Elle sera une occasion d’encourager les échanges à partir des approches utilisées dans différents espaces culturels à différents niveaux afin de réfléchir sur l’archivage du Net en Méditerranée et dans ses pourtours.
Exploring the Archived Net Throughout a Extremely Transformative Age 5-6 June 2023 Marseille
The current transnational political and health crises are a stark reminder of the need to pay specific consideration to the recurrent info that's diffused on the internet and social media platforms. These digital documents, each chic and sinister, have develop into a routine aspect in human activity, ranging from ironic memes about lockdown measures to tragic videos documenting the violent actions dedicated towards civilians by armed forces. The character of net archiving methods aims at sustaining these born-digital sources which are essential for the research of current phenomena. Subsequently, these constitute valuable supplies that illustrate the history of the present context because the 1990s while contributing to the development of a digital heritage, which is each a memory for future societies and an indispensable supply of up to date details for future researchers.
Nevertheless, the brief time span during which transnational events (pandemics, political crises, and so on.) have taken place shouldn't mask the profound transformations which have marked societies because the democratisation of the Net within the 1990s, whether or not it's the climate challenge, the assertion of individual elementary rights, the consequences of economic liberalism or the shifts in spiritual practices. These transformations have been accompanied by far-reaching socio-technical developments and an enlargement in digital cultures, whose international historical past is but to be written. The first net archiving initiatives that originated in the 1990s, whereas offering a useful source base, additionally created a big international following, with organisations and people corresponding to GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums), scholars, civil society… whose goal was to collect, safeguard and render the past Net accessible to all. This archived Net constitutes a singular material for the research of current phenomena, whereas offering the likelihood to preserve the corpora and find websites which are at present inaccessible, and retrieve previous web sites which are presently unavailable on-line. Nevertheless, using Net archives as research materials necessitates epistemological and methodological reflection, and has subsequently emerged as a area of research in itself.
In recent times, using the Net to review social, cultural and political phenomena has developed considerably, and has thus contributed to advances in the history of the Net and research in the social sciences and humanities. Furthermore, the Net and digital cultures have themselves turn into a area of research, typically by trial and error, by means of the exploration of methodologies, whether they be grassroots approaches or tasks rooted within the digital humanities. Since 2012, RESAW (resaw.eu), an organisation created to develop a pan-European research infrastructure, has contributed considerably to this dynamic that focuses on the research of Net archives and the past Net. This highlights the extent to which a greater information of the Net’s history might help us to extra effectively face the challenges of a world in full transformation. RESAW has additionally created the chance to develop an epistemological and methodological reflection on the making of Net archives, thus establishing itself as a serious participant in Net archives studies, an interdisciplinary analysis subject undergoing radical restructuring.
Eight years after the first RESAW convention, which offered for ground-breaking debates on technical, scientific and archival elements, the conference in Marseille, organised by Aix-Marseille College, proposes to appraise Net archives research in relation to the research carried out on the Internet, social media, the Net archives and reborn digital heritage. It should look at the event of Net archiving whereas highlighting the best way during which technical, cultural, geopolitical, societal and environmental transformations impression the conception, research and dissemination of this reborn digital heritage. There are numerous international challenges and the stakes of Net archiving have an effect on not only researchers and GLAMs, but in addition the whole of civil society, as the various casual archiving initiatives led by amateurs in nations that wouldn't have a set system have illustrated. The convention will subsequently give attention to the methods and practices carried out by those who have explored and proceed to explore the archived Net while opening up perspectives for the years to return. Situated on the Mediterranean shores, the conference in Marseille will probably be a chance to stimulate discussions based mostly on the approaches used in totally different cultural areas on totally different levels with a purpose to mirror on Net archiving within the Mediterranean and its surrounding areas.
