*Intersectionalities and Media Archaeologies
<https://scholarworks.umass.edu/cpo/>*
Edited by Zachary J. McDowell and Nathanael Bassett

The emerging field of media archaeology has opened up new avenues of
research across fields and provided a way to challenge accepted historical
layers of social and technical arrangements. Drawing from a variety of
entangled theories and methodologies, bringing in German media theory, new
materialism, digital humanities, software studies, cultural studies,
Foucauldian frameworks, and others, media archaeology interrogates dead
media, alternative technological schema, the composition of
infrastructures, everyday objects, and other phenomena, providing new
insights and recontextualization for scholars from an array of backgrounds.
However, despite the interconnected promise of Media Archaeology, the
practices and theories remain limited in their engagement with much of
critical cultural communication and media studies.

In the introduction to “What is Media Archaeology,” Jussi Parikka notes
that “we need to be prepared to refresh media archaeology itself.” This
collection is meant to continue exactly that - to highlight and connect
ways to theorize and “refresh” the concepts related to media archaeology in
connection with the study of communication. We have gathered an array of
intersectional engagements with and applications of media archaeological
practices as they function theoretically, methodologically, spatially,
institutionally, and in relation to the study of communication.

With this issue, the first of two in this collection, we hope to begin
providing scholars a space in which to explore the promise of media
archaeology as a critical set of lenses.
