How can we challenge the exclusively textual approaches to media history and opt for a more experimental and hands-on approach to cultural heritage? The University of Groningen’s Film Archive and the Network for Experimental Media Archaeology, focused on media heritage, are working on innovative methodologies for engaging with past media technologies by creating situations of re-use to experience and understand the complex relationship between the materiality of media devices and the performative qualities of such objects.
You are kindly invited to the presentation of their concept of a new digital platform used for the recording and sharing of data and experiments, and to discuss new, experimental, apparatus-oriented forms of media research, teaching, and curating. Among Speakers are Giovanna Fossati (Eye Film Institute The Netherlands / University of Amsterdam), Andreas Fickers (Luxembourg University), Annie van den Oever, Bernd Warnders, and André Rosendaal (University of Groningen), Andrea Haller (Deutsches Filminstitut / German Film Museum Frankfurt am Main), Ludwig Vogl Bienek (University of Trier), Nick Hall (Royal Holloway, University of London), Johan Oomen (Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision).
The event will take place in Infoversum’s 3D Dome and its director, astronomer Shawn Laatsch, will demonstrate the specific technologies and value of the 3D Dome for academic research and education as part of the program.

AAC “Médiation des mémoires en ligne”, Revue « Les Cahiers du Numérique »
Ce numéro des Cahiers du Numérique propose de questionner, à l’heure du numérique, l’évolution des pratiques professionnelles et amateur de collecte et de valorisation des mémoires filmées qu’elles concernent l’histoire contemporaine, la sociologie, l’anthropologie, l’ethnomusicologie ou encore l’action culturelle et l’intermédialité (liste non exhaustive). Les contributions, transdisciplinaires, éclaireront la manière dont le numérique conduit à reconsidérer les différentes étapes de cette mise en mémoire. Qu’est‐ce qui change quant la valorisation des entretiens est à la portée du plus grand nombre ? Qu’est‐ce qui évolue quand les récits mémoriels filmés sont intégrés à des plateformes plurimédia? Quels usages sont fait de ces images par les individus, par les groupes de mémoires et par les institutions ? Est‐ce que cela transforme la façon dont les communautés mobilisent le support mémoriel qu’est l’acteur de l’histoire filmé ? Quels matériaux pour l’histoire ou la sociologie peuvent être ainsi produits ? Cela n’est pas uniquement à interroger d’un point de vue technologique, mais aussi en termes de pratiques et d’usages artistiques, culturels et sociaux des dites technologies. Il s’agira ainsi, de se demander ce qui fait rupture au tournant du XXIe siècle, ainsi que ce qui relève de l’ordre de la continuité.

“Media Scholars and Amateurs of All Countries and Disciplines, Hands-on!”
Recent years have witnessed a growing turn to experimental historical research in the history of media technologies. In addition to archival investigation and oral history interviews, historians and enthusiasts are increasingly uncovering histories of technology through hands-on exercises in simulation and re-enactment. Equipment lovingly restored by amateurs, or preserved by national heritage collections, is being placed in the hands of the people who once operated it, provoking a new and rich flood of memories.
The turn to experimental research raises profound methodological questions. The unreliability of narrative memory is well proven, but what do we know about the limits of haptic and tactile memory? To what extent is it possible to elicit useful memories of technological arrays when parts of those arrays are missing or non-functional? How do the owners of old equipment shape the historical narratives which are stimulated by their collections?
Hands-On History is a colloquium designed to facilitate discussion of these issues between historians, users, curators and archivists (amateur and professional) who are making use of and taking part in these historical enquiries. In addition to a series of keynote presentations by leading scholars in the field, the event will also include stimulating workshops on specific focus areas. While the focus of the event will be on media technologies, broadly defined, we invite contributions from other areas of technology and from other academic disciplines.

Le qualitatif à l’ère numérique, 4e festival suisse des méthodes qualitatives et mixtes
La quatrième édition du « Festival suisse des méthodes » se déroulera les lundi 7 et mardi 8 septembre à l’Université de Lausanne (quartier Mouline, bâtiment Géopolis). Comme lors des précédentes éditions, le Festival se propose de présenter les innovations récentes dans le domaine des méthodes qualitatives et mixtes. Cette année offre cependant une nouveauté : par le biais de cours thématiques et lors des séances plénières, la manifestation mettra un accent particulier sur l’usage de méthodes qualitatives dans la recherche consacrée aux nouvelles technologies.
Le Festival offre une plateforme aux chercheuses et chercheurs des sciences sociales et humaines (et spécialement aux doctorant-e-s et post-doctorant-e-s) pour échanger et connaître de nouvelles méthodes. Il vise également à réunir la communauté de recherche qualitative active en Suisse romande et se déroulera principalement en langue française. Plus concrètement, des spécialistes renommé-e-s seront à disposition pour discuter de l’application de méthodes et théories dans le cadre des ateliers de recherche prévus. Les participants qui le désirent auront ainsi l’occasion d’aborder des questions au plus proche de leurs propres préoccupations.
