Archeology and Digital Media":


Media Archeology and Digital Media

Udine, Italy, 2.-3. April 2014

Call for Papers

As part of the bigger investigation undertaken by XXI Udine Conference 
around the subject of Media Archeology as a pioneering media approach 
which reconsiders each medium’s identity as part of a network of media 
discourses, we would like to ask graduates and postgraduates to share 
their perspective on the relationship between history and digital media 
culture regarding the concepts of “document,” “archive,” “cartography” 
.In the media-archaeological perspective materiality is considered as 
opening to a “hardware” history of media in which technologies, devices, 
tools and physical structures represent theoretical premises for a new 
genealogy of historicity. How can these concepts be read as devices and 
technologies of inscription within the realm of digital culture and new 
media? How can we relate (or set against) a narrative, canonical 
historiographical writing (or a post-modern historiography) with 
anti-narrative, hardware oriented historical approaches? Furthermore, 
how can new media art be considered as an “alternative” history writing? 
What are the tools that can be investigated as tools of historical 
inscriptions and fields of identity negotiation with the media within 
the new media landscape?

Doctoral candidates and early-career researchers are invited to submit 
proposals for contributions addressing these and related topics, 
including, but not limited to:

* Materiality and History: How are digital media changing our perception 
of History?
* Temporality: What new forms of archeological work do digital media 
require?
* History writing: What new narratives can be observed especially in 
relation to the internet?
* Experience: How does our access and thus the production of media change

Submissions deadline: 15th February 2014

Please address abstracts (300-500 words) along with institutional 
affiliation and brief biographical note to: (graduates /at/ necs.org). 
Notification will follow shortly thereafter.
