| Book Description | Hands on Media History explores the whole range of hands on media history techniques for the first time, offering both practical guides and general perspectives. It covers both analogue and digital media; film, television, video, gaming, photography and recorded sound. Understanding media means understanding the technologies involved. The hands on history approach can open our minds to new perceptions of how media technologies work and how we work with them. Essays in this collection explore the difficult questions of reconstruction and historical memory, and the issues of equipment degradation and loss. Hands on Media History is concerned with both the professional and the amateur, the producers and the users, providing a new perspective on one of the modern era's most urgent questions: what is the relationship between people and the technologies they use every day? Engaging and enlightening, this collection is a key reference for students and scholars of media studies, digital humanities, and for those interested in models of museum and research practice. |
| Editorial Review | What can obsolete, discarded communications technologies tell us about past media practices? How did human-machine interactions require and cultivate particular skills and build communities of practice and knowledge? In this wide-ranging and provocative collection, Hands On Media History lays out how media archeology, as a method and a mindset, can retrieve the expertise, ingenuity and joy that accompanied pioneering media forms. Certain to open up rich new conversations about doing media history. Susan J. Douglas, Catherine Neafie Kellogg Professor, The University of Michigan |
