It will be a cozy little workshop intended to reexamine the early history of electronic computing from new perspectives, and to explore the potential of this history to contribute to media studies and computer science. It also marks the start of my association with Siegen University, where I’m supposed to be a visiting professor part time for the next few years in conjunction with its research training group “Locating Media,” its research center “Media of Cooperation,” and its new iSchool (a joint venture between computer science and media studies). Over the next few years I should be organizing events, contributing to research, and helping to integrate the history of information technology into the curriculum for the iSchool degrees.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Details on the workshop are at <a href="http://www.tomandmaria.com/tom/Workshop16">www.tomandmaria.com/tom/Workshop16</a>.

During the workshop many of Europe’s leading scholars of computing history will present their latest research to each other and participate in a series of roundtable discussions structured to provide lively interdisciplinary engagement. Early work on the history of computing was carried out by computers scientists and pioneers. It focused on technical analysis of the computers of the 1940s and 50s. As the history of computing has matured as a scholarly field its focus has shifted to social and cultural analysis and to later time periods. The shift reduced computer scientist Donald Knuth to tears, shed because</span><span class=apple-converted-space><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'> </span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><a href="http://www.tomandmaria.com/Tom/Writing/CACMKnuthTears.pdf"><span style='color:#005A8C'>history was being “dumbed down.</span></a>" Now a new generation of scholars is returning to explore the world of early digital platforms and practices, combining careful attention to materiality and technical concerns with the broader perspectives of scholarly history. This trend creates new opportunities to situate studies of the early digital within media studies, where scholars recognize that the modern world is mediated by the affordances of digital platforms, and within computer science where more scholars may come to share Knuth's sense that historical knowledge is the foundation of deep technical understanding.<o:p></o:p></span></p><h2
