“…The violence of collecting practices may occur at the most mundane level, with the “implementation of practices and procedures such as collecting, classifying, studying, cataloguing, and indexing” or even simply packing and transporting materials (Azoulay, 2019, 42, 76; Vogel and Bauche, 2016). Similar to the power and authority to create and maintain archives, the establishment of (authoritative) collections with a particular imposed order partakes of structural violence.…”

Practices of collecting have been integral to archaeology as well as to anthropology more generally since the inception of the disciplines. From the history of collecting in the later nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it is clear that although the degree of coercion varied, the practices of collecting inevitably took place in contexts of starkly unequal power relations and associated forms of violence. More than just the act of collecting, it is also the ways collections are handled, made available (or not), curated, and discarded that are imbued with different kinds of violence. This article draws on the case of human and other remains recovered in excavations on the campus of the Free University of Berlin (Germany) and examines the ways in which the amassing, use, and discard of collections are entwined with violent practices.

Desde la historia de la recolección a finales de los siglos XIX y XX, es claro que, aunque el grado de coerción varió, las prácticas de recolección inevitablemente se dieron en contextos de relaciones de poder inequívocamente desiguales y se asociaron a formas de violencia. Más que el simple acto de recolectar son también las formas en que las recolecciones fueron manejadas, puestas a disposición (o no), curadas y descartadas que están imbuidas de diferentes tipos de violencia. Este artículo se basa en el caso de los restos humanos y de otros restos recuperados en excavaciones en el campus de la Universidad Libre de Berlín (Alemania) y examina las formas en que la acumulación, el uso y el descarte de recolecciones están entrelazadas con prácticas violentas.

“…To approach knowledge circulations through this scientific film, we will draw, on the one hand, upon the literature about the circulation of things and their entanglement with knowledge (Bauche and Vogel 2016;Gugerli et al 2011;etc. ) while considering, on the other hand, the medium specificity of film; since film is not only a material object (as film reels, strips or celluloid) but also and foremost, a moving image when screened.…”

Cover layout: Maria Arndt, Bielefeld Cover illustration: Thomas Bachler, From Düsseldorf to Kassel, from the series Reise-tories: images sent to outer space. These include the Pioneer plaques from 1972 and 1973 (diagrams engraved into gold-anodized aluminium plaques that provide information about the origin of the spacecraft), the Golden Records carried by Voyagers 1 and 2 (both launched in 1977 and including, among other things, a collection of 115 images encoded into a video signal), and Trevor Paglen's art project The Last Pictures (2012). These images are designed to last for billions of years and to move not only in space but, more importantly, in time. Their materiality is therefore destined to resist transformations in transport, to avoid traces of travel. Tomáš Dvořák conceives these images as time capsules, whose trajectories call for a reconsideration of our anthropocentric media and image theories.

This introduction outlines the threefold contribution that this Focus section on research film offers. First, it introduces the vast collection of films from the former Institute for Scientific Film (Institut für den Wissenschaftlichen Film [IWF]), arguably the most ambitious endeavor ever undertaken to manage the distribution, production, and archiving of research films. At the same time, the institute's questionable roots in the National Socialist education system and in war research are addressed. Second, the introduction points out that the Focus section enters largely uncharted terrain in the history of research films. Third, it argues that a focus on the multiple reuses of research films, as this section attempts, not only suits the medium specificity of film but helps us to map the aesthetic, intermedial, and cultural-political practices of disseminating knowledge. In this vein, the organizers asked established scholars working on film and science to share with us a short story of a reused research film. Scott Curtis, Vinzenz Hediger, Anja Laukötter, and Hanna Rose Shell responded. Their contributions can be found in the supplementary materials to the online edition.
