Betreff: call LCN Preservation of digital cultural artifacts
Call for Submission to the journal
Les Cahiers du Numérique (http://lcn.revuesonline.com)
Special issue on the Preservation of digital cultural artifacts
Submission deadline : 15/04/2012
Theme : Information and Communication Science and Technology
Objective : This special issue of Les Cahiers du Numérique questions
the relationship between digital objects and artistic creation
processes, and raises the issue of sustainability of artistic works
involving technological components. This relationship requires to re-
conceptualize technological tools as well as social and artistic
practices, in order to aim at the preservation of digital cultural
artifacts for re-production and re-performance.
This special issue seeks to shape the future direction for research in
France and worldwide, on the following research questions:
Which are the relevant preservation strategies for the repertoire of
works involving technological components, and especially digital
components? Which relationships may be established between
technologies and artistic creation processes? How to document and
archive interactions between various actors of the creative process
(artists, technical assistants, technological tools, etc.)? How can
knowledge be captured and transmitted for re-production purposes?
Which methodological and epistemological links can be established
between information science and other fields of research (e.g.
sociology of science, music research, museum studies, etc.) in order
to address these issues in various artistic contexts?
The goal of this special issue is to shed light on various aspects of
the preservation of digital cultural artifacts. Submissions may
address theoretical considerations as well as case studies on
artistic practices with a focus on the usage of technological means,
documentation and archival methodologies. This call primarily targets
the information science community, but we also invite
interdisciplinary approaches spanning various research fields in
humanities and social sciences as well as engineering and natural
sciences. Submissions by practitioners in terms of know-how
transmission are also welcome.
In this issue we will consider the following themes (non-exhaustive
list):
Preservation strategies
Digital data archival
Documentation methodology for individual as well as collective
artistic practices
The digital record lifecycle
