Archives: Methods Laboratory – Exploring the Complex Nature of Archives and their Critical Methods

2023-09-14 13:17:15

For more than two decades, the archival turn has concerned the entire field of humanities and social sciences. It is accompanied by a change in the status of archives, from sources that they were, to complex objects, irreducible to their simple documentary function. Complex objects, because they result from an elaboration process marked by the intervention of multiple actors, the archives mobilize the use of a set of critical methods designed both to restore and understand the precise nature of the accidents which occurred to them. own but also to bring them to the knowledge of the public, scholarly or wider, in the form, in particular, of editions – critical, genetic, commented, digital, sometimes augmented by a set of metadata in increasing quantity.

By drawing on examples which all look at individual processes of creation or design (literary, philosophical, artistic), the Colloquium Translitterae 2023 “Archives: methods laboratory” intends to bring together and engage in dialogue the actors who contribute to the invention of archives and their understanding.
