TRE Workshop #3 »Archives and Cultural Memory« Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) Copenhagen 28 – 29 May 2015 University of Copenhagen Copenhagen 30 May 2015 TRE Workshop #3 »Archives and Cultural Memory« Copenhagen 28 – 30 May 2015 With the rise of digitization, broadcasting archives are growing increasingly accesGenome Project as well as transnational project such as Europeana, EUScreen and Transnational Radio Encounters (TRE) create new possibilities for researchers and enable new histories to emerge. Broadcasting archives are increasingly relevant as collections of cultural heritage and resources for cultural memories, and thus also as objects of ideological mobilisation for national and supranational projects as well as for minorities and communities. At the same time, smaller, private and commercial online archives increasingly challenge large public archives as access points for cultural memory, community and creativity. This workshop welco alike in a discussion of the practical and methodological implications of such archival ves as repositories of cultural encounters, and asks how collaborations and clashes between cultures have been documented, stored and re-circulated in broadcasting archives, how archival knowledge can be networked to restore the knowledge of such encounters and how the increased availability of archival material may be used to generate new transnational and transcultural spaces of dialogue. About TRE Transnational Radio Encounters. Mediations of Nationality, Identity and Community through Radio (TRE) is a European Cooperative Research Project funded by Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA). Transnational Radio Encounters investigates how radio structures cultural encounters. Perhaps more than any other medium, radio has articulated modern ideas of culture, nationality and identity. From its very beginning radio has had a history of transculturalism, documented in early shortwave practices, in transborder listening, in international services, community radio and in collaborations between broadcasters. TRE examines the aesthetic, institutional and material features of such transnational radio encounters and asks what sorts of cultural identities and interactions they support. As archived radio material comes increasingly into circulation, the project further queries to what extent the national orientation of archives obscures or preserves transnational contexts, and how archive materials In order to enhance mutual exchange of archival material for research, teaching and the advent of radio-related cultural memory, TRE has developed an online open knowledge base, the Transnational Radio Knowledge Base (TRKB), gathering audio, video, multimedia and texts related to all issues concerned with transnational radio production, broadcasting, or reception to allow for comparative perspectives on historical and present aspects of radio producing, listening and aesthetics. https://transnationalradio.org Public Day Danish Broadcasting Corporation, DAB In Thursday, 28 May 1 pm Welcome and introduction Golo Föllmer (TRE project leader, Martin-Luther University Halle-Wittenberg) Jacob Kreutzfeld (TRE Organizer „Archives and Cultural Memory“, University of Copenhagen) Tina Pipa (Head of DR-Archive) 1:30 - 2:30 pm Keynote: From „source“ to „document“ to „data“: the archive as trading zone of historical knowledge production Andreas Fickers (University of Luxembourg) Since the 19th century, archives have been developing best practices for the selection, documentation and preservation of historical sources. As knowledge infrastructures, they developed important standards and techniques of dealing with diverse historical traditions and have turned into gatekeepers of our cultural herifronting such institutions of „trust“ and „embodied expertise“ with. The shift from „preservation“ to „accessibility“ in terms of public legitimation of archival instituUsing the concept of „trading zone“, the lecture will discuss the negotiation of new forms of collaboration between archives and its users and identify a number of „boundary objects“ that can be analysed as being at the heart of the current renegotiation of expertise and practices of archival research. 3 - 5 pm Dialogue on cultural histories and memory From Enzensberger to Clausen. An auditive transformation Ib Poulsen (Roskilde University) The radio feature is one of the most prominent genres in the historisation of radio. Based on an extensive study of the Danish radio montage and its roots, this presentation considers the development of the genre in Danish radio and in particular as example of transnational inspiration and of creative re-production. Cultural memory in the age of mass digitization Nanna Bonde-Tylstrup (University of Copenhagen) The 20th century saw a shift in the conceptual history of museums, libraries and other archival sites from objective realms of knowledge to subjective experiential framings.

What are the most common constrains of archive use in research and in teaching future researchers and other users in secondary and academic education? Is digitization merely granting access or is it generating new problems? How can archives better facilitate transnational research agendas? How can research help us guide and optimize future archive development?
