Research Seminar: Paul Fleig “Feminism and Media Archaeology”
Thursday January 27, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
This brief presentation will explore a few recent and recurring examples of gendered technology through the lens of media archaeology. Over the last two decades, media archaeology has emerged as an interdisciplinary field of research exploring different historical intersections of media old and new, digital and analogue, futuristic and anachronistic. Against many media archaeologists’ attempts to separate technological hardware from sexuality or gender, I will discuss recent and ongoing research on how and why different media have been gendered female, with particular attention to the examples of telephonic/synthetic voices and audio-visual archives.
