> TECHNOLOGIES OF MEMORY IN THE ARTS
> International conference, May 19-20, 2006
> Radboud University Nijmegen (The Netherlands)
>
> The conference 'Technologies of Memory in the Arts' focuses on art as a
> cultural and technological practice to process and construct the past in
> the present. Central questions to this conference are: How do art and
> artistic practices function as technologies of memory? How are cultural
> artefacts implicated in complex processes of remembering and forgetting,
of
> recollecting and disremembering, of amnesia and anamnesia?
>
> Keynote speakers (confirmed):
> - Marita Sturken (University of Southern California)
> - Ann Rigney (Utrecht University)
>
> As a shared artistic and social practice, cultural memory links the
present
> to the past. In doing so, cultural memory has strong ethical and political
> aspects. The arts are continuously engaged in non-linear processes of
> remembering and forgetting, characterised by repetition, rearrangement,
> revision, and rejection. In artistic representations new memories are thus
> constantly constructed, deconstructed and reconstructed by narrative
> strategies, visual and aural styles, intertextuality and intermediality,
> representations of time and space, and rituals of remembrance. These
> complex processes of representation are what we understand by the term
> 'technologies of memory'.
> The contemporary fascination with history and memory is accompanied by
> developments in media technology that have simultaneously a petrifying and
> a virtualising effect. Both individual and cultural memory are
increasingly
> mediated by modern technologies, which means that memories are not only
> recorded and recollected by media, but are also shaped and produced by
> them. The digital media, in particular, allow for new ways of storing,
> retrieving and archiving personal and collective memories, as well as
> cultural artefacts.
>
> The conference Technologies of Memory in the Arts specifically addresses
> the material construction of cultural memory. It aims to explore
procedures
> of memory in both traditional and new media as well as to investigate the
> role of digitalisation of art and culture in relation to memory.
Generally,
> its focus is on the materiality of representation and on the relation
> between the medium and the construction of cultural memory.
>
> We are especially interested in panel and paper proposals on the following
> topics:
> - Mediated memories
> - Narrative strategies
> - Intertextuality / intermediality
> - Music as memory work
> - Urban space and spatial dimensions
> - Tourism and heritage
> - Musical subcultures as memory space
> - Representations of memory in the arts
> - Amnesia and anamnesia
> - Icons of the recent past
> - Rituals of remembrance
> - Rituals, music and the shape of memory
> - Nostalgia and pastiche
> - Retro styles as forms of cultural memory
> - Rewritings of the classics
> - Digitalisation of archives
> - Music/sound recordings and the technology of memory
>
> Deadline for proposals: 1 November 2005.
