Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Literature Review from the year 2008 in the subject History - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Cape Town (Department of Historical Studies), course: History & Politics in Africa, language: English, abstract: Working in archives is indeed 'the bread and butter' of the historian. Before they go there for the first time however, hardly any student of history has got a thorough understanding of how archives function and what they represent. Thus, for many it turns out to be a quite intimidating experience, because one can all too easily get lost as one rarely has a definite starting point, let alone a proper map for the first descent. On the other hand, some archives offer guided tours that leave their visitors with a feeling of crossing the thresholds to the halls of the past, imbuing them with a sense of awe before all of that stored evidence.The conventional notion of the archive has generally been of a place where evidence about past events is being preserved for present and future generations. This implied the assumption that the primary sources uncovered from the archive were to be treated like impartial witnesses, capable of producing objective knowledge about the past, as long as they were interpreted according to historical methodology. Starting from the assumption that such a conventional idea of the archive is very much outdated, the project of 'Refiguring the Archive' is to 'bring to bear on `archive an interrogation similar to that which concepts like `canon or `orientalism have undergone' and to 'develop our understanding of the circumstances of the creation of the archival record'.In order to understand why the above described notion of archive is outdated in the post-modern world and to see the necessity of interrogating 'circumstances of the creation of archival record', it proves helpful to remember some of the origins of such questioning. In 1967, Richard Rorty published an anthology with the title 'The Linguistic Turn. Recent Essays in Philosophical Method'. Whereas Immanuel Kant had been the first philosopher to formulate the boundaries of human reason, the linguistic turn represented a consequent application of Kant's ideas, since the limits of our thinking are in fact determined by the limits of our language. …

Paperback. Etat : New. Refiguring the Archive at once expresses cutting-edge debates on `the archive' in South Africa and internationally, and pushes the boundaries of those debates. It brings together prominent thinkers from a range of disciplines, mainly South Africans but a number from other countries. Traditionally archives have been seen as preserving memory and as holding the past. The contributors to this book question this orthodoxy, unfolding the ways in which archives construct, sanctify, and bury pasts. In his contribution, Jacques Derrida (an instantly recognisable name in intellectual discourse worldwide) shows how remembering can never be separated from forgetting, and argues that the archive is about the future rather than the past. Collectively the contributors demonstrate the degree to which thinking about archives is embracing new realities and new possibilities. The book expresses a confidence in claiming for archival discourse previously unentered terrains. It serves as an early manual for a time that has already begun. Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2002.…
