he CÉRIUM, in collaboration with the Centre de recherches intermédiales sur les arts, lettres et techniques de l'Université de Montréal (CRIalt) and the international partnership cinEXmedia, is organizing a summer school entitled Politiques des archives visuelles : intermédialité, décolonialité et création, from June 1 to 6, 2026, at the MIL campus of the Université de Montréal. This is a unique opportunity to examine the different forms and uses of archival images, the role of the technologies mobilized for their conception, and the role of the institutions in which they are embedded (archives, museums, cinemas, courts, universities, etc.). A full description, timetable and details of how to take part are available on the CÉRIUM website.
The CÉRIUM summer school Politiques des archives visuelles : intermédialité, décolonialité et création will focus on the interest of a decolonial approach to archives.
To achieve this, we will interpret different types of visual archives from an intermedial and decolonial perspective, that is, by questioning the links between the different forms and uses of archival images, the role of the technologies mobilized for their conception and that of the institutions within which they are inscribed (archives, museum, cinema, court, university, etc.). In addition to intermediality, which remains the main focus of the summer school, several other approaches will be mobilized, ranging from indigenous studies to anthropology, film and photographic studies, as well as digital humanities and audiovisual preservation.
To bring this reflection to fruition, various guest speakers will present case studies taking into account several historical, geographical (Quebec, USA, Belgium) and cultural (aboriginal/non-aboriginal in Canada) contexts, leading us to highlight the political dimension of this subject.
