[more ▼] A multitude of devices and technological tools now exist to make, share, and store memories and moments with family, friends, and even strangers. Memory practices such as home movies, which originated as the privilege of a few, well-to-do families, have now emerged as ubiquitous and immediate cultures of sharing. Departing from the history of home movies, this volume offers a sophisticated understanding of technologically mediated, mostly ritualized memory practices, from early beginnings in the fin-de-siècle to today. Departing from a longue durée perspective on home movie practices, Materializing Memories moves beyond a strict historical study to grapple with highly theorized fields, such as media studies, memory studies, and science and technology studies (STS). The contributors to this volume reflect on these different intellectual backgrounds and perspectives, but all chapters share a common framework by addressing practices of use, user configurations, and relevant media landscapes. Grasping the cultural dynamics of such multi-faceted practices requires a multidimensional conceptual approach, here achieved by centering around three concepts as central analytical lenses: dispositifs, generations, and amateurs.

[more ▼] ‘Changes were in the air’ – is perhaps the best way to describe the social mood at the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s. On the international stage, the gap between the post-war generation, known as the ‘baby boomers’ and the generation that had experienced World War II as adolescents or young adults came to light in the form of student protests, anti-war movements and new concepts of life. It is scarcely a coincidence that there were protests in eastern Belgium too at this time. What were the ‘young wild ones’ protesting against in the German speaking region of Belgium? Based on a generational approach, this article aims at contextualizing the autonomy-debate in the late 1960s and early 1970s by focusing on a historical investigation into a few young people in the Eifel region that would strike new political tones with lasting influence on the political landscape as well as on the social or cultural environment of eastern Belgium.

[more ▼] Inspired by experiences with doing experimental research in the fields of history of science, archaeology and musicology this essay aims at reflecting on the heuristic potential of experimental media archaeology for a history of technology interested in the sensorial dimension of technology. Based on the concept of re-enactment, experimental media archaeology tries to explore new ways of experiencing and understanding the materiality of media technologies by interacting with these objects in a playful manner. In order to do so, the article argues, we need to de-auratize historical objects and turn the historian – which to often remains within the textual realm when studying the past media practices – into an experimenter and the museum into a laboratory. Ziel dieses Essays ist es, experimentelle Medienarchäologie als alternative Methode einer sinnes- und objektorientierten Technik- und Mediengeschichtsschreibung zu skizzieren. Basierend auf den Erfahrungen im Bereich experimenteller Wissenschaftsgeschichte, der experimentellen Archäologie sowie der historisch informierten Aufführungspraxis in der Musik soll das erkenntnistheoretische Potenzial eines objekt- und sinnesorientierten experimentellen Zugangs im Bereich der Medien- und Technikgeschichte diskutiert werden. In bewusster Abgrenzung von klassischen medienarchäologischen Arbeiten, deren methodologisches Repertoire sich meist in der Diskursanalyse erschöpft, zielt die experimentelle Medienarchäologie auf eine spielerische Heuristik, in deren Mittelpunkt die Methode des „re-enactment“ steht.
