Caring for Past Media from Below
This paper examines grassroots practices of care for obsolete broadcast technologies through the lens of Maintenance and Repair Studies and Science and Technology Studies, focusing on two case studies: the preservation of U-Matic video technology and the reappropriation of CRT displays in retrogaming communities. Through qualitative analysis, the study investigates how these practices operate across three dimensions of care – object, network, and…
The ‘obligatory passage point’ in knowledge co-production
The process of developing of a participatory environmental monitoring network in Italy, unfolded between 2013 and 2020, is analysed in order to explore the dynamics of knowledge co-production involving collaboration between scientists and non-experts, in the present case constituted by a community of weather amateurs and practitioners. Based on a qualitative approach and 15 in-depth interviews with different stakeholders involved in the early dev…
Implementing Low Cost Digital Libraries for Rural Communities by Re-functioning Obsolescent Television Sets
The article addresses the issue of the digital divide in Ecuador and illustrates how artefacts from television material heritage might be transformed into digital libraries to provide marginalized communities with access to digital information. It describes an ongoing socio-technical project which aims at providing Ecuadorian rural communities with access to digital information through the re-functioning of analogue TV sets and other complementar…
Retromedia-in-practice
The article aims at investigating the persistence and comeback of old media technologies (phenomena we define, in short, 'retromedia') by developing a distinctive theoretical approach named retromedia-in-practice and based on practice theory. Far from being abandoned and forgotten, many old media devices and artefacts (such as vinyl records, cassette tapes, analogue photographic cameras, early videogames and brick mobile phones, to mention just a…
