Rogue Archives in Digital Humanities Quarterly
Brian Watson, from Indiana University published the book review "Rogue Performances: A Review of Abigail De Kosnik’s Rogue Archives: Digital Cultural Memory and Media Fandom" in Digital Humanities Quarterly! Watson originally live tweeted his experience and review of Rogue Archives. Later, these tweets were gathered into a more organized article form.
BCNM Director Abigail De Kosnik published Rogue Archives in 2016 though MIT Press.
From the abstract:
In Rogue Archives: Digital Cultural Memory and Media Fandom (2016), Abigail de Kosnik establishes the idea of rogue archives as easily available, copyright-agnostic, and amateur-run digital archives that preserve non-traditional material. More than just a concept, De Kosnik’s interdisciplinary and wide-ranging rogue archives are used as a framework to understand shifts in media, internet culture, and as sites of individual and community social media performances. This review, which was originally livetweeted, also considers its own performance, situating Twitter reviews as a continuation of eighteenth-century book culture.
