Home Movies as Everyday Media Histories. Approaching Home Made Imagery in the Age of New Media

Abstrakt

The author presents methodological concept devoted to studies of home movies. She combines in an original way broad range of discourses. For example she utilizes André Gaudreault’s and Philippe Marion’s studies on the genealogy of media, the concept of intermediality, media convergence, theory of remediation and researches on media domestication. This medium-focused perspective convincingly links together social and technological history – studies on “the history of the media-shaping man and the user-shaping media”.
