OriginalCopy. Practices of the Secondary

Conference of the
Center for Cultural Research
"Media and Cultural Communication"
University of Cologne, 22-24 May 2003

Changes of copyright are supposed to not only regulate problems of
authorship and access authorisation, but also to govern practices of
copying and quoting in an intermedial manner appropriate to the
(digital) state of the art.

Objections to this kind of measure would probably argue that the
borderline separating the original from its blueprint has long been
blurred by Derrida, according to whom we are in the first place
situated within citation.

An objection that can hardly be contradicted, considering the debate
on performativity and iteration which has been open within cultural
studies since the 1990s.  Yet even within that debate numerous
approaches operating with categories like authenticity and originality
can be found: by supposing, for example, a sign integrity resistant to
meanders of context and medium, or by arguing towards the notion of a
body whose involuntary actions serve as an instance of
irreproducibility.

This conference will focus on different citation techniques,
i.e. cultural- and media-specific norms and conventions guiding
adoption and alienation: How is the supposed 'identical' determined
and defined? How is it legitimated and authorised?  Are there cultural
practices which undermine oppositions like primary/secondary,
incident/iteration and original/blueprint?  To what extent is
coherence, be it with regard to texts or even to cultures as a whole,
constituted by structures of iteration/repetition such as recurrence,
series or rhythm? What would be valid criteria with which to establish
the kinds of cultural context, to legitimise the claim to
'originality' or 'possession' in the first place? And given the
globalisation of production processes, what role is left for local
conditions which guide processes of adoption? Based on the break
digital reproducibility has meant to the history of media, the
conference would like to analyse from a juridical, economical,
aesthetic and semiotic point of view whether and to what extent
'Practices of the Secondary' depend on cultural and medial
parameters.

Conceptual contributions are as welcome as material-based articles
dealing with medial techniques such as citation, iteration,
paraphrase, imitation or copy, all of which are either aiming at - or
undermining - the status of non-authenticity or derivation.  Possible
fields of research could be: sampling, remix and cover-versions in
popular music, picture-citations, cinematic remakes, quotations of
gesture and in sign-language, electronic text processing (copy and
paste), multi-media based techniques of copying in the internet,
narrative and dialogical methods of iteration. Last but not least,
questions concerning science itself are also of interest and could,
for example, focus on the relation of personal contribution to
citation or self-quotation.

Abstracts (max. 3000 characters) of 30min talks must be submitted by
the 10th of December 2002 and should be sent to the following
address:
