| Popis | The application provides a decentralized perspective on the dense web of ties untangled around film production-, distribution-, or screenings-related agency. The project raised essential issues that had to be „solved“, and which are always open for farther exploration: what kind of data are we able collect and present? What kind (and amount) of ties can we (re)construct between the data? How far it is necessary – and beneficial – to structure and filter the available data? Presentation of data as a network, in contrast to the timeline view, imposes an achronological perspective that ignores the issues of succession and „influence“: with many drawbacks, as well as with plenty of beneficial effects. While the timeline provides a tool for a macro-perspective on the film studio and its history, it is the unlimited network of ties which presents an alternative to descriptive and statistical use of databases claiming “completeness” of data. Such “methodological un-methodicalness” open the door for a microhistory of cinema culture-related agency. |
