Book Presentation:
This book addresses the growing awareness of the historical collections of film and media devices in film archives and media museums. Over thirty experts reflect on the prominent roles media technologies play in a range of social, cultural, curatorial, and educational practices as well as in storage, presentation, and research strategies, looking beyond the more customary range of debates to consider postcolonial issues and include voices from the Global South. Together their contributions investigate how media awareness impacts not only the strategies of media use, but also the archival and curatorial consciousnesses of those working in film and media archives, and at science, technology and media museums, as well as educationists, filmmakers and audiences in general.
