CROBORA

Crossing borders Archives.

The circulation of images of Europe.

about

CROBORA is a project led by Sic.Lab, at EUR CREATES, University of Côte d’Azur, funded by ANR (ANR-20-CE38-0002) from 2021 to 2024. CROBORA studies the circulation of stock shots in the media space. Digitization facilitates the flow of content across countries, cultural and technical contexts. These mediations act as borders in the migratory movement of content : they allow circulation but impose reshapings. CROBORA trace and analyze the re-use of audiovisual archives on television and on the web, focusing on content that speaks about European integration. The objective is to understand how circulation contributes to forging visual memories.
