内容简介:
To study an archive or archival materials is to
encounter an affective and critical practice
involved in the construction of memory.
Lexicon for an Affective Archive, edited by
Giulia Palladini and Marco Pustianaz, is an
international collection of these encounters,
offering glimpses into the intimate relations
inherent in finding, remembering (or imagining)
and creating an archive. Bringing together voices
from a variety of fields across the humanities,
performance studies and contemporary art, and
engaging in a multidisciplinary analysis, this
beautifully designed and fully illustrated volume
advances the idea of an ‘affective archive’ as a
useful conceptual tool – a tool which contributes
to an understanding of an expanded notion of an
archive and its central role in contemporary visual
and performing arts.
