Director of CoDE to talk on media archaeology at University of Bedfordshire
Date: 5 May 2010
Time: 13.00
Venue: Room A107, University of Bedfordshire
Dr Jussi Parikka will give an invited talk at the research seminar within the Research Institute of Media, Arts and Design. Parikka will talk on the topic of "Media Archaeology and New Media Studies". The talk introduces themes from a book Parikka is working on now, on Media Archaeology (Polity Press, 2012). In addition, the co-edited volume (with Erkki Huhtamo) on Media Archaeologies is forthcoming from University of California Press.
Abstract:
This talk introduces key points about the emerging theoretical and methodological framework of "media archaeology". It discusses its roots in theories of visual culture and birth as part of the new media boom of the 1980s and especially 1990s. What the talk argues is that media archaeology needs to redevelop itself not only as a textual method, but also as a practical engagement with contemporary technical media cultures. It needs to develop its relations with such new fields of media studies as software studies, and hence update its agenda from the primarily reliance on visual media to a variety of other modalities of media sensation and logic.
