Publishedcorpus
1) All the audiovisual data which are available to a general or specific audience
in the form of a chosen
genre of publication
* (in the ARA program in the form of,
e.g. an event site, a themed folder, an interactive video-book, a bilingual folder,
etc.).
2) A functional distinction must be drawn between the
publication corpus
and
the published corpus. The publication corpus brings together all the audiovisual data
used as input for the process of publication via the ASW Publishing Workshop.
However, the publisher/author is free to choose, within the audiovisual publication
corpus, a given element that he/she really wants to publish, to the detriment of other
items which are publishable but are not chosen by the publisher/author. (However,
in another publishing process, the same publisher/author or another person taking on
this role may come back to the unpublished publishable items to create a new
publication with them…). The published corpus encompasses only those elements
which are in fact published online in the form of a given
publishinggenre*
.

Audiovisualdescription(Typeof-)
1) Audiovisual description is a specific type of description of an audiovisual
corpus which is mainly concerned with the visual, sound and audiovisual shots in an
audiovisual text, at the expense of its content. For example, it might look at the
different camera angles of a profilmic event, the different framing and
camera movements; it might also focus on the sound effects, the soundscapes typical
of a given type of scene (e.g. of given places or accompanying a certain social
practice, etc.). A systematic audiovisual description leads to what could be called a
library of
visual
and/or
acoustic
and/or
audiovisual motifs
, i.e. of sorts of recurring
stereotypes which characterize the writing of an audiovisual corpus.
2) This type of analysis must be distinguished from the
description of the
audiovisual
mise en scène
(or expression)
of a
subject,
which is a specific task
belonging to the thematic (content-based) type of analysis of an audiovisual text.
