Compiling European Immigration History: The Case of Land of Promise
No full textToday, television’s reliance on archival footage seems to be intensifying due to the improved accessibility of European broadcast archives and the increased amount of available digitized broadcast material. This article presents an analysis of a recently broadcast Dutch television series, Land van Aankomst (‘Land of Promise,’ 2014), which has benefitted significantly from the improved accessibility of broadcast archives and the increased availability of digitized broadcast material. This three-part Dutch television series narrates the history of post-war immigration in Europe and is constructed from archival footage from various European broadcast archives. This article analyses the compilation strategy of Land of Promise and assesses what kind of European immigration history the series articulates through the selection and juxtaposition of archival footage
Editorial
No full textArchives have traditionally been the result of individual or collective decisions taken on political, institutional or business grounds in order to preserve documents and make these accessible for use. In the current digital ‘era of plenty,’ which enables an unprecedented creation of, and access to archival content, it seems that the very definition of an archive and its usage is being challenged.As a journal that aims to bring together archival expertise and academic knowledge on television history and culture and the role of archives in mediating the past, VIEW is proud to present an entire issue dedicated to ‘Archive Based Productions.’ Unlike other issues, this issue features the most contributions written by archive professionals, which can be found in the Discovery section of our journal. These archival discoveries complement the more scholarly explorations, which offer a broader perspective on archives as ‘launch pads’ for new productions
Archiving Broadcasters’ websites
Get PDFThe Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision decided, after a series of pilots, to begin archiving websites. Its aim is to archive websites that form a complement to its collection, which is mainly focused on audio visual materials and contains hundreds of thousands of hours of Dutch radio and television shows. The Institute believes radio and television is no longer just the broadcasted show. The program is larger and the internet plays a major role in how radio and television are being consumed. In order to recreate an evening of television from 2015 for future researchers, students or other interested parties, one cannot overlook the importance of the internet

Streaming: A Media Hydrography of Televisual Flows
No full textThis paper situates the metaphor of ‘streaming’ in contrast to and connection with fluid analogies and metaphors that have been used to describe different models of media transmission. From the early use of aqueous vocabulary that shaped popular and scientific understandings of electricity transmission to the seminal studies of mass communication concerning the flows of information, images of fluidity have long shaped cultural and conceptual understandings of media. Building on the work of media archaeologist Erkki Huhtamo, I approach these metaphors as ‘recurrent topoi’ in media culture and show that the metaphor of streaming serves to keep the remediation of past media forms hidden while simultaneously revealing certain dominant features of digital culture
The Lessons of Counterpoint: Wolfgang Ernst’s Media Archaeology and Practical Archival Research
No full textThe work of German scholar Wolfgang Ernst has become increasingly influential within media archaeology. Ernst has sought to define a border between the field and traditional media history, arguing that media archaeologists should focus on the study of technological artefacts and processes. He places significant stress on the importance of media archives yet his approach to such institutions is primarily theoretical. Meanwhile, the theoretical basis for some types of media archive research is somewhat lacking. This raises the possibility of whether cross-pollination between media archaeology and these fields might prove mutually beneficial. This paper examines aspects of Ernst’s writings alongside material from a recent archival project focused on a Northern Irish television series to provide an overview of the possibilities
