Madness & media
Today we had an excellent symposium on Madness & Media at the Institute of Sound & Vision in Hilversum, organised by Sound & Vision, TMG (journal of media history), and GBG (History, Sound and Vision). Fascinating talks, images and film clips by the presenters Gemma Blok, Bas Agterberg, Patricia Pisters, Jennifer Kanary, and Henk Maurits, and an inspiring discussion with the presenters plus Peter Koehler. Chair was Bregt Lameris, with whom I also launched the new issue of TMG on Madness & Media. It was also my farewell of the magazine’s editorial board, after 10 years of service.
