Karadeniz Müzik Arşivi’ni (KARMA) Yönetmek: Temeller, Gelişmeler ve Güncel Uygulamalar

Abstract

KARMA, founded in Trabzon (Türkiye) in 2011, brings together audio-visual archival materials from the Black Sea hinterland. The goal of this article is to promote the epistemological and ins- titutional background and actions of KARMA with its short history, objectives, and current app- lications for digital preservation. In this context, we will present how KARMA adapts Latour’s actor-network theory, Deleuze and Guattari’s rhizome, and Akat’s focus strategy model. We will also stress the importance of both micro and macro perspectives in order to understand the mu- sic cultures of the region through historical collections and new connections.
