“Play at Work: The Stolen Time Archive”
“The Stolen Time Archive” (2005) is an experimental, Web-based collection of objects and texts produced by, for, and about office work and office workers in the twentieth-century United States. Gambrell will present the interactive project, which she made in collaboration with artist Raegan Kelly, and will discuss some of the limits and possibilities offered by digital media to scholars, like herself, who are more accustomed to working in print.
Alice Gambrell is an associate professor in the English Department at the University of Southern California, where she also teaches courses affiliated with the Gender Studies Program and the Institute for Multimedia Literacy. Her book Women Intellectuals, Modernism, and Difference: transatlantic culture 1919-1945 was published by Cambridge University Press, in their “Cultural Margins” series, in 1997. “Stolen Time” is an interactive companion piece to her book-in-progress Writing is Work.
