*THE KEYWORD CONVERSATIONS | Culture, Space and Memory Research Group |
Department of Communication and Media | University of Liverpool*
//
THE//KEYWORD CONVERSATIONS/will involve 4 or 5 speakers in a
round-table-style setting, each presenting a 10 minute position paper
that addresses, however obliquely or tenuously, ideas that will feed
discussion pertaining to, after Raymond Williams, a given Keyword.
Contributions can be something that engages with the Keyword head-on, or
can be linked to work-in-progress that productively speaks to it in some
way, or something deliberately provocative, or any other idea or
research-led intervention. The brief for each event should ideally
remain as un-prescriptive as possible, keeping things wide-ranging and
eclectic and, in particular, allowing specific concepts and ideas to be
interrogated from an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary perspective.///

Organisers: Culture, Space, and Memory Research Group (Communication &
Media, University of Liverpool) and ERC-funded project “We are all
Ayotzinapa: The role of Digital Media in the Shaping of
Transnational Memories on Disappearance” (KU Leuven)
The workshop aims to explore the reconfiguration of cultural memory
under the impact of the digital turn. We are interested in grasping
memory’s entanglement with artistic, activist and archival forces in
a digital ecology. Questions that we would like to address in the
workshop include:
·How do digital technologies contribute to, or trigger, new forms of
political and artistic activism?
·How can we conceptualise the distinction between ‘collective’ and
‘connective’ memory?
·How issue-based politics and the personalization of engagement that are
characteristic of digital activism affect the shaping of collective memory?
·What are the new digital (transnational, interactive, connected)
communities of memory? What is the role of affect in constituting
networked communities?
·How is the notion of the ‘archive’ reconfigured under the impact
of digital media? What kinds of ‘rogue archives’ are produced and
socialised by artists and activists after the connective turn?
·What are the political and aesthetic challenges of outsourcing memory
to digital infrastructures?
·Do different platforms provide distinct affordances for the
construction of memory, or should we rather focus on genres of content
and memory objects that migrate across platforms, making the distinction
useless?
·What concepts, ideas, debates contribute to make sense of memory
practices that are distributed between non-human/post-human and human
agents?
We would like to discuss these and other related questions from both
theoretical and methodological perspectives, concentrating on the
challenges posed by digital media to memory studies.
Guest speakers include: Dr. Joanne Garde-Hansen (Warwick), Dr. Red
Chidgey (King’s College), Prof. Ana Longoni (Museo Reina Sofía/CONICET),
Prof. Claire Taylor (Liverprool), Prof. Mette Mortensen (Copenhagen),
Dr. Martin Pogačar (Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Art), Prof. Andrew
Hoskins (Glasgow), Prof. Wulf Kansteiner (Aaharus), Prof. Wolfgang Ernst
(Humboldt University), Prof. Annette Kuhn (Queen Mary), Dr. Zoe Alker
(Liverpool).
