Filming and Performing Renaissance History, 1500-1660

该网络将把已经在研究或有兴趣探索跨流派、文化和学科之间文艺复兴历史表现的个人和团体聚集在一起。集中于所有类型的电影和表演的例子，这个网络将调查的语料库（如历史电影，电视时期的戏剧，电视历史，主题博物馆展览，重演的经验和历史上的戏剧和歌剧）。拟议的活动将由一个构想广泛的指导小组在两年期间进行监督。将有三个专题讨论会：“玩家和人物”探讨所有类型的历史人物和团体，无论是著名的还是日常的，融入代表性可见性的方式的重要性。《代表冲突：危机与国家》评估了人们对1500年至1660年无数次竞争的想象方式的重要性。《时间性与物质性》评估了时间边界和物质对象继续被重建的方式的重要性。这三个专题讨论会都包括指定的研究生会议。英国莎士比亚协会的女王会议将主持该网络的闭幕活动——一场论文小组讨论和圆桌讨论——将在国际背景下概述该项目的发现。网络的中心目标是将来自不同学科背景（包括文学研究、电影、电视、历史、戏剧和戏剧）的个人和团体聚集在一起。将鼓励已成立的学术代表、从业者（例如戏剧导演、电影制作人、纪录片制作人和电视委托编辑）和博物馆官员和策展人之间的对话。这里的目的是通过会议和交流，真正跨学科地理解“文艺复兴”这一历史现象是如何表现的，以及这种现象是如何随着时间、地点和表达方式的变化而变化的。特别要注意的是，语境和政治对艺术家和制作人的影响，以及视觉解释的波动美学。该网络将培养一种新的跨学科方法，汇集多种观点，将努力提供一种更慷慨和细致入微的方式，以承认“文艺复兴”跨越学科的意义，以及与整个事件和人物的关系。以这种方式看待文艺复兴，不仅会让人敏锐地意识到大众意识中解释早期现代时期的手段，还会让人意识到各种学科的方法和方法的实用性。贝尔法斯特女王大学的物质资源、蓬勃发展的研究生群体和正在进行的相关研究为这类工作提供了一个接受和便利的环境。当地的背景包括肯尼斯布拉纳档案，主要图书馆的文艺复兴时期电影和戏剧收藏，以及阿尔斯特博物馆广受赞誉的无敌舰队收藏。此外，女王大学的文艺复兴领域在内部和外部合作方面有着出色的出版记录：已经有三本共同编辑的书籍（其中两本以视觉媒体为中心），最近，一本基于非常成功的跨学科文艺复兴硕士课程的畅销教科书。这种至关重要的研究文化为网络发展提供了一个坚实的基础和鼓舞人心的环境，并且在指定的时间框架之外，将确保未来的可持续性。

The network will bring together individuals and groups already addressing or interested in exploring representations of Renaissance history across and between genres, cultures and disciplines. Concentrating on all types of filmic and performative examples, this network will investigate the corpus of (presentations of the years between 1500 and 1660 (such as the history film, the television period drama, television history, themed museum exhibition, re-enactment experience and historically-situated theatre and opera). The proposed activities will be overseen by a broadly conceived steering group over a period of two years. There will be three symposia: "Players and Personalities' explores the significance of the ways in which all types of historical figures and groupings, celebrated and every day, merge into representational visibility. 'Representing Conflict: Crisis and Nation 'assesses the significance of the ways in which the myriad contests of 1500 to 1660 have been imaginatively envisaged. Temporalities and Materiality's' assesses the significance of the ways in which temporal boundaries and material objects continue to be reconstructed. All three symposia include designated postgraduate sessions. The Queen's meeting of the British Shakespeare Association will host the network's closing event - a panel of papers and a roundtable discussion - which will profile the project's findings in an international context. The central aim of the networks to bring together individuals and groups from a range of disciplinary backgrounds (including literary studies, film, television, history, theatre and drama). Conversations will be encouraged between established academic representatives, practitioners (for instance, theatre directors, filmmakers, documentary makers and television commissioning editors) and museum officers and curators. The purpose here is to arrive, through meetings and exchange, at a genuinely interdisciplinary understanding of how the historical phenomenon known as the 'Renaissance' is represented and of how this changes in the light of time, place and mode of expression. In particular, attention will t>e paid to the contextual and political influences on artists and producers, and to the fluctuating aesthetics of visual interpretation. The network will foster a new interdisciplinary methodology which, pooling multiple perspectives, will work to provide a more generous and nuanced acknowledgement of the ways in which the 'Renaissance' signifies across disciplines and in relation to a whole gamut of events and personalities. Accessing the Renaissance in this fashion will generate a keen awareness not only of the means whereby the early modem period is interpreted in the popular consciousness, but also of the utility of the various disciplines' approaches and methodologies. Queen's University, Belfast, with its material resources, thriving postgraduate body, and on-going related research offers a receptive and facilitative context for work of this kind. Local contexts include the Kenneth Branagh Archive, the Main Library's extensive Renaissance film and theatre holdings and the Ulster Museum's acclaimed Armada collections. Moreover, the Renaissance area at Queen's has an outstanding record of internal and external collaboration leading to publication: there have been three co-edited volumes (two of which are centred on visual media) and, more recently, a best-selling textbook based around a highly successful interdisciplinary Renaissance M.A. programme. This vital research culture provides a well-rooted base and encouraging environment for network development and, beyond the designated timeframe, will ensure future sustainability.
