What strikes me about these reading is thinking about how temporality can transform archives. The structure and means of organizing an archive reflects the environment that communities are building. We have seen this in other archives we’ve explored this semseter, especially in archives that reflect colonial natures. So it no surprise that we see the archive radicalize within the last few decades in line with radical feminism. I wonder however, what radical taxonimical features, we are injecting into archives that either will fade with time, or even will be amplified with retrospection.
Thanks, Iltimas, for pointing out that archives evolve and are thus a product of — and a reflection of — their times. This is in part Foucault’s argument (from the archaeology of things): that our systems of discourse reflect various epistemic regimes.
