the conference from varied research approaches.
The conference will be enhanced through its wide variety of presenters, who will draw on their diverse experiences andknowledges, and on their academic, personal and geographical contexts, in a programme that promises stimulating discussion,
intellectual discovery, and the excitement of multidisciplinary research synergies across the Arts, Humanities, Literature, Mediaand Film.
I would like to thank the conference chairs and the keynote and featured speakers, as well as each and every delegate, and I
look forward to meeting you all.

Conference Chairs,
Keynote Speakers&
Featured Speakers

Lord Charles Bruce

ecah 2014
keynote speaker

Chairman of the Patrons of the National Galleries of Scotland

Lord Charles Bruce is a member of the International Advisory Council of IAFOR. He has studied at the Universityof St Andrews, where he received an MA in Economic History; and at the University of Dundee, where he received
an MSc in Spatial Planning and Sustainable Urban Design. He manages a family estate in Scotland which includes aninternationally significant collection of private papers relating to British diplomatic history in SE Asia. He is descended
from James Bruce, 8th Earl of Elgin, a British proconsul who served in China and Japan and negotiated the Treaties ofTientsin and Edo in 1858, and the Treaty of Peking in 1860; and ended his career as Viceroy of India.
Lord Charles Bruce has maintained his family’s connections with Japan and India. He is Hon. Patron of the Japan
Society of Scotland, Patron of the Scottish Centre of Tagore Studies at Edinburgh Napier University, and Chairman of
the Kolkata Scottish Heritage Trust. In 2008 he represented the City of Edinburgh at the Kolkata International Book
Festival and has since helped to strengthen cultural relations between Scotland, West Bengal and Bangladesh. He iscurrently participating in a joint research programme, Narratives of Migration and Exchange, led by the University of
St Andrews and Presidency University, Kolkata.
In 2009 he represented the UK at the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations with Japan as the guest of theGovernor of Kanagawa Prefecture, and subsequently has spoken regularly on the close ties which emerged between
Meji Japan and Scotland in the nineteenth century. In 2010 he gave the keynote address at the IAFOR conference
on the Arts and Humanities in Osaka. In 2012 he gave the keynote address at an international symposium organisedby the University of Edinburgh and the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation, Cultural Policy and Creative Industries inJapan and Scotland.
Keynote Presentation: In Between The Occident And The Orient.
This presentation will address the conference theme by tracing the encounters of Europeans and Asians in thenineteenth and early twentieth centuries during the colonial period. Concentrating mainly on the movement of people
and ideas between Scotland and Japan - from the earliest moment of diplomatic activity in 1858 - the presentationconsiders the part played by individuals cast in the role of transnationals. Operating at the edge of their known worlds
they nevertheless acted critically as agents of change and their actions augmented the cross-cultural flow of ideas thatshaped the modern world.

Keynote Presentation
Friday, July 18, 201409:15-10:00
Renaissance Suitexv

The role of artists in the translocation of ideas during this period is particularly evident, as the presentation
demonstrates. By appropriating and re-contextualizing traditional art forms gathered from other places, they wereable to reinterpret their own cultural identity and thereby make a profound impact on their national consciousness.
David Hume reminds us that “The minds of men are mirrors to one another...only in so far as they are accompanied
by a reflection, of which custom renders us insensible”.

Svetlana Ter-Minasova

Moscow State University, Russia

Keynote Presentation: The Influence of National Classical Literature on Moulding National Identity
An intense interest in national identity is a paradoxical but an utterly human reaction to globalization.
This talk will consider the role of national literature in shaping and preserving national identity with Russian classicalliterature as a source material. The word “classical” is pivotal here because it implies that a work of literature has beenread and acknowledged by many generations of the nation despite changes in their way of living, culture, ideology, andworld outlook – inevitable in the course of history.

libeuro 2014
keynote speaker

Professor Svetlana Ter-Minasova is President of the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Area Studies at Lomonosov
Moscow State University, Russia, and Professor Emeritus in the University. She is President of the National Association
for Applied Linguistics (NAAL), Chair of the Russian Ministry of Education’s Foreign Language Research andMethodology Council, and President and founder of both the National Society for English Language Teachers in Russia,
and the National Association of Applied Linguistics. She holds the Lomonosov Award for teaching achievements,
Fulbright’s 50th Anniversary Award, and was named Doctor Honoris Causa by the University of Birmingham in theUK, the State University of New York (SUNY) in the USA, and the Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University, in Armenia.

