Larcher, Jonathan2021-07-162021-07-162021-06-08https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/17124What if videotapes were considered as either waste or commodity – to be forgotten, or sold and reused and re-recorded? This is the question raised by this text, which gives an account of a multi-sited ethnographic project that follows the human and material circulation of amateur analogue video technologies in Romania since the mid-1980s. At the intersection of anthropology and media archaeology, this text aims to show how videotapes have been an important part of a post-socialist Romanian media infrastructure, that distributed pirated media, home movies, and local television productions.engCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 GenericAnthropologieMedienarchäologiePiraterieRumänien1990er Jahre2000er JahreVideotechnikanthropologyhome moviemedia archaeologypiracyvideoRomania1990s2000s79110.25969/mediarep/162712213-0217
