3-5 September 2014, Bradford

An international conference on media archaeology organised by the
University of Bradford and the National Media Museum in association with
the Royal Television Society and Bradford City of Film.

The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers, archivists,
curators and artists working in the field that has become known as
"media archaeology": an approach that examines or reconsiders historical
media in order to illuminate, disrupt and challenge our understanding of
the present and future.

We are particularly interested in what media museums and their archives
can contribute to media archaeology.

Topics may include (but are not restricted to):

-    theories of media archaeology
-    media museums and media archives
-    new film history and its impact on film studies
-    radiophonics
-    remediation
-    photography and the archive
-    archaeologies of recorded sound
-    vintage computing
-    software studies
-    archaeology of computer and video games
-    media ecology
-    German media theory
-    media art and archaeology
-    variantology


The conference invites proposals for individual papers or panels;
individual papers should be twenty minutes in length. Proposals of 300 -
500 words should be submitted on the conference website:

The deadline for proposals is 6 June 2014.
