How should we understand social memory in the age of new media? Classic sociology described the ways in which social memory was enacted through ritual, language art, architecture and institution - phenomena whose persistence over time and whose capacity for a shared storing of the past was contrasted with fleeting individual memory. Society is memory, Émile Durkheim stated. However, today's new time technologies compel us to rethink this concept of memory and its emphasis on a shared past. For in the age of digital computing, instant updating and transfer functions and interconnection through real time networks give an unprecedented priority to the present and the future, while challenging the very distinction between individual and collective memory. New media technologies raise the question of the temporalities of memory to a principle, challenging not just the classic description of social memory, but also the social ontology that it presupposes. 'Memory in Motion: Archives, Technology and the Social' discusses the new technologies of memory from perspectives that explicitly investigate their impact on the very conceptualization of the social.

Der kleine Film legt keine Ontologie des Mediums nahe, sondern eine Möglichkeit das Kleine als historiografische und filmtheoretische Größe zu thematisieren. Das Buch befasst sich mit drei Sammlungen von Amateuraufnahmen aus der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus und konfrontiert sie mit Siegfried Kracauers Geschichte - Vor den letzten Dingen - mehrere verschollene Gegenstände, die zu der Frage führen, wie sich das Kleine im historiografischen Prozess zum Großen positionieren lässt. Kracauers methodisches Grundproblem des Maßstabs wird in Varianten durchgespielt: vom Einzelding zur Geschichte, vom Gelegenheitsbild zum Filmmotiv, vom Aufsatz zur Filmtheorie und zuletzt vom kleinen Film zur kulturgeschichtlichen Mikrologie. Dabei geht es nicht um Kleinigkeitskrämerei, sondern um das, was bleibt, wenn die großen Schauplätze der Filmgeschichte in den Hintergrund treten.