Consequently, it is classical literature, among other factors, that moulds a nation, its identity, character and culture.
Therefore it may serve as a key to a magic door behind which the nation’s enigmatic soul dwells because all differencesof national identities are obscure and mysterious to other nations. The reason for this is ethnocentrism, i.e. perceptionof one’s own culture as the only right, acceptable and standard one. It causes hostility, xenophobia and aggression thus
threatening humanity.
The best way to ensure a peaceful life on the Earth is to give the right for self-identity to all nations. We should be
grateful to that national literature which stops the word and the hand threatening other peoples.
The main questions discussed are:To what extent can national classical literature be regarded as a source and a pivot of national identity?
Why do some greatest Russian national classics (like Pushkin, Lermontov) not become international ones
(like Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov)?

11:15-12:00

Mass media is seen in nearly every facet of our daily lives and technology is constantly altering the way we live.
The technology boom that has been felt around the world has forever changed communication as we know it andhas greatly impacted our personal and professional lives. From how we eat to how we travel and work to how weentertain ourselves, technology has become an integral part of our day. Advancements in devices, apps, and software
have given us the ability to communicate with people and access media anywhere, all of the time. However, the aspectof our lives that has been most impacted is likely the way we communicate with one another. These changes havebeen for both better and worse, but have unequivocally impacted the way we interact with the people in our lives.

Keynote Speech: Eloquent Antagonisms: Portraying the Individual in Conflict with Communal Identity Designs in
Latin American Film Narratives.

Renaissance Suitexix

In groups that occupy an extensive geographical space, communal identity patterns can only survive and function if
they are preserved and transmitted through wide-ranging mass media instruments.This implies continuous instruction
on the identity’s attributes and a conditioning of disposition, interpretation and analysis in its members. Besides theemotional subtexts at work, identity provides an intelligible shape to reality and serves to justify actions that individuals
might take in their interaction with others. Occasionally, the logic of identitary constructs is rejected by individuals that
seek to open new ontological paths, who are willing to disregard communal directives in order to think and act outside
the confinement of identitary structures. With their actions, essential schema of group cohesion may be questioned
and the fundamental regionality of categorization may be exposed. The depiction of the conflict generated by theactions of such nonconformists in film narratives is a complicated one. In most cases, the tragedy of defeat, of lostcauses, makes the characters that personify nonconformity sympathetic, but it does not invalidate the basic criteria thatorganize communal identity. I argue in this presentation that this state of affairs began to change when, in Latin America,
groups that had been traditionally marginalized by identitary logic began gaining access to consumer goods, making
politicians and producers of cultural objects ever more sympathetic to their views. I’ll analyze and give specifics of thepressures to which identitary patterns were subjected as a result, with the anxiety and sense of social disarticulationthese changes produced.

Daniel Parkes

Parkes Productions, UK

Dr. Rowlins has held various teaching positions in Europe, America and Japan before joining the faculty of the
Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences at the Singapore University of Technology and Design. In his current research,
he is exploring connections between Asia and Europe, examining if the new availability and accessibility offilmmaking technology has led to a rebirth of youthful film productions comparable to the new waves of the 1960s.
Dr. Rowlins is Editor-in-Chief of the IAFOR Journal of Media, Communication and Film.
Born in Christchurch, New Zealand, Daniel Parkes has been making films since the age of 15, an early success beinga 30 second cat food commercial that went on to win a prize on TV3’s Worlds Most Wanted Ads television program.
A graduate of Brighton Film School, he has achieved both commercial and critical acclaim. A short film, A.T.M.
(2005) made it into the top ten international short films of the year. A.R.P (2006), a short film about an air raid
warden during the Second World War, was developed into an educational pack used in schools throughout
the south east of England. His feature film debut, Ambleton Delight (2009) went on to win Best Feature Filmat the British Independent Film Festival 2010, Best Actor (Jos Lawton) in a Leading Role at the InternationalFilmmaker Festival 2009 and Best UK Feature Film at The End of the Pier International Film Festival 2009.

featured presenterJames Rowlins left his native England to begin his academic life in Paris, France, where he gained a heightened
appreciation, not just of French cuisine, but literary romanticism, realism, existentialism and French cinema, inparticular the New Wave movement of the 1960s. Dr. Rowlins’ passion for visual culture subsequently took him to
the bright lights of Los Angeles, where he earned a doctorate at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

