Points of Departure (1/2)
 Industry 4.0 – University 4.0 – School 4.0 – …
Archive 4.0 ?
 “Opening up Education” –
recycling an old educational narrative
 Openness, sharing ….as “shimmering codes”,
“fuzzy terms”, “contested concepts”,
“conceptual policies”, …

Points of Departure (2/2)
 Fields of tension, paradoxes and ambivalences
 Media euphoria and cultural pessimism, social responsibility in dealing with knowledge and
economic calculation of knowledge production, open educational resources and knowledge-
gap dynamics, interplay of different capital types, etc.
 Freedom and coercion, external determination (heteronomy) and self-determination, uniformity
and diversity, mobilization and stabilization, adaptation and resistance, proximity and distance,
etc.
 dynamics of medialization, mediatisation, digitization, globalization – along with:
 dynamics of media constellations and media as "blind spots“
 New learning cultures and techno-communicative structural constraints
 Individualized learner-orientation and collective forms of subjectivation in the Web x.0
 Free educational media and colonialization of learning worlds
 Open forms of learning and intransparent forms of learning analytics
 International opening and media-cultural imperialism
 Medial extension and medial embodiment processes

Openness and Sharing in Discourse
 Historical calls for education for some, many or all
 New initiatives and discourses aimed at opening up education and research through
digital communications technologies and Creative Commons licenses, as well as
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)
 Different understandings and interpretations including anthropological assumptions of
open-ended developments, open-mindedness, ability to take criticism, open access,
open licensing, sharing knowledge commons, making use of commercial platforms,
etc.
 Open Education (OE), Open Educational Resources (OER), Open Science (OS) and
Citizen Science (CS) are used as umbrella terms internationally
 Weak and strong forms of openness and sharing
Quest for viable options for openness and sharing of archivals …

Research questions
How can archives be modeled as "hubs" for different modalities of the
design, reception and qualitative analysis of archival material that they
can
a) meet basic requirements of research, teaching and learning, as
well as scientific communication in the digital age, and
b) serve as a “nucleus of crystallization” for further dynamic
development of relevant discourse connections?

Objectives
 Theoretical foundation of a model for discursive and design-oriented
digital archiving - justification of visualization strategies and
conceptualization of living archives
 Creation of guidelines for mediographic archive portals on a Wiki
basis
 Application-oriented development of a web-based platform with
complex reference functions and an integrated tool set for teaching
and research purposes, including communicative basic functions

Potentials for Research
 from simplex general definitions of the form "knowledge is open" to differentiated
descriptions of knowledge dynamics and medial forms in research contexts
(cf. Leschke 2010)
 Development of innovative methods at the seams of QDA, argumentation and
discourse analysis
 Reflection of methodological and epistemological dimensions of "visual" methods,
visualization strategies, conceptions of "text", "interpretation", etc.
 Exploring scopes for designing of scientific archives in the light of design-theoretically
informed models and forms of self-application
 Paradigm reflexion as a polylogical undertaking (cf. Wimmer 2001)
 Metacritical thinking as a contextualist and genealogical thinking between the
priorities of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (Kuhn 1972) and the Revolution of
Scientific Structures (Müller 2016)

Potentials for Education
 General Education
 Dealing with conflicting dimensions in the educational process and cultivating educational
understandings of bricolage
 Self-reflexive forms of critical mediation between individual and collective memory
(cf. Schäfer 2009)
 Expansion of spaces for reflection, interaction and narration by way of integration of scientific
archives into educational contexts
 Higher Education
 Perspectives of political media education – politics in higher education and science policy as
a policy of remembrance and remembering
 Research-based learning via internet-based research of archival materials and the use of
collaborative learning environments
 Considering individual, historical, conceptual-systematic, discursive and user generated
contexts
 Education in Schools

Conclusion
 Scientific archives as nodes in transversal networked media systems offer
diverse innovative potentials for research and education
 Future-oriented developments require a differentiated approach to historical
and contemporary narratives including discourse assessment
(Diskursfolgenabschätzung by analogy to technology assessment)
 Need for reflection of new forms of academic practices
 Ethics of Sharing and „Virtues of Openness“ (Peters & Roberts 2012) are no
values per se – they require contextual considerations
 the opposition anti-technological humanities or cultural sciences versus
techno-euphoric engineering and natural sciences is historically overhauled –
moreover, this applies not only to archives:
“The design of digital tools for scholarship is an intellectual responsibility, not a
technical task.” (Drucker 2009)
