書籍簡介/Book De*ion

許多人使用照片媒體工具來記錄日常事件和儀式。幾代人以來，我們將記憶儲存在相冊、日記和鞋盒中，以便在生活中稍後的某個時刻取回。自傳式記憶、它的工具和它的對象是大多數人日常生活中迫切關注的問題，而zui近的數字轉型使許多人反思他們自己的 "中介記憶 "的價值和意義。數碼相機、攝像機和多媒體電腦正在迅速取代模擬設備，不可避免地改變了我們的日常工作和傳統的回憶形式。數字照片、生活日誌、攝影博客、網絡攝像頭或播放列表將如何改變我們對過去事物的個人記憶？它們又將如何影響我們的文化記憶？本研究的主要重點是（新舊）媒體技術塑造記憶行為和個人記憶的方式。本書聚焦於熟悉的物品，但也探討了更大的問題，即技術如何滲透到我們的私密常規和情感過程中，如何影響私人與公共、記憶與經驗、自我與他人之間的關係。

Many people deploy photo media tools to document everyday events and rituals. For generations we have stored memories in albums, diaries, and shoeboxes to retrieve at a later moment in life. Autobiographical memory, its tools, and its objects are pressing concerns in most people’s everyday lives, and recent digital transformation cause many to reflect on the value and meaning of their own “mediated memories.” Digital photo cameras, camcorders, and multimedia computers are rapidly replacing analogue equipment, inevitably changing our everyday routines and conventional forms of recollection. How will digital photographs, lifelogs, photoblogs, webcams, or playlists change our personal remembrance of things past? And how will they affect our cultural memory? The main focus of this study is the ways in which (old and new) media technologies shape acts of memory and individual remembrances. This book spotlights familiar objects but addresses the larger issues of how technology penetrates our intimate routines and emotive processes, how it affects the relationship between private and public, memory and experience, self and others.

媒體推薦/Comments

"The medium is the experience. A personal memory box full of private media objects was the inspiration for José van Dijck's newest and most innovative contribution to the zone between media studies and science studies where she has been such an important voice internationally. Detailing the ways that media and memory are not separate experiences through readings of the digital diaries and lifelogs of people suffering from Alzheimer's disease, Dutch recorded popular music, and still and moving images from a range of contexts, van Dijck presents an exciting new way of thinking about cultural memory and a cultural sense of self."

-- Lisa Cartwright, University of California ― San Diego

"Mediated Memories in the Digital Age is an engaging and important book that challenges scholarly understanding of the relation between memory, memory artifacts, and memory practices and elucidates how these relationships are changing in the digital age. José van Dijck brings a theoretically sophisticated yet pragmatic approach to bear on her survey of today's most widespread digital practices of mediating memories. Her persuasive and timely thesis is solidly grounded in cultural and media studies, and her work is well informed by recent research in cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, and visualization technologies."

-- Richard Grusin ― ayne State University

"The book is accessible to undergraduates and provides an excellent framework for postgraduates both in terms of its clarity in developing the conceptual tool of 'mediated memory' and in addressing some aspects of the digital in relation to this. One of its strengths concerns the way in which van Dijck unpacks the conceptual flaws conventionally associated with collective memory and the problematic assumptions that underlie much of the discussion of the relationship of media to this... The book is beautifully written, telling an engaging story, as well as tackling with academic erudition the study of mediated memories in the digital age."

-- Memory Studies

"José van Dijck performs a sophisticated analysis that blends neurological research on memory, media technologies, and the "personal cultural" construction of memories into a coherent, far-reaching theory of the function, role, and significance of memory as we move from analogue to digital representations. Filled with deep insights and surprising observations, this book should be required reading for anyone interested in memory, digital technologies, and their co-evolution."

-- N. Katherine Hayles, University of California ― Los Angeles