Daniel is currently a managing director of a production company that creates high quality corporate films for clients
ranging from Google and Thomson Reuters to Bank of America. He guest lectures on filmmaking at Brighton Film School.
Special Featured Event: Screening of Quadrophenia (Roddam, 1979)
This movie about youth, alienation and revolt is both hard-hitting and “cool,” and one of Brighton’s most iconic
films with extensive scenes filmed in the South Laines, Sea Front and Beachy Head. Set against the backdropof The Who’s concept album “Quadrophenia,” Sting (Ace Face), Phil Daniels (Jimmy) and Ray Winstone(Kevin) battle it out as Mods and Rockers during a 1960s August bank holiday like no other. The narrative
revolves around Jimmy – an angry young man who despairs of his dead-end job and conformist parents,
yet who finds solace and meaning in the Mod subculture (sharp suits, scooters, pills, nightclubs). However, aftera series of violent encounters on and off the road, Jimmy’s life spirals into isolation, paranoia and disillusionment.
Q & A with Conference Delegates & Brighton Filmmakers
Topics for Discussion:• Legacy of 1960s Counter Culture and British Cinema• Proliferation of 1960s Period Dramas• Iconic Film Images of Brighton• Representations of Youth Culture and Alienation• Representations of Protest, Anarchy and Violence• Conflict between the Individual and Social Self

Creative Coalition Screen Production as a Bridge between the Emerging Image-Based Scholarship and Conventional
Scholarship Conventions
Josko Petkovic, Murdoch University, Australia

spotlight presentations

About the Presenter: Associate Professor Josko Petkovic is director of the Murdoch University-based National
Academy of Screen and Sound (NASS) Research Centre and a former president of Australian Screen Production
Education and Research Association, the peak academic body for Australian film schools. Recently, Professor Petkovic
has been the project leader for the sector wide Innovation and Development Project, which worked to develop a
collaborative national postgraduate research program for 22 Australian film schools. From 2009 to 2011 Professor
Petkovic was also the project leader for the ALTC funded Priority Assessment project, another sector wide initiative,
which assessed graduate outputs in 19 Australian Film Schools. Professor Petkovic has been an active filmmaker for overthirty years. During this time he has written, directed and produced a series of innovative films. He is the co-convenor
and co-editor of IM: Interactive Media, a refereed e-journal.
Abstract: With the explosion of image-users in cyberspace the influence of mediated images on the way we think,teach, learn, work and research has become unavoidable and self-evident: image-making is almost inseparable fromadvances in cyber-technology, cyber-connectivity, cyber-networks, cyber-collaboration and cyber-communities. Imagemaking is likely to be the core focus of an expanding number of educational and research projects across many
disciplines. To achieve the full potential of this emerging paradigm of scholarship it will be necessary to address a rangeof conceptual problems that distinguishes thinking and learning with images from thinking and learning with words andlanguage. In many respects the two mediums today represent two different epistemologies operating on two logicalsystems – one that is linear (like the unfolding of a sentence) and the other “diagrammatic” and multidimensional (likea picture). The difference between these two systems of communication is still not clearly understood by the wider
academia, which for the most part continues to operate on the conventional linear (language-qua-language) paradigmof scholarship. In this narrow perspective the emerging image-based scholarship is often considered as affect-based,subjective, logically diffused, sensual and “artistic” and dismissed for these reasons.
For academia to fully engage with the emerging paradigm of “diagrammatic” scholarship it will need to shift fromthe positivist foundations on which it presently rests and seriously explore the life-like, affect-based, multifaceted,collaborative and practice-based foundation of knowledge associated with images. The present paper seeks to build
bridges between the emerging image-based (practice-based) scholarship and the existing scholarship conventions.

Digital Divides? The UK Film Council and Digital Strategy
Raymond Boyle, University of Glasgow, UK
About the Presenter: Raymond Boyle graduated in Media Studies and History from the University of Ulster andcompleted an MA by research in the School of Communications at Dublin City University. He worked for three years
in the Communication Studies Department at Glasgow Caledonian University before joining Stirling University. He
moved to CCPR in January 2007.
Current research projects include investigating the impact of digitisation and copyright on the sports media market;
a study of the UK Film Council; sports journalism and coverage of the 2012 London Olympics and examining thechanging relationship between factual television and representations of the world of business and finance.
Abstract: This article examines the role that digitisation and its wider ramification across the film industry’s patterns
of production, distribution and exhibition played in both the strategic thinking and operational practice of the UK Film
Council (UKFC) during its lifetime (2000 – 2011). Drawing on original empirical research carried out as part of an
AHRC funded study what we are interested in here is mapping out the extent to which strategic thinking specificallyaround the impact of digital technology informed the direction and role that the UKFC took in engaging with what, in
retrospect were industry changing processes. Was the UKFC too slow to identify the transformative impact that digital
would have on all areas of the film industry? To what extent where its interventions around production and distribution
and exhibition successful in achieving what they initially set out to deliver? Did the UKFC enable the film industry in
the UK to fully address both the challenges and opportunities that the transformation to a digital environment posedover the period of its lifetime?

