Abstract

Dijital teknolojiler, bireylerin, toplumların ve şirketlerin veri toplama, hatırlama ve unutmalarına olanak veren yeni dijital araçlar ve platformlar sağladığı için, geçmişi saklama, hatırlama ve unutma teamüllerini dönüştürdü. Yeni medya yakınsamasıyla birlikte bellek, kişisel ve yerel özellikleri yanında küresel bir boyut da kazandı ve dijital olarak aracılanmış belleğe dönüştü. Bu teknolojiler dijital belleğin siber uzamda sonsuz defa indekslenmesine, arşivlenmesine, dolaşıma girmesine ve işlenmesine olanak sağlıyor. Bu nedenle, dijital olarak aracılanmış bellek toplumlar üzerinde bazı ekonomik, politik, sosyal ve kültürel etkiler yarattığı için, Web ve bulut teknolojilerindeki ilerlemeler, bellek çalışmalarının yeni boyutlarının ekonomi politik bir bakış açısıyla tartışılmasını mümkün kılıyor. Bu çalışma, dijital belleğin metalaşma süreçlerini kavramsal olarak inceler, dijital belleğin maddi ve gayri maddi temellerini ekonomi politik perspektiften analiz eder ve bu ikisinin temel olarak iç içe geçtiğini ileri sürer. Teknolojik araçların üretilmesinde kullanılan nadir elementler, dijital belleğin maddi temeli olarak ele alınır. Ayrıca, bu nadir elementleri kullanan büyük teknoloji şirketleri ve onların veri merkezleri bu maddi temelin uzantıları olarak incelenir. Dijital olarak arşivlenen, yönetilen ve erişilen bellek, veri olarak kabul edilir ki bu, dijital belleğin gayri maddi temelini oluşturur. Dijital belleğin maddi ve gayri maddiliği, mevcut veri ekonomisine içkin iktidar ilişkilerinden ve ideolojiden bağımsız değerlendirilemez. Bu nedenle, bu çalışma veri ekonomisine içkin iktidar ilişkilerinin ve ideolojinin maddiliği ve gayri maddiliği arasındaki akışı açığa çıkarmak için, dijital belleği ekonomi politik bir perspektiften tartışmayı hedefler. Ayrıca böyle bir ekonomik sistemde karşılaşılması muhtemel zorlukları, riskleri ve çıktıları da ortaya koyar.

Un débat critique sur l'économie politique de la mémoire numérique

Abstract

Les technologies numériques ont transformé les conventions de préservation, de rappel et d'oubli du passé étant donné qu’elles fournissent de nouveaux outils et plateformes numériques pour se souvenir, oublier et collecter des données pour les individus, les sociétés et les entreprises. Avec la convergence des nouveaux médias, la mémoire gagne un aspect global avec ses caractéristiques personnelles et locales, et se transforme en mémoire numérique. Ces technologies permettent d'indexer, d'archiver, de circuler et de traiter à l'infini la mémoire numérique dans le cyberespace. Par conséquent, les progrès des technologies du Web et de l'informatique en nuage offrent aux études sur la mémoire de nouvelles dimensions à discuter dans une perspective d'économie politique, car la mémoire numérique a des impacts économiques, politiques, sociétaux et culturels sur les sociétés. Cette étude examine conceptuellement les processus de marchandisation de la mémoire numérique et analyse ses bases matérielles et immatérielles dans une perspective d'économie politique, et affirme qu'elles sont fondamentalement entrelacées. Les terres rares qui sont utilisées pour produire des dispositifs technologiques sont considérées comme la base matérielle de la mémoire digitale. Additionnellement, les grandes entreprises technologiques utilisant ces terres rares et leurs centres de données sont considérés comme des extensions de sa matérialité. La mémoire archivée, gérée et récupérée numériquement est considérée comme des données, qui représentent la base immatérielle de la mémoire numérique. La matérialité et l'immatérialité de la mémoire numérique ne sont pas considérées comme indépendantes des relations de pouvoir et des idéologies inhérentes à l'économie actuelle des données. En conséquence, cette étude vise à discuter de la mémoire numérique dans une perspective d'économie politique pour révéler le flux entre sa matérialité et son immatérialité et les relations de pouvoir inhérentes à l'économie des données. Elle présente également les défis potentiels, les risques et les résultats que nous pouvons rencontrer dans un tel système économique.

A Critical Debate on the Political Economy of Digital Memory

Year 2022, Issue: 37, 164 - 186, 30.12.2022
https://doi.org/10.16878/gsuilet.1167144

Abstract

Digital technologies have transformed the conventions of preserving, recalling, and forgetting the past as they provide new digital tools and platforms to remember, to forget and to collect data for individuals, societies, and corporations. With the convergence of new media, memory gains a global aspect along with its personal and local characteristics and turns into the digitally mediated memory. These technologies enable digital memory to be indexed, archived, circulated, and processed infinitely in cyberspace. Therefore, the advancements in the Web and cloud computing technologies yield new dimensions for memory studies to be discussed from a political economy perspective since digitally mediated memory has some economic, political, societal, and cultural impacts on societies. This study conceptually scrutinizes the commodification processes of digital memory and analyzes its material and immaterial bases from a political economy perspective, and claims that they are fundamentally interwoven. The rare earths which are used to produce technological devices are considered as the material basis. Additionally, major technology corporations using these rare earths, and their data centers are taken as the extensions of its materiality. Digitally archived, managed, and retrieved memory is considered as data, which represent immaterial basis of digital memory. The materiality and immateriality of digital memory are not regarded as independent from the inherent power relations and ideologies of the current data economy. Thus, this study aims to discuss digital memory from a political economy perspective to reveal the flow between its materiality and immateriality and the inherent power relations in the data economy. It also poses the potential challenges, risks, and outcomes we may encounter in such an economic system.
