Summary

This cutting-edge text offers an introduction to the emerging field of media archaeology and analyses the innovative theoretical and artistic methodology used to excavate current media through its past. Written with a steampunk attitude, What is Media Archaeology examines the theoretical challenges of studying digital culture and memory and opens up the sedimented layers of contemporary media culture. The author contextualizes media archaeology in relation to other key media studies debates including software studies, German media theory, imaginary media research, new materialism and digital humanities. What is Media Archaeology advances an innovative theoretical position while also presenting an engaging and accessible overview for students of media, film, and cultural studies. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in the interdisciplinary ties between art, technology and media.
