DCRC Seminar: Amanda Egbe – Listening Between the Gaps: Fugitive Historiography as Method and Practice
Listening Between the Gaps: Fugitive Historiography as Method and Practice
In this talk, Amanda Egbe introduces fugitive historiography, a framework developed through her moving-image practice and research into archives, racialised vision, and technological mediation. Blending autoethnography, critical theory, and artistic experimentation, Egbe reflects on her trajectory through family archives, early cinematic histories, and digital prototyping. She considers how these encounters shape a method of listening between the gaps attending to what is obscured, erased, or only partially visible in historical narratives.
Exploring how old and new technologies co-produce knowledge, she demonstrates how blur, counterpoint, and juxtaposition can operate as critical and creative strategies for reimagining history, technology, and the politics of knowledge production.
