Transmediation and the Archive: Decoding Objects in the Digital Age (Book Cultures, Medieval to Modern) - Tapa dura

Transmediation and the Archive (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Building on the field of modern archival practice, Transmediation and the Archive explores the possibilities of archival objects. Investigating material as diverse as early modern printed books, death masks, a spirit photograph, and a manuscript choir book, this study interrogates not only what the objects are now, but also asks what they were before taking material form, and what they can become as their format is transferred to other media. Blending insights from museum, library, archives, and media studies with experiential research, Astrid J. Smith examines the activities that shape the making of heritage objects, and asks how an awareness of digitization practices can inform our knowledge of both their digital and physical form. She proposes a new methodological framework for evaluating the way materiality and media can affect our relationship with historical artefacts and book culture and demonstrates its fascinating application. This book explores the possibilities of archival objects as diverse as early modern printed books and funeral masks, and asks what activities stand behind the making of heritage objects, and how digitization practices can inform our knowledge of various media.
