New Conceptions of the Archive in Contemporary Thought and New Media Practices

International Conference at Nasjonalbiblioteket, Oslo, March 13th 2009

This conference investigates the current proliferation of the concept of the archive. The concept has expanded to areas beyond the classical archive, to art, philosophy, and new text and media practices. Simultaneously, these new practices both resist and transform the archival, perhaps creating what one may call a new anarchival condition.