Room: Tennyson
Contemporary Japanese Defence Strategy: Towards Conflict or Resolution?
Craig Mark, Kwansei Gakuin University, Japan
About the Presenter: Craig Mark is an Associate Professor in the School of International Studies at Kwansei Gakuin
University, Japan, a post he has held since 2012. He also teaches in the School of Law and Politics. His main areas ofteaching and research are in Foreign Policy, International Security, and Australian Politics. Previously he was a lecturer inInternational and Australian Politics at both Macquarie University and the University of New South Wales. Dr. Mark is
the author of The Causes of Intrastate War and Blainey’s Hypothesis: Contemporary Issues in Australian Politics Reader. He
is also a contributor to The Conversation, IAFOR’s Eye Magazine and Business Spectator.
Abstract: Japanese defence policy under the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) government of Prime Minister Shinzo
Abe is accelerating its post-Cold War shift in direction. From a Cold War strategy of anti-Soviet ‘Northern’ defence,
Japanese strategy is increasingly towards a ‘southwest’ approach, to potentially deter China, particularly following theincrease in tensions over the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands. Concerns also remain over a potential missile threat
from North Korea.

Japan’s recent defence policy also involves easing restrictions on defence equipment exports, and developing ahigher level of security collaboration with the UK, among other EU and NATO countries, as well as among ASEAN.
Most controversially, the Abe LDP government plans to reinterpret the constitution, to allow Japan to participate in‘collective self-defence’ with allied or friendly states.
This could be the intermediary step towards eventually abolishing the pacifist Article 9 clause of the constitution. The
LDP government claims this will allow Japan to make a greater contribution to international security; however, there
are concerns this will only threaten to worsen geostrategic tensions in the region.

Saturday Spotlight Workshop I (13:45-14:45)

Toward a Re-distribution of the Sensuous in the Social Sciences
Martin Wood, RMIT University, Australia
About the Presenter: Martin Wood coordinates the Arts of Design and Management Research cluster in the Centre
for Sustainable Organisations and Work. In the past, he has served at leading public research universities in the UK.
As a novice filmmaker, he is interested in the possibilities for research that screen media offer. In 2010, his short
documentary film Lines of Flight (2009) won awards at film festivals internationally.

spotlight presentations

This change was encapsulated in the LDP’s 2013 National Security Strategy. As well as an increase in defence spending,
directed largely towards increasing maritime forces and amphibious strike capacity, a National Security Council has
been established. Labelled ‘Proactive Pacifism’ by Abe, this policy shift has the general support of Japan’s key ally, theUnited States, as it supports the US ‘Pivot’ – a rebalancing of its maritime forces towards the Asia-Pacific region.

About the Workshop: While today’s digital cultures simultaneously urge and allow for new social science researchmethods in terms of data gathering and analysis (e.g. audio-visual ethnography with affordable cameras), the media ofpresenting and distributing research outcomes remains largely reduced to aesthetics of the written word (e.g. journal
articles and books). This workshop probes into the absence of screen media research accounts (e.g. documentaries,
video-essays, embedded videos) in social science journal articles in particular and, perhaps, academic journal articles
in general.
This workshop will:• Provide participants with provocations to stimulate debate on approaches to achieving audio-visual researchoutcomes in the academic social sciences• Engage participants in discussing the meaning and value of audio-visual research accounts in a social science context• Engage small groups in exploring issues requiring study, analysis and engagement in this context

