Digital Audiovisual Archives

Today, huge quantities of digital audiovisual resources are already available – everywhere and at any time – through Web portals, online archives and libraries, and video blogs. One central question with respect to this huge amount of audiovisual data is how they can be used in specific (social, pedagogical, etc.) contexts and what are their potential interest for target groups (communities, professionals, students, researchers, etc.).This book examines the question of the (creative) exploitation of digital audiovisual archives from a theoretical, methodological, technical and practical point of view, especially in three main directions of work:- The repurposing and republishing of existing audiovisual data.- The building of community-centric audiovisual archives.- The use of digital social media and Web 2 technology for the diffusion and sharing of audiovisual content.This book presents a series of concrete examples of creative uses of digital audiovisual corpora for education, research and cultural heritage preservation and valorization.Content: Chapter 1 Analyzing an Audiovisual Corpus of A Thousand and One Nights (pages 3–20): Muriel ChemounyChapter 2 Analyzing a Corpus of Traditional Bread Making (pages 21–40): Elisabeth de PabloChapter 3 Republishing Audiovisual Resources (pages 41–60): Peter Stockinger and Elisabeth de PabloChapter 4 An Archive on The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Andean Populations In Peru And Bolivia (pages 63–104): Valerie Legrand?GalarzaChapter 5 An Audiovisual Azerbaijani Cultural Heritage Portal for Educational and Academic Use (pages 105–138): Aygun EyyubovaChapter 6 Academic Communication Via Facebook and Twitter (pages 141–168): Jirasri DeslisChapter 7 Uses for Digital Content Sharing Platforms (pages 169–188): Jirasri DeslisChapter 8 Uses for Content Aggregators and Community Networks (pages 189–208): Jirasri DeslisChapter 9 Tracing Video Usage: The Potential of VDI (pages 209–246): Francis Lemaitre and Valerie Legrand?Galarza
