In After Disruption: A Future for Cultural Memory, Trevor Owens warns that our institutions of cultural memory--libraries, archives, museums, humanities departments, research institutes, and more--have been "disrupted," and largely not for the better. He calls for memory workers and memory institutions to take back control of envisioning the future of memory from management consultants and tech sector evangelists. After Disruption posits that we are no longer planning for a digital future, but instead living in a digital present. In this context, Owens asks how we plan for and develop a more just, sustainable, and healthy future for cultural memory. The first half of the book draws on critical scholarship on the history of technology and business to document and expose the sources of tech startup ideologies and their pernicious results, revealing that we need powerful and compelling counter frameworks and values to replace these ideologies. The second half of the book makes the case for the centrality of maintenance, care, and repair as interrelated frameworks to build a better future in which libraries, archives, and museums can thrive as sites of belonging and connection through collections.CulturePreservationMemoryArchivesDigital preservationInformation servicesLibrariesCulturePreservation.Memory.Archives.Digital preservation.Information services.Libraries.ART059000LAN000000LAN025000bisacshOwens Trevor1708645EYMEYMBOOK9910842397603321After Disruption4289751UNINA
