“…HEY YOU, GET OFF OF MY CLOUD” MEDIA ARCHAEOLOGY AS TOPOS STUDY
There are many ways of doing media archaeology. This lecture will offer a closer look at one of them: topos study. Topoi are formulas and “frozen” expressions that are recycled within cultural processes. They appear, disappear and appear again across centuries, and are used to give expression for different ideas in different contexts. The lecture will explain how topos study can increase our understanding of both contemporary media culture and its history. Several examples will be analyzed. Michelangelo will meet the Rolling Stones will meet iCloud.
