| MCM 1204K - From Analog to Analogue: Digitality and Ephemerality in Audiovisual Archives |
|
This seminar explores histories of moving image and sound archives in relation to social movements, technological change, and philosophies of cultural memory and value that dictate the content of archives and shape perceptions of their use value. We begin by exploring archives as physical entities (buildings), structures of information (catalogs, databases, finding aids) and arbiters of meaning (collections). We also consider enterprises that increasingly present themselves as archives of our contemporary selves and collective existence: Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, YouTube, Twitter. As well as exploring these issues historically and theoretically, we will visit local archives and engage in hands on activities.
