epistemology of the archive

Epistemologies of the Archive

/
Texts that discuss the concept of the archive and how its context and meaning have changed in the contemporary technological climate. The bibliography focuses on concepts of nationalism/power, historiography, memory and the role of film and ephemera in primary research.

The Media City

/
Texts that operate at the intersection of media and urban studies; that consider the city as a total, media environment. Or, from the other direction, texts that consider the manner in which media technologies begin to bleed outside of their representational spaces and become worldly.

World Expositions

/
Texts that deal with World Exhibitions (see: World’s Fairs, Expos, etc.) as cultural phenomena; that consider their essence and their contemporaneity; that provide, whether implicitly or explicitly, a context for Expo ‘67 as a particular manifestation of this genre of historical event.
