[Commlist] cfp A Media History in n+1 Sources

*A Media History in n+1 Sources, 23-24 November 2023, University of 
Basel (Switzerland)*

For the third meeting of /Media History | CH, /the research network for 
media historians and media scholars, curators, and archivists in 
Switzerland, we call for contributions that exemplify the variety of 
historical sources used for doing media history.

Written sources, photographs, and other still images, as well as 
audiovisual materials are at the core of historical media research. This 
two-day workshop aims to gather and discuss sources used in research 
projects in Swiss universities or dealing with Swiss media to share 
methodological insights, provide practical tools, and discuss 
difficulties related to archival access and preservation. More 
specifically, each participant is invited to:

1.     “Bring” her/his source, if possible, in its original material 
dimension

2.     Explain and discuss the source in elevator pitch style (max. 7’)

3.     Make clear which are the stories that can be told thanks to the 
source

4.     Conclude with one methodological / archival question in relation 
to the source

We invite scholars, archivists, and curators to submit a 100 word 
abstract with the source they want to discuss and addressing the 4 
points mentioned above. The abstracts should be sent to 
(annekatrin.weber /at/ unibas.ch) <mailto:(annekatrin.weber /at/ unibas.ch)> by 10 
September 2023**and notifications of acceptance will be sent out by 29 
September 2023.

Keynote on Thursday 23 November: Friedrich Balke (Ruhr-Universität 
Bochum) on “Death ships. The dark side of the oceanic turn”.

The workshop is the annual meeting of /Media History | CH/, a research 
network for media historians in Switzerland which brings together 
scholars from different fields with research interests in media history, 
archivists, and curators from museums to advance the study of media 
history in Switzerland (for more information: https://mediahistory.ch/
