Roundtable: Special Issue on “Archival Lives of Popular Culture” at The Journal of Popular Culture

The latest issue of The Journal of Popular Culture, guest-edited by Rüstem Ertuğ Altınay and Olivera Jokić, examines the complex relationship between archives and popular culture in the context of the “archival turn.” Bringing together a group of essays by scholars and practitioners, diverse in their geographical focus and objects of interest, the special issue explores how studying popular culture materials can fundamentally advance our conceptions of the archive and how using the archive as a lens can enrich the study of popular culture.

The essays reveal how the relationship of mutual and revitalizing pressure between archives and popular culture can produce critical knowledge about the desires that shape our social and political imagination of the future.

At the roundtable, the authors and the editors will discuss their essays and their broader work in relation to archives and popular culture.

Time: Thursday, April 22, at 8 pm Istanbul (GTM +3)
