Conceptualisation of Change
English
Czech Republic
The film provides a theoretical reflection on the signifier “change” and its five dimensions: Normativity, Scale and Intensity, Focus, Control and Time. Filmed in Prague, with the integration of archive material mostly related to the 1989 Velvet Revolution, the essay sets out to unpack the significatory complexity of change. The film’s five chapters organize a dialogue between fast-paced and still poetic imaginaries and voice-overs. Analytically and methodologically, the film uses a post-structuralist paradigm to assist theory formation, grounded in, and combined with, an analysis of the content produced for the Mediating Change Colloquium, held in Prague on 20-21 November 2020.
