JFK reenactments from Technologies of History
I just got back from SCMS 2011 in New Orleans, where I presented a talk on reenactments of the JFK assassination drawn from Technologies of History as part of a panel titled Cultural Logics of Replay. Although these slides don’t include the video clips used in the presentation, the JFK montage is included in the media survey I cut together for the book. The panel generated some very engaged responses and was followed by a book signing hosted by Mark Williams and Dartmouth College Press. Thanks to everyone who joined us for the panel and the signing!
