participants in the 2003 Summer Academy, to be held in Berlin,

seminar, followed by a week-long international conference (conducted in English), which brings 
together prominent researchers with student participants. Topics will include: screen science 
before cinema from the 17th to the early 19th century (interactions between projection techniques 
and the natural sciences; the cult of demonstration and showmanship in the Enlightenment; the 
impact of projection techniques on conceptions of demonstration and evidence); the art and 
science of panoramas in the 19th century (optical technologies of panoramic presentation; 
science, especially popular science, presented through panoramas; spatio-temporal effects of 
panoramic presentation); minds, brains, and spectators (relations between cinema and the brain 
and mind sciences in the 1920s; how psychophysiological and psychiatric theories were 
transferred into film); how documentary film might adva!
nce the
ways in which the practices of contemporary science are pictured and conceptualized."
