BIRMAC sponsored panel, School of Arts Doctoral Conference 2022
Working in and with archives is always about more than recovering or discovering the past; it also entails producing or shaping various futures, both by accident and design. This panel explores this productive tension, bringing together researchers engaged in the implications of the archive in both theory and practice.
Organised as part of the FMACS Doctoral-Led Conference, and sponsored by Birkbeck Interdisclinary Research in Media and Culture (BIRMAC), this interdisciplinary panel will provide the space to explore questions pertaining to memory, temporality, ideologies, counter-archives, and the production of present and future histories through archival practice.
This call is for research students across the School of Arts. Areas of interest include curatorial practice and museology; born-digital and audio-visual archives; archival ordering and medial logic; internet (as) archive; notions of play; remixing and image circulation; memory transmission; loss and absence. We welcome proposals that engage with these themes, archival and counter-archival thinking, and methodological approaches to studying archives.
Chair: Dr Silke Arnold-de Simine, Panel presenters: Sean Cham, Katherine MItchell. Raquel Morris, Selena Robertson.
Organised by Katherine Mitchell.
