Dissertation
The Future of the
Present: Mapping out the Network in Autonomous
Archives
In the present day, the very well-known
motto of revolution “the Revolution will not be televised” is
replaced by “the Revolution will be tweeted” in disobedient
cities. As it was obviously seen in Tahrir Square, Jasmine Revolution,
Indignant Movement, and Gezi Park, protestors are live streaming
videos, taking photos, and tweeting locations of infirmaries, streets
under police intervention, food-beverage-first aid kit requirement
lists, name of people who were detained, etc. In this framework, my
dissertation project aims to interrogate the notion of documenting the
present, and aspires to raise the question of archiving the present by
including digitally born materials, which are produced during social
movements in reclaimed urban spaces by protestors and circulated on
social media on a national and global level. Since the clashes between
demonstrators and police on streets are only the tip of an iceberg and
more data is produced in digital form, and circulated on the Internet
to support demonstrators, or protest the government, collecting only
material objects from the streets would not be enough to narrate
disobedience days properly.
Moreover, previous studies
focusing on disobedience movements mostly have a particular intention
to understand the causes and consequences of the protests, and seek to
find similarities and differences between disobedient cities from
different geographies. In a similar vein, digitally born materials
have been mostly examined in terms of social media revolution, and the
role of new media communication tools in occupy movements has been
interrogated. Building on these previous works, this study aims to map
out the typical trajectories of the autonomous archives.
The empirical data will be collected through a field study conducted
in archives in three cities from different geographies: Istanbul,
Berlin and New York. After selecting one archive from each city,
archival materials will be analyzed with the aim of defining possible
networks in order to develop an autonomous archive.
It
comes as no surprise that temporality and world in a
city are two common features in the pattern of the social
movements in the Internet Age, while the movements appear local and
global at the same time. In this manner, focusing on three different
metropolitan cities through the lenses of temporality and world in a
city will provide me an opportunity to elaborate different ontologies
of autonomous archives in the pattern of online/digital
archiving.
