Archives in Transition: Collective Memories and Subaltern Uses

Archives in Transition: Collective Memories and Subaltern Uses

 

This is the collection of materials created by the Archives in Transition: Collective Memories and Subaltern Uses, International Project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under the MSCA-RISE Scheme (Marie SkÅ‚odowska-Curie Actions – Research and Innovation Staff Exchange, Grant agreement #872299).
TRANS.ARCH will create a network of young and experienced researchers who will examine the current functions and uses of archives in the context of the crises associated with globalization. While the transatlantic makeup of the consortium of institutions involved in the project will allow a comparative analysis of the European and Latin American contexts, the innovative approach to the uses of archives by migrants and sexual dissidents will require researchers to create a new transdisciplinary approach with a strong gender perspective. This approach will open the way for the understanding of the transitional condition of archives, both in terms of their current political and cultural uses, and in terms of their changing theoretical status.

The purpose of this community is to allow all researchers and associated institutions to upload their texts, data set and conference presentations linked to the project.
