The Witness in Media Assemblages

Summary/Abstract: New media have changed concepts of witnesses and testimonies. Exploring this development in relation to the notion of the crisis of testimony, Borowski also searches for appropriate forms of describing new practices of giving witness. Methodological approaches to media studies are combined with the theory of assemblage to foreground the effectiveness of communication technologies, which, Borowski argues, have a decisive impact on the shape and course of acts of witnessing, both in the legal context and in the sphere of political activism. This perspective also makes it possible to verify the historical concepts of witnessing and their relationships with analogue media.
