And every day cultural institutions and private bodies add thousands of new cultural works to the digital sphere. Mass digitization is forming new central nexuses of knowledge and new ways of engaging with that knowledge. What at first glance appears to be a simple act of digitization (a transformation of singular books from boundary objects to open sets of data), at closer examination reveals a complex process teeming with diverse political, legal, and cultural investments. This book argues that mass digitization has become a global cultural political project. It offers an in-depth examination of mass digitization of cultural memory in the West and beyond. It suggests a new approach to the study of digital cultural memory archives, proposing to understand mass digitization not as neutral technical processes, but rather as distinct subpolitical processes that build new kinds of archives and new ways of interacting with these archives. And it seeks to develop a critical theoretical framework for understanding the new archival apparatuses and the politics and memory dynamics they give rise to"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Framing mass digitization -- Understanding mass digitization -- Mapping mass digitization -- The trials, tribulations, and transformations of Google Books -- Sovereign soul searching: the politics of Europeana -- The licit and illicit nature of mass digitization -- Lost in mass digitization. 650 0 $a Library materials $x Digitization. 650 0 $a Archival materials $x Digitization. 650 0 $a Copyright and digital preservation. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707014930.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829015056.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=03D303983F1811E98434DF6697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
