Abstract:

Abstract: Assia Djebar actively participates in the questioning of colonial history, writing L'Amour, la fantasia as a palimpsestic reparative historiography that turns the gaze of the colonial archive in on itself. Identification of the sources of uncited archival references, which Djebar interpolates in her own writing, offers a further glimpse of both her historiographical work, as well as how her authorial voice intervenes within the reappropriation of the archive to illustrate narratives which challenge a singular historical record. By pursuing a map of the uncited archival references tha

This article seeks to explore the impact of digital technologies upon the material, conceptual and ideological premises of the colonial archive in the digital era. This analysis is pursued though a discussion of creative work produced during an international, multidisciplinary artist workshop in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, that used digital material from colonial photographic archives in the Netherlands to critically investigate the ways national, transnational and personal (hi)stories in the former colonies in Southeast Asia have been informed and shaped by their colonial past.

Abstract:

The global history of knowledge which has developed in recent years is focused on what we know and how we know it. The analysis of global knowledge transfer not only depends on individuals and institutions that made the circulation of information possible, but also on the way documents were intentionally stored and organized. However, the question of how archives, libraries, and other repositories reorganized knowledge, connected disconnected events, and developed techniques of record keeping in a colonial situation has hardly been answered. European central archives are the better known side

Abstract:

Until fairly recently it could be said that the bulk of historical literature concerning Bolivia was in some way or another to do with its colonial past, and especially the role that silvermining played in that past. Luckily for those interested in Bolivian colonial history, the nation's capital houses the so-called ‘national archive’, which contains a plethora of historical documents, archives, and so on. This ‘national archive’ has proven quite adequate for these purposes.

Colonial archives congregate intricate webs of information and knowledge articulating numerous historical public and private services. What may represent a colonial public works archive? Are these archives solely collections of historical administrative documents? It seems that these archives can’t be merely the result of colonial administrative and bureaucratic procedures as they perform similarly to territory. Public works records testify to a dense landscape, summoning actors from numerous arenas – politicians, architects, engineers, entrepreneurs, and subalterns – with European uses, custo

This article focuses on the genealogy of the Mackintosh archive, showing how subjects are interpellated through archival networks that span imperial and metropolitan sites, linking people, ideas, knowledge and material resources. By tracing the Mackintosh archive across generations of family members embedded in British imperial society, it shows how archives call forth an individual—Sir James Mackintosh—as a symbol and a site of the interconnections between the patriarchal family, the male-dominated state and the production of cultural imaginaries of belonging.

In this paper, our aim is to think about two central figures that are sometimes overlooked: the photographer and the photographic apparatus. Although photography was constructed at the end of the 19th century as an objective and purely technical instrument, it was an important element in framing an imperial world view.

This is an ongoing, flexible inquiry into the status of the archive in Colonial and Early American Studies for our present day. In 2021, scholars from the US, Mexico, and Germany started the research project to examine how the shift from physical to digital archives has influenced knowledge organization, access, and historical narratives.

This essay establishes points of contact between Sigmund Freud’s research on the anal-sadistic stage of infantile sexuality in the first decade of the twentieth century and the Irishman Roger Casement’s contemporaneous sexual practices in Peru while he investigated a colonial rubber enterprise for its gruesomely violent punitive practices against colonized peoples. The pairing of Freud and Casement elucidates a theory of colonial archivization evinced in Casement’s notorious Black Diaries and in Freud’s Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality and “Wolf Man” case history.

As a result, researchers working on chieftainships, hired historians, and claimants to chieftaincy face a frustrating challenge of limited sources. This article analyzes the sourc

Abstract:

This article seeks to investigate the largest collection of literary artefacts in South Africa, housed at the National English Literary Museum, and particularly the relationship between the founder of the museum and archive, Guy Butler, and how NELM has come to operate in the South African literary landscape in a post-colonial and post-apartheid moment. It is necessary to invoke the post-colonial moment from the outset in order to explore the question of post-colonial archives from a critical perspective.This research is informed by what has come to be known as the ‘archival turn,’ which consi

Abstract:

Documentarian and writer Atteyat al-Abnoudy was a fierce proponent of Egypt’s working class and marginalized communities. She carved indelible, haunting images onto the national psyche through her work, which is more prescient than ever. This essay explores the ways in which it is possible to understand and interpret Al Abnoudy’s work processes and filmic legacy within the context of Egypt’s lack of archival practices. The larger context of Egyptian documentary filmmaking and the impact of post-colonial practices on the arts and culture sphere also inform the article.

This paper aims to examine the development ofLAM memory institutions (Library, Archive, Museum) or libraries, archives,and museums during the British colonial era in Malaya. This study is using qualitative methods that involve the collection and evaluation of primary sources from National Archive and Museum. The findings of the study show that the efforts of usingLAM in Europe based on the philosophy of the Enlightenment have been applied by the British in the colonization of Malaya. This reality can be seen from the British writings on Malaya before independence. Among them was the role of Is

Abstract:

Archives, as repositories of culture and knowledge, are closely linked to colonial power, control, hegemony, and conquest. In recognizing the limitations and problems of conventional archives, scholars and artists offer counter-archiving as a method of interrogating what constitutes an archive and the selective practices that continuously erase particular subjects. Unlike static, stable, and linear colonial archives, counter-archives are grounded in accountability and reciprocity. Similarly, the anarchive is concerned with what it can do in the present-future. As such, anarchiving is less a th

Abstract:

What is the role of cultural archives in creating and sustaining connections between diasporic communities? Through an analysis of an audiovisual archive that has sought to bring together representations of and by African, Caribbean and Asian people, this article discusses the relationship between diasporic film, knowledge production and feminist solidarity. Focusing on a self-curated, UK-based archive, the June Givanni Pan-African Cinema Archive, we explore the potentiality of archives for carving out spaces of diasporic connectivity and resistance. This archive assembles the holdings of pan-

En este estudio se analiza la novela de Mario Vargas Llosa El sueño del celta (2010) bajo el concepto de novela archivo de Roberto González Echevarría según el cual la narrativa latinoamericana evoca la historia de Latinoamérica y sus mitos, y desarticula las narrativas previas para crear otras nuevas. En esta lectura, propongo que la novela archivo ha cambiado como consecuencia del proceso de globalización, y que la novela El sueño del celta es un ejemplo de una nueva novela archivo que hace apertura hacia nuevos espacios geográficos, qu
