The European Journalism Observatory (EJO) has published a new article by Štěpán Šanda examining the growing use of audiovisual and film essays as academic research formats. The article examines how sound and image can serve as analytical tools, offering alternative ways to produce and communicate scholarly knowledge.
As part of this discussion, MeDeMAP’s recent film essay AGON: Constructions of Democracy is highlighted as an example of the academic potential of audiovisual essays. The inclusion of AGON reinforces MeDeMAP’s commitment to innovative, critical, and interdisciplinary approaches to studying media and democratic processes.
The EJO article contributes to broader debates on methodological innovation in academia, particularly within media and communication studies, and underscores the relevance of audiovisual research practices in rethinking how democratic narratives are explored and shared.
