Cultural Loss through Decomposition of the Memory?
The Cultural of Memory in the Digital Age
Thu, October 24, 2013 10 am CEST, Symposium
The conference is dedicated both to the legal problems connected to the Digital Archive Internet, and to the role of the state archives, from archives of public television and radio broadcasters, as well as the literary archive at Marbach. A brief look at the radio archive of neighboring France is also taken.
The reasons behind the conference are the digital cultural goods which are very difficult to archive. And yet the Internet − as Universal Archive − does not always appear to be the appropriate location for collecting knowledge: much of what someone would prefer to have disappear remains visible to all by a mere mouse click; this equally concerns private persons, institutions and businesses. Additional issues are those of copyright, personal rights and data protection, all of which demand solutions especially in view of the disclosures following the Snowden affair.
Conversely, cultural memory threatens to disappear with increasing rapidity in the digital age. And efforts to retain such memory are conspicuous; here the technical development, and, above all, the criteria for determining what is worthy of preservation present cultural archives with difficult decisions. Your point of view will also be considered during the conference.
