Meanings

1. (countable, uncountable) A field that attempts to understand new and emerging media through close examination of the past.
   • The history of media archaeology has been a history of discourse-oriented analysis in the sense of Foucault. However, it was Friedrich Kittler, the intellectual father of media archaeology, who inspired a focus on the materiality of the medium from the early 1980s onwards, one of his aims being to lay bare the epistemological structure underpinning studies in the humanities. 2022, Andreas Fickers, Annie van den Oever, Doing Experimental Media Archaeology, Walter de Gruyter, →ISBN:
