Meeting #2 notes - Monday November 19th

Meeting #2

Wendy, Daniella, Anne, Tomasz, Paul, Maryse, Saelan, Fran, Anne Sophie

Li’s suggestion; the Disposable – concern that it would not apply to more historical research

The Innovative – Tomasz’s suggestion – trying to complicate the value that newness has in contemporary (and historical research) questions about presentism, media archaeology scholarship, contemporary practices that use obsolete technologies

- negative connotations of the title? Can we think of a title that encapsulates these themes that is a different title?

           

The Tangible

The Forgettable – is the forgettable already too common a theme? What about the “unforgettable”?

-       to forget, ‘on forgetting’

Voting time….

We are doing our theme of THE TANGIBLE!!!!

EVERYONE: post blurbs with ‘tangible’ notes – as in, how it relates to your own discipline, etc, to the conference blog

Potential Keynotes… here we are ‘dreaming big…”
