081 - Web Archiving and Social Media feat. Jessica Ogden and Katie Mackinnnon

This week we have two researchers to talk about web archiving, its politics, its goals, and how web archiving is often mobilized to address problems it really can’t help. We’re talking Tumblr and GeoCities, Twitter’s feared implosion, Internet Archive, and the space to mourn our platforms and communities.    Jessica’s social: https://twitter.com/jessogden  Katie’s social: https://twitter.com/ktcmackinnon; katiemackinnon.xyz Readings https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24701475.2021.1985835 PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EEODs_kMMUj0vywKLZMf7aetgUcBdh1q/view?usp=sharing https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24701475.2022.2051331PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16305lQTUYB2IK_G-eSnjvCEgt5YdOCQp/view?usp=sharing  Media referenced Jessica PhD thesis https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/447624/ Jessica’s publications: https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/en/persons/jessica-ogden  Katie’s PhD: https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca/handle/1807/125246  Katie’s publications: https://scholar.google.ca/citations?user=zKGIFGEAAAAJ&hl=en  GeoCities Tumblr research project https://www.tumblr.com/oneterabyteofkilobyteage Dead-and-dying platforms: a roundtable https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/24701475.2022.2071396  Baltimore Uprising; A Teen Epistolary https://www.activedistributionshop.org/shop/books/3963-the-2015-baltimore-uprising-a-teen-epistolary-by-various.html
