EPoD: bringing together OA research outputs with a traditional publication
[edit]Summary of the case study and link
[edit]The case study explores the results of the research project EPoD – esthétiques politiques du don au Palais des Nations, and focuses on its various outputs. The entire body of data produced by the research team includes video and audio materials, in various forms and stages of editing, texts, photographs, and installations. How and whether these materials will be made accessible to the public is still an ongoing conversation. The publication brings together on the one hand, photographs taken at the Palais des Nations in Geneva between October 2020 and January 2021 as part of the EPoD research project and, on the other hand, contributions by various authors who produced texts based on specific collections from the League of Nations archives – with a particular focus on the gifts made by member states to help decorate the Palais des Nations after its construction. The publication aims to explore the relationship between diplomatic language, political interest, and the incoming aesthetic of the gifts to the Palais des Nations.

Outcome
[edit]- Research outputs: the project produces an array of outputs of different format and open access status. The book At Your Earliest Convenience: Institutional Memory: Politics of the Gift at the Palais des Nations was published in 2023, by EDHEA and edition fink. The book is not released in open access. It can be accessed on ArODES. Articles appeared on various academic publications. In some case, e.g. Federica Martini's 'Ways of (Not) Seeing: the Blind Spots in the Photographic Archive' in Blackout Magazine, Issue No.2, 2021, the articles are accessible online for free but are not compliant with the open access requirements as not released with an open licence.
