The Austrian Province as Subject and Space of Action in Educational Film Practices
Yazdanpanah, Marie-Noëlle (2023) , S. 1-41
The article traces the relationship of – urban – centre and province focusing on measures to anchor film as a teaching tool in the 1920s and 1930s: First, the centre’s cinematic view on the periphery is examined with the example of the film LIFE IN A BURGENLAND PEASANT VILLAGE (1925); secondly, the relationship between centre and province at the level of organisations and actors is investigated (concerning the negotiation of competences between institutional centre and independent local bodies and actors and reactions to deviant practices become apparent.) The implementation of educational film should be achieved with the help of teachers. Using the Burgenland-film as well as investigating activities of regional educational film organisations and independent foundings in Austrian provinces, this article will look at processes of negotiation and institutionalisation, focusing on the scope for action and eventual subversive practices.
