PAMODAJ Community

The name of the community indicates the project’s mission: We wander through the land rich in stories and collect those stories that have remained silent. There are no taboos; the stories are neither forgotten, nor the narrator is cursed. Yet there are not sufficient ways to express these stories. Hence they remain unspoken. The lacunae of silence that can not be filled even by the major publishing companies of the country will be bridged through people’s testimonies and oral micro-histories. By means of old (text, photography, film) and new media (web, multimedia), we will aid people of different age, gender, social status or cultural origin speak up; it is not our aim to criticize, ironize or problematize the current state of the world but rather reveal the models of remedies, possible solutions and creative ways of overcoming the negative effects of social reality. We travel around the world and hope to meet people who greet us: “Pamodaj!“ that is „The blessing be on you!”. And we reply: “Pamodaj to you, too!”

Our goals

Our main goal is to associate professionals (mainly social scientists, film makers, visual artists,  designers, I.T. and marketing specialists) and other enthusiastic individuals whose pursuit is dedicated to one of these three areas:

1.

social and psychological research: study of social inequalities and the ways they are expressed in a particular community and context; development of visual social studies (visual anthropology, visual sociology, cognitive sciences) and digital humanities; adjacent publication and translation activities as well as consulting.

audiovisual media: development, implementation, production, and distribution of audiovisual, digital and design projects; development of cultural activities related to audiovisual media; education and research in audiovisual culture.

2.

3.

applied science: social research and audiovisual approach are combined with the aim to improve human condition and life in communities. Social responsibility and ethic are priorities of our interdisciplinary projects.
