PANEL I: PAPERWORK AND BOOK HISTORY
Moderated by Brian Larkin
The medium of print has often been
constructed as a medium of knowledge and
Enlightenment. This panel will complicate
our idealized accounts of book history by
contrasting the history of print with the
history of paperwork, filing systems, and
bureaucracies.

PANEL II: THE MAKING AND MARKING OF TIME
Moderated by Nikolaus Wegmann
Media mark their own time and the temporality
inherent in media may also shape our
written historiographies of media. Yet, at the
same time, the measuring and conception of
time is in itself subject to history and shaped
by the introduction of technical instruments.

PANEL III: MATERIALITIES OF CULTURE AND TECHNOLOGY
Moderated by Stefan Andriopoulos
In what ways do religions and other cultural

give rise to media? This panel will explore
the interaction between technical media

contrasting materialities of culture and
technology.

PANEL IV: HISTORIES OF MATERIAL MEDIA
Moderated by Reinhold Martin
The Archaeology of Media, the cultural history

Communications constitute different modes of
writing the history of material technologies.
This panel will explore the diverging and
overlapping methods of these approaches to
the question of how we can write the history
of media.
