„Distant viewing”: o nouă paradigmă de cercetare în film și media
"Distant Viewing": A New Paradigm of Research in Film and Media

Summary/Abstract: The following proposal aims at configuring the first local systematic study dedicated to exploratory research methods that employ data mining on cinematographic cultural production. More to the point, the present research intends to analyze the main directions in the field of Digital Humanities in relation to film studies, as well as the ways in which the theoretical models belonging to the digital sphere can relate to other issues pertaining to this scientific field (gender studies, visual cultural studies, literary studies etc.). Thus, the paper will address the theoretical, analytical and historiographic changes, as well as the interpretive positions that underpin “distant” paradigms in media and film studies. At the same time, through this inquiry into the latest methodological developments, the study wishes to argue for a theoretical and methodological update in the fields of Romanian film and media studies, which have benefited far less from the most recent changes coming from the domain of Digital Humanities.
