School of Arts and Communication (K3) at the Faculty of Culture and Society
The Faculty of Culture and Society is a multidisciplinary faculty that includes the School of Arts and Communication (K3), the Department of Global Political Studies, the Department of Language and Linguistics, and the Department of Urban Studies.
K3 is a multidisciplinary school with approximately 80 employees and 1 000 full-time students. The school?s education and research deal with media, design, art, culture and society and it plays an important role in the O?resund region?s cultural life. K3 conducts transnational education at the Bachelor?s and Master?s level as well as doctoral programmes within the research area New Media, Public Spheres and Forms of Expression. There are degree programmes in subjects such as media and communication studies, interaction design, performing arts design, English studies, and design and visual communication. The school also offers a large number of freestanding courses.
The Living Archives project
The Living Archives project is funded by the Swedish Research Council?s (Vetenskapsrådet) programme ?Digitalized Society? (
http://livingarchives.mah.se) . It is a 4 year collaborative, interdisciplinary project with researchers from the Faculties of Culture and Society, Technology and Society, and Education and Society. It began in January 2013 and will end in December 2016. Two Post Doctorates will join the Living Archives project, one to be located in the Technology and Society Faculty and one in the Culture and Society Faculty. Once these appointments are made, there will be a total of 11 researchers from Malmö University associated with this project.
The project addresses the challenges facing the digitized society through (1) the phenomena of public cultural heritage archives that increasingly are being digitized, and (2) the personal practices of archiving that are transforming dramatically through the widespread use of mobile, networked technologies. The project is structured through the parallel and complementary research strands of Open Data and Performing Memory. Specific goals include:
• to explore the potentials of public digitized archives;
• to view archive material (photographs, film/video, audio, text) as interactive social resources in the present;
• to utilize the power of the collaborative media landscape by exploring how the gathering of live data can become instant archives as people move through geographical contexts;
• to explore how open data can become meaningful to specific communities of practice;
• to foster a performative approach emphasizing the embodied and personal qualities of archiving as a living practice;
• to explore, prototype and test relevant possibilities for future digital archives.
It should be stressed that the purpose of this project is not simply to digitize existing content or to open up dormant archives, but to address the current problems of a narrowing of content (what is archived?) and an narrowing of inclusion (who does the archiving? and who accesses it?).
