This is the final program of BRAFFTV International Conference 2014 held at the University of Toronto from October 23rd to 25th with the focus on Interactive Narratives, New Media and Social Engagement.
How has the digital screen changed our world in general and narrative and visual arts in particular?
The second edition of the BRAFFTV International Conference was organized by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Toronto and BRAFFTV – Brazilian Film & Television Festival of Toronto.
The prevalence of new interactive digital narrative in all areas from games, to literature, to films, to video art has resulted in new forms of storytelling and, accordingly, provoked new practices of reading that transforms readers/viewers into active collaborators.
Physical public space is increasingly being substituted or augmented by virtual space through digital screens (e.g. video, film, computer).
What effect do these new developments have on social space, seen here as encompassing both physical public spaces (streets, hotels, coffee shops) as well as virtual space (YouTube, Vine, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc.)?
How do these novel practices effect previously clearly demarcated frontiers between the public and the private? Throughout the world, from Brazil to Turkey to Canada, we have recently witness the influence of social media on political participation. How have these new platforms engendered innovative forms of expression?
