[ecrea] Digital/Social Media and Memory: A Symposium
Fri Mar 08 09:35:59 GMT 2013
Does promiscuous media make for promiscuous memory? Even the
sciences-of-the-mind increasingly search for cognition – the mental
process of awareness, perception, remembering – outside of the head,
extended and distributed across digital/social worlds. Memory is
breaking out of the archive, the organization, the institution,
increasingly diffused across brains, bodies, and personal and public
lives. Has the digital leached away scarcity, trust, obligation, and
much of memory’s former faithful companions? ‘Memory’ today seems
different, strange, but which has also acquired (paradoxically) new
force and new uncertainties.
Is connectivity irresistible? Is memory lost to the machine? Is the
archive broken?
Six leading experts in the fields of media archaeology, media studies
and memory studies assess the emergent forces of remembering and
forgetting in the new media ecology:
Wolfgang Ernst, Humboldt University, Berlin.
Jussi Parikka, Winchester School of Art
Wulf Kansteiner, Binghamton SUNY
José van Dijck, University of Amsterdam
Anna Reading, King's College London
William Merrin, Swansea University
