[Commlist] Workshop : History of Digital Media and Digital Media Historiography (ECREA Communication History Section)

*A ECREA Communication History Section Workshop, co-sponsored by the ICA 
Communication History Division*

*History of Digital Media and Digital Media Historiography*

2-4 February 2022, Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH 
<https://www.c2dh.uni.lu/>), University of Luxembourg

The digital turn has had a transformative effect on all media, and it 
has also influenced the way in which media and communication history is 
shaped, written and disseminated.

For this workshop, the ECREA Communication History Section called for 
scholarly presentations that shed light on changes and continuities in 
the process of digitalisation, both now and in the past, or that explore 
historical practices, with the aim of providing a new perspective on 
media and communication studies and historiography in the digital age.

The goal is to improve our understanding of the transition to digital 
technologies in various media (e.g. computerisation in media devices, 
digital production and practices, hybrid broadcasting or online 
switching), the overlaps between analogue and digital and the various 
issues raised by this transition, and the challenges, patterns, 
adaptations and controversies that have emerged during the process. The 
legacies of analogue and past models in current digital practices are 
also crucial if we are to understand the media response to the emergence 
of digitalisation. Finally, the way in which these changes have affected 
and transformed the work of media and communication historians is also a 
central theme of the workshop. We will also explore the way in which 
media and communication historiography has adapted, integrated, 
questioned and analysed media history in recent decades as a result of 
digital technologies, whether digitised or born-digital sources, 
databases, the “data deluge”, computational methods and new digital 
narratives.

*Our confirmed keynote speakers for this workshop are: *

  * Claude Mussou (National Audiovisual Institute (INA), France) on the
    INA’s digitized and “augmented” archive
  * Niels Brügger (Aarhus University, Denmark) on “Media Events: Dayan &
    Katz Revisited in the Light of Digital Media”

*Special hands-on sessions and training***

The local host (C2DH) will also organise some hands-on sessions related 
to digital tools and methods during the workshop, on topics such as 
digitised press, Zotero, etc.
