Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Media archaeology has come of age. Evidence is abundant. The recent decade saw the publication of book-length media archeological studies of historical topics such as magic on the screen and the moving panorama (Williamson 2015; Huhtamo 2013), as well as about the foundations of current media phenomena such as the electronic image, haptic media, and touch screens (Rozenkrantz 2020; Parisi 2018; Strauven 2021). In addition, media-archaeological perspectives also informed recent works on theatre, television, optical toys, film historiography, computer graphics, and mediated urban spaces (Wynants 2018; Fickers and Weber 2015; Galili 2020; Bak 2020; Beltrame, Fidotta, and Mariani 2015; Gaboury 2021; Mattern 2017). Several scholars have been proposing new thematic and methodological variants of media archaeologies, including ‘public media archaeology’, ‘network archaeology’, and ‘experimental media archaeology’ (Keidl 2017; Starosielski, Soderman, and Cheek 2013; Fickers and van den Oever 2014).
