How do new media affect the question of social memory? Social
memory is usually described as enacted through ritual, language,
art, architecture, and institutions ? phenomena whose persistence
over time and capacity for a shared storage of the past was set in
contrast to fleeting individual memory. But the question of how
social memory should be understood in an age of digital computing,
instant updating, and interconnection in real time, is very much up
in the air. The essays in this collection discuss the new
technologies of memory from a variety of perspectives that
explicitly investigate their impact on the very concept of the
social. Contributors: David Berry, Ina Blom, Wolfgang Ernst,
Matthew Fuller, Andrew Goffey, Liv Hausken, Yuk Hui, Trond Lundemo,
Adrian Mackenzie, Sonia Matos, Richard Mills, Jussi Parikka, Eivind
Rossaak, Stuart Sharples, Tiziana Terranova, Pasi Valiaho.
