ARA © video-library
1) Acronym for “Audiovisual Research Archives”
2) The ARA is the general video-library of the ARA Program. This video-library
broadcasts around 5,500 hours of (online) videos in about fifteen languages. The
authors and directors of this collection form an “international community” of around
2,500 researchers, teachers, intellectuals, artists, politicians, journalists,
professionals… working in some 85 countries around the world.
3) The ARA documents the main parts of research in human and social sciences.
It also encompasses recordings of cultural and educational performances
(exhibitions, concerts, lectures, etc.), audiovisual documentations of field research
(on European emigration, the victims of the Latin American dictatorships, traditional
food preparation, etc.) as well as reports and documentary films.
4) The audiovisual collection is composed on the one hand of productions
created by ESCoM, 2001-2009 (and, at a much slower rate, from 2009 up to the
present day) and on the other, audiovisual contributions belonging to other French
and foreign institutions and/or to particular active researchers.
5) The URL of the official site of the ARA video library - available in eight
languages - is: http://www.archivesaudiovisualles.fr/FR/.
