Forgetting and Being Forgotten:
Growing Up in a Digital Era

 

Kate Eichhorn
Kate Eichhorn

A convergence of technological and economic changes has eroded our ability to forget and be forgotten by others. For children and youth, this reversal has also resulted in a series of high-stakes tradeoffs. While young people have finally gained access to the media technologies needed to represent their lives and broadcast these representations on a wide scale, in the process, their ability to take risks without consequence and to carefully curate which memories they carry forward into adulthood has been compromised. This talk explores the decline of forgetting and its impact on social identity development, paying specific attention to the impact this shift will have on young people who have historically had the most to gain from the freedom associated with forgetting and being forgotten.

Presentation

About the Speaker

Kate Eichhorn has spent the past two decades researching the impact of new media technologies on youth cultures, subcultures, and social movements.

Her previous books include Adjusted Margin (MIT, 2016) and The Archival Turn in Feminism (Temple University Press, 2013). Eichhorn is Associate Professor and Director of Culture and Media Studies at The New School University in New York City.
