1.4.3 the return of the middle ages and other media archaeologies


Today we learned to return of the Middle Ages and other archaeologies.
William says that we can make sense of relation between remote times and the present through the idea that a culture contains dominant, residual, and emergent elements.
That is we can make sense new media if we know past media.
Robin says that about the past media, think in non-technological ways about the past and to recognize what 'modern culture has repressed and disavowed'.
In fact, I didn’t remember media’s history, and I asked why we learn to return thing.
But through this class, I realize why we learn history.
Discovery of the kind of historical precedents for media is opportunities of develop new media.
