Dear colleagues, The Phonogrammarchiv of the Austrian Academy of Sciences cordially invites you to an online presentation of the results of the project, "The entangled colonial history of sound recordings: The expedition of the Viennese anthropologist Rudolf Pöch to Papua New Guinea (1904–1906)" (https://www.entangled-recordings.pha.oeaw.ac.at/). The aim of the small seven-month City of Vienna project from 2023 to 2024, was to reconnect the dispersed objects and recordings that the anthropologist Rudolf Pöch, who worked within a racist, evolutionistic theoretical framework, had shipped to Vienna through colonial networks and infrastructures. This included 94 wax disc audio recordings with people in what is today Papua New Guinea stored in the Phonogrammarchiv today. We focused on finding these dispersed collections and making these materials that various institutions hold in Vienna better findable online. One of the project aims was to publish a website, of which the first version went online at the beginning of this year. In its current state, it mainly presents several holdings in Vienna related to Pöch's colonial 'expedition' to Papua New Guinea. We are currently preparing another section that delves into some of the preliminary findings and opens further research questions. Furthermore, we are currently considering what the digital recirculation of these recordings may look like today, and what this implies. To further reflect on the continuation of this project, the online presentation includes a roundtable discussion about re-circulating (early) sound recordings, beyond this particular collection. Participants will be Barbara Titus (University of Amsterdam), Don Niles (Institute of Papua New Guinea Studies), Emmanuel Daniel (Institute of Papua New Guinea Studies), linus digim'Rina (University of Papua New Guinea) and meLê Yamomo (University of Amsterdam). Join us for the presentation and roundtable on Nov 13th, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. PGT / 9:30 a.m. CET: https://oeaw-ac-at.zoom.us/j/63862815692?pwd=iM5n7rFhA9a3ey8ywtn21799DDWpPZ…. We look forward to your attendance and an engaging discussion. Please find the program in the attachment. Kind regards, Alexander Silaen, Conny Gruber, Kerstin Klenke and Clemens Gütl. _______________________________________________ HPS_EST mailing list -- hps_est(a)lists.philo.at To unsubscribe send an email to hps_est-leave(a)lists.philo.at
