In recent years digital technology has made available an inconceivably vast archive of old media. Images of the pastmdash;accessed with the touch of a fingermdash;are now intertwined with those of the present; raising questions about how visual culture affects our relationship with history and memory. This collection of new essays contributes to a growing debate about how the past and its media are appropriated in the modern world. Focusing on a range of visual cultures; the essays explore the intersection of film; television; online and print media and visual artmdash;platforms whose boundaries are increasingly hard to definemdash;and the various ways we engage the past in an environment saturated with the imagery of previous eras. Topics include period screen fiction; nonfiction media histories and memories; cinematic nostalgia and recycling; and the media as both purveyors and carriers of memory.
