Given the current emphasis on “new” media in diverse disciplines and fields, can we conceive of doing history as a "backward" practice? The aim of this interdisciplinary conference is twofold. While we explore the attachments and investments that scholars continue to have in historical objects and historiographic projects, we also want to consider media historiography as a deviant act. What are the political possibilities of media historiography's curious and precarious status? Does this approach to the past afford us a politics divorced from logics of reproduction, futurity, and progress?
