Title: Beyond ENIAC: Early Digital Platforms & Practices
\nDates: June 10-12, 2016
\nLocation: Ludwig Wittgenstein House, Unteres Schlo\u00df 3, 57072 Siegen, Germany (map link) .
\nOrganizer: Thomas Haigh (thomas.haigh@gmail.com)
\nSponsor: Collaborative research center „Media of Cooperation“ of Siegen University.<\/p>\n

The publication of ENIAC In Action: Making and Remaking the Modern Computer (Haigh, Priestley & Rope, 2016) provides an opportunity to showcase new work on the history of computing and explore the place such work within media studies and computer science, the two key components of Siegen University\u2019s new School of Media and Information. During the workshop many of Europe\u2019s 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 history was being \u201cdumbed down.“ 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.<\/p>\n
