This collaborative builds on its members’ transnational expertise on minor media to devise a conceptual framework for discussing subaltern stories from social margins. Using Saidiya Hartman's concept of critical fabulation, this collaborative imagines new kinds of narrative and archive that authorize modes of production and representation in contemporary digital and community-based media as well as unappreciated film footage from the past. Integrating our disciplinary lenses on media and moving toward a public intellectual framework, we envision a range of events that can consolidate a community of engagement with marginalized media. The collaborative will host screenings, discussions, producer talks, and academic forums on media excluded from national archives in Italy, the UAE, and the U.S. How might our transnational approach illuminate the meaning of media for marginalized communities and point to a new kind of media archive?