IAFORThe International Academic Forum
Academic Vision and Mission“To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions”
The vision of IAFOR grew out of the perceived need to fill a vacuum in the communication and exchange activities of the academic
world. Its mission arose out of examining that space and investigating why it existed. The vacuum existed because of the lack ofopportunity for serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the global business community, and practitioners
in the fields of human endeavor that linked these groups together. In the field of education, for example, we have academic theorists,
educational managers (political decision-makers and organizational directors) and classroom teachers with their support staff in IT,
library work, exchange programs, and specialist fields. But how often do they have the opportunity to interact?
Moving beyond one particular field, larger questions arise. What function should universities prioritize in the 21st century? What
do businesses see as their contribution to social and global well being? How can people on the ground, trying to implement
improvements that will transform human life, best be supported? And perhaps above all, what are the agendas that will drive
mechanisms to enable these groups to interact effectively.
One piece of distilled thought that came from early exchanges at one of our conferences was the recognition that some of therhetoric of concern about the problems of developing nations was perhaps over-focused on the term “poverty” because it can be
defined only in a relative way. “Hunger” was put forward as being more immediate and itself a contributory factor to poverty, rather
than the other way round. One key to the hunger issue could be the provision of safe drinking water, or water for irrigation in somecontexts, while flood management might be necessary elsewhere. These, in and by themselves become valuable only insofar as they
help to relieve hunger in specific contexts.
IAFOR is affording opportunities that do not exist elsewhere. The base is Osaka, Japan’s great commercial and manufacturing hub,
one symbol of the emerging Pacific economy that is already eclipsing the long dominant Atlantic zone. Our conferences present
those taking part with three unique dimensions of experience. First of all, it encourages interdisciplinary activity to be expanded.
Depending on the field, this can face varying degrees of difficulty, ranging from discouragement to downright prohibition. Those
overly dependent on fixed academic structures often see lateral thinking as a threat. None of these negatives apply in IAFOR. Its
purpose is to generate new approaches that cross any disciplinary lines. The principle employed is to let the imagination permit
intuitive responses to questions. There are no panels of critics. There are simply people who want to listen and reflect. The model ofacademic work as potholing is replaced by the metaphor of mountaineering. While respecting the need for solid and well-founded
academic work, we feel the need to go beyond it from time to time to discover fresh approaches to old questions.
Secondly, it facilitates the heightening of intercultural awareness. Again, we encourage innovation through cross-cultural perception.
Cultural roots influence people in their attitudes more than most would realize or admit. The need to see and internalize insights
gained from other viewpoints is met by a process of steady illumination.
Thirdly, it promotes the broadening of international exchange. We may live in a globalized world, but in reality parochialism still holds
sway. The collapse of the U.S.S.R and the break-up of Yugoslavia led to the re-establishment of numerous former countries. While
this may be desirable for the peoples concerned, it merely adds to the world’s cultural confusion. Exchange leads to explanation andthat helps the growth of intercultural awareness.
IAFOR makes all of these developments possible in one gathering. Our conferences are not a substitute for specialist conferences.
We intend our events to be an alternative that functions as a balance or even a corrective to the extreme tendencies that can arise
from more narrowly defined research parameters. In short, IAFOR is promoting and facilitating a new multifaceted approach to oneof the core issues of our time, namely globalization and its many forms of growth and expansion. Awareness of how it cuts acrossthe worlds of business, and academia, along with its impact on societies and institutions is one of the driving forces that has given
the organization its momentum, and is making it a pioneer in this global age.

to make all of our published materials available online.
Journals FAQ

IAFOR’s Open AccessPublishing Committment
IAFOR is committed to providing
ALL of its publications in online form
for no fee.
Researchers and scholars, regardlessof institutional affiliation and status,
can access our academic journals,
monographs, magazine, conferencematerials and special publications
for no charge, wherever there isinternet access.
IAFOR will never ask authors tocontribute towards publication costs,
or engage in other such publishingpractices which we believe
undermine academic independence
and integrity.

How are journal editors appointed?
Journal Editors are appointed by the International Academic Forum’s leadership, under the guidanceof the Chairman of the International Advisory Board. The term of appointment is for one issue, tobe renewed by mutual consent.
How do we ensure academic integrity?
Once appointed, the editor is free to appoint his or her own editorial team and advisory members.
All papers published in the journal have been subjected to the rigorous and accepted processesof academic peer review. Neither editors nor members of the editorial team are remunerated fortheir work. Authors will never be asked to “contribute” towards publication costs.
How are papers selected?
Journal Editors may accept papers through an open call, and proposed articles may be sent directly
to the respective editors. A small number of papers from the associated IAFOR conference
proceedings may also be selected by the journal editor(s) for reworking and revising subject tonormal processes of review. It is expected that between 5 and 10 percent of papers included inany given conference proceedings will be developed for inclusion in the associated conference
journal.
How are IAFOR Journals related to IAFOR conferences?
IAFOR’s journals reflect the interdisciplinary and international nature of our conferences andare organized thematically. Papers included in the associated conference proceedings may beconsidered for reworking by the editor(s), and would then be subjected to the same processes ofpeer review as papers submitted by other means.

IAFOR Keynotes
The IAFOR Keynotes Series is a collection of keynote addresses, or associated papers given at
our conferences. Presented as a part of the open research archive, the Keynotes series provides
an example of the range and quality of speakers at IAFOR events. These keynotes are lightly
reworked, and contain references, but are otherwise true to the original address. Many can also
be seen in video format on our YouTube page. Whether you were present at the conferenceor not, the keynotes are thoughtful addresses by senior academics, the content of which may
help your research.

Special Series & Monographs
The International Academic Forum is publishing a number of special
monographs in print and online form. One such publication is aselection of haiku from the Annual Vladimir Devidé Haiku Award.
