“Spotlight on voices from the community” is a section of the International Journal of Roma Studies (IJRS) where interviews, experiences, initiatives and other news related with the Roma will be collected. This section aims to highlight and share the voices from the community, especially from the Roma People, in order to know more about how to improve the situation of this population and having more information and other points of view about Roma around the world. In this Issue, IJRS dedicates this section to “RomArchive – The Digital Archive of the Roma” (Germany). This paper has been written by Isabel Raabe, one of the RomArchive Project Initiator.

This afterword addresses the complex temporal and global dynamics of the coronavirus pandemic. After considering some of the new social rhythms that have emerged in the wake of Covid-19 around the world, it turns to the role of collective memory before, during and after corona. The aim is to provide a basic grid for how the Covid-19 pandemic could be addressed using memory studies expertise and concepts such as premediation, memorability, memory (ab)use, national memory, colonial memory, racial stereotypes, the digital archive, generational memory, or Anthropocene time.

Severity Of The Disease

Plant disease is a major problem for food security, but in many parts of the world their rapid prediction remains difficult because of lack of the infrastructure required. New advances in machine vision achieved via deep learning have paved the way for diagnosis of AI-assisted diseases. To help determine the extent of plant disease, provide agricultural specialists with a digital archive with photos of diseased leaves. Estimate depends on Standard Area Diagrams (SADs), a collection of diseased leaf images, each of which includes an incrementally more diseased leaf compared to the previous one. Every SAD shows seriousness of the disease in terms of the percentage of the diseased leaf. Users then turn to the field for a leaf. For eg, equate it to SADs and use it to measure the severity of the disease. “This app is useful for crop consultants and research scientists looking to cut costs and improve the time and accuracy for assessing disease severity in plants.”

Artistic Medium

The concept of remediation, as elaborated by Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin in Remediation: Understanding New Media (1999), is premised on the notion that media are best understood in interaction rather than in isolation. Every artistic medium, they argue, orients itself in relation to another medium, whether respectfully—as in the case of an online literary database that seeks to provide easy access to faithful facsimiles of manuscripts—or competitively—as with a videogame that seeks to replace the linearity and passivity of print with open-ended interactivity. Bolter and Grusin describe individual media in turns of two basic impulses: immediacy, or the attempt to erase the mediating function and present the illusion of directly represented reality; and hypermediacy, or the attempt to foreground the mediating function, exposing the impossibility of direct representation. They employ the same vocabulary to describe the interaction of media. Every act of remediation—every representation of one medium in another—necessarily involves both immediacy and hypermediacy. A digital edition of a literary text grants access to the words of the original print artifact (immediacy), yet by including audio readings and video commentary draws attention to its digital-specific affordances (hypermediacy). A digital archive gathers together high-resolution, color-accurate reproductions of materials scattered in rare-book libraries around the world (immediacy), yet by granting free and instantaneous access to these precious, fragile objects, fundamentally transforms the experience of engaging with their analog originals (hypermediacy). Insisting that one approach media through interaction, Bolter and Grusin’s theory of remediation positions the movement of content from one medium to another as a form of translation—a transformative act in which much is lost as well as gained.
