The MEDIA 2007 Development Call for Proposals is online available at:
http://ec.europa.eu/comm/avpolicy/media/devel_en.html

Project-development funding (available for feature films, documentaries,
animation and multi media) under the MEDIA programme is designed to meet the
needs of two types of production company:

* medium-sized companies with previous international experience and
sufficient financial capacity to take on several projects at the same time.
Such companies can apply for slate funding (i.e. for a package of
productions).

* smaller companies, with limited financial capacity, seeking to develop a
single project. These companies can apply for two types of funding:
1. individual projects.
2. new talent - for projects for which the company participated in a
training activity funded by MEDIA  in the three years before the call for
proposals.

Deadlines:

12 February 2007 for /_New Talent (for projects for which the company
participated in a training activity -like sagas or sagasnet - funded by
MEDIA.)

and

16 April 2007 for /_Single Project and /_Slate funding.

CONFERENCE: "THE PRAGUE SCHOOL AND THEORIES OF STRUCTURE" 
Department of English and American Studies, Faculty of Arts,
Charles University, Prague 18-21 October 2007
 
Call for Papers
 
The theme of the conference goes back to the structural concept of the
language system developed by the Prague School. The papers are
expected:
1. to reassess the theoretical work of Prague structuralists
(especially Bohumil Trnka and René Wellek) and its relevance for
contemporary research, and;
 
2. to discuss transformations of structuralist approaches in recent and
contemporary theories of structures and systems, characterized by the
movement away from the models of homogeneous, hierarchized and
centralized structures to concepts of structurality based on
dehierarchized assemblages, transversal relations and dynamic semantic
situations (Einstein, Dewey, Bateson, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida, Deleuze,
etc.).
The conference will have two sections and will conclude with the first
annual Prague colloquium on "Frontiers of Theory: Technicity, Art and
the New Media" (Saturday 20 October 2007):
 
*Section 1: Theories of Structure and their Transformations
Suggested problem areas:
1. Prague Structuralism in relation to other structuralist and
formalist trends (Saussure, Peirce, New Criticism, cultural semiotics,
etc.)
2. The legacy of the Prague School and later theories of structures and
systems
3. Structuralist theories and methodologies in sciences and humanities
 
*Section 2: Prague Structuralism and Language Systems
Suggested Problem Areas:
1. The structural concept of the language system in contemporary
descriptions of English and its historical development
2. Interfacial aspects of the highest language level
 
*Frontiers of Theory: Technicity, Art and the New Media
Suggested Focus Areas:
1. Contemporary theories of technicity in relation to semiotics,
structuralism, cybernetics and deconstruction. How does "techhnicity"
make possible a new understanding of language systems in the
technosciences and the life sciences?
2. Technicity and contemporary culture, media and aesthetics (new
media, the internet, digitalisation, real-time communication and
transmission)?
